go-staticmaps

A go (golang) library and command line tool to render static map images using OpenStreetMap tiles.

What?

go-staticmaps is a golang library that allows you to create nice static map images from OpenStreetMap tiles, along with markers of different size and color, as well as paths and colored areas.

go-staticmaps comes with a command line tool called create-static-map for use in shell scripts, etc.

How?

Installation

Installing go-staticmaps is as easy as

go get -u github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps

For the command line tool, use

go get -u github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps/create-static-map

Of course, your local Go installation must be setup up properly.

Library Usage

Create a 400x300 pixel map with a red marker:

import (
  "image/color"

  "github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps"
  "github.com/fogleman/gg"
  "github.com/golang/geo/s2"
)

func main() {
  ctx := sm.NewContext()
  ctx.SetSize(400, 300)
  ctx.AddMarker(sm.NewMarker(s2.LatLngFromDegrees(52.514536, 13.350151), color.RGBA{0xff, 0, 0, 0xff}, 16.0))

  img, err := ctx.Render()
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }

  if err := gg.SavePNG("my-map.png", img); err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
}

See GoDoc for a complete documentation and the source code of the command line tool for an example how to use the package.

Command Line Usage

Usage:
  create-static-map [OPTIONS]

Creates a static map

Application Options:
      --width=PIXELS       Width of the generated static map image (default: 512)
      --height=PIXELS      Height of the generated static map image (default: 512)
  -o, --output=FILENAME    Output file name (default: map.png)
  -t, --type=MAPTYPE       Select the map type; list possible map types with '--type list'
  -c, --center=LATLNG      Center coordinates (lat,lng) of the static map
  -z, --zoom=ZOOMLEVEL     Zoom factor
  -b, --bbox=NW_LATLNG|SE_LATLNG
                           Set the bounding box (NW_LATLNG = north-western point of the
                           bounding box, SW_LATLNG = southe-western point of the bounding
                           box)
  -m, --marker=MARKER      Add a marker to the static map
  -p, --path=PATH          Add a path to the static map
  -a, --area=AREA          Add an area to the static map

Help Options:
  -h, --help               Show this help message

General

The command line interface tries to resemble Google's Static Maps API. If neither --bbox, --center, nor --zoom are given, the map extent is determined from the specified markers, paths and areas.

Markers

The --marker option defines one or more map markers of the same style. Use multiple --marker options to add markers of different styles.

--marker MARKER_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

LATLNG is a comma separated pair of latitude and longitude, e.g. 52.5153,13.3564.

MARKER_STYLES consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character |:

• color:COLOR - where COLOR is either of the form 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, or one of black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, white (default: red)
• size:SIZE - where SIZE is one of mid, small, tiny, or some number > 0 (default: mid)
• label:LABEL - where LABEL is an alpha numeric character, i.e. A-Z, a-z, 0-9; (default: no label)
• labelcolor:COLOR - where COLOR is either of the form 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, or one of black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, white (default: black or white, depending on the marker color)

Paths

The --path option defines a path on the map. Use multiple --path options to add multiple paths to the map.

--path PATH_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

or

--path PATH_STYLES|gpx:my_gpx_file.gpx

PATH_STYLES consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character |:

• color:COLOR - where COLOR is either of the form 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, or one of black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, white (default: red)
• weight:WEIGHT - where WEIGHT is the line width in pixels (defaut: 5)

Areas

The --area option defines a closed area on the map. Use multiple --area options to add multiple areas to the map.

--area AREA_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

AREA_STYLES consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character |:

• color:COLOR - where COLOR is either of the form 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, or one of black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, white (default: red)
• weight:WEIGHT - where WEIGHT is the line width in pixels (defaut: 5)
• fill:COLOR - where COLOR is either of the form 0xRRGGBB, 0xRRGGBBAA, or one of black, blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, white (default: none)

Examples

Basic Maps

Centered at "N 52.514536 E 13.350151" with zoom level 10:

$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map1.png -c "52.514536,13.350151" -z 10

A map with a marker at "N 52.514536 E 13.350151" with zoom level 14 (no need to specify the map's center - it is automatically computed from the marker(s)):

$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map2.png -z 14 -m "52.514536,13.350151"

A map with two markers (red and green). If there are more than two markers in the map, a good zoom level can be determined automatically:

$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map3.png -m "color:red|52.514536,13.350151" -m "color:green|52.516285,13.377746"

Create a map of the Berlin Marathon

  --marker "color:red|52.5160,13.3711" \
