Support remote images #60

Closed jonmmease closed 1 year ago

jonmmease commented 1 year ago

Closes https://github.com/vega/vl-convert/issues/59

Implements a custom usvg image string resolver that uses the reqwest crate to download remote image files to temporary files so that usvg will pick them up properly.

As always, your speed is impressive! Great solution to the problem and glad to know that I can continue with implementing basemaps based on remote tile images knowing that vl-convert can now support this approach.

Interested to hear more about this at some point!

Still early stages but I just published a first draft at https://github.com/binste/altair_basemap. The repo might be moved to the altair-viz org or the feature directly implemented in Vega-Lite, see https://github.com/vega/vega-lite/pull/8885, not sure yet. You can see some examples in this notebook.
