I suspect the problem with the west and north borders of Whatcom
county may have been due to the way the Shapefile extracts where
done rather than present in the OSM database itself.

The misspelling of Insterstate at Snoqualmie Pass along I-90 is
most likely in the master database.

Hi

Curt, I like yours better than my poor attempt last night.

One tweak I would do though is set the fill_color to 10 for TYPE=forest on 
_natural.dbfawk

For Ireland the administrative database seems to have multiple levels 
(2,4,6,7,10 and 'blank') to represent the same thing, though Level 2 seems to 
be the border with the North of Ireland, and some Sea 'borders'. 

Thanks
John

 County Borders?  Look at the *_administrative.dbfawk file.
 
 http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:DBFAWK
 
 has the colors.
 
 I don't know if they separated the county borders adequately from
 other items, but try editing the four levels in the dbfawk file one
 at a time to see if you can get the effect you're after.

H!


Where did you put the dbfawk file?  There are two locations,
corresponding to two different methods.

System config area:  Read only on startup
Per-map w/naming like the map:  Read each time you enable a map

I've so far been experimenting with the 2nd method with OSM, where I
have washington_*.dbf and washington_*.dbfawk to go with it.  I can
see changes quickly that way.

If I don't see changes for some reason I can always restart Xastir
and then see them.  I don't know when that becomes necessary but it
seemed I needed to do that every once in a while with my
experiments.  I might have been fooling myself though and it might
have just been errors in my syntax at the time, 'cuz I don't think
any caching goes on for the dbfawk files that are per-map.



Other things I've noticed (maybe previously covered) is that the
Kansas map for example extends into Missouri and the other way
too. Another thing is not all the lines are where they should be.
For example the county line between Platte and Clay counties in
Missouri is off by .5 mile or more.


An OSM problem most likely, not an Xastir one.  I see problems in
Washington already too.  See about updating the OSM database with
the fixes so that everyone benefits.

Here I saw problems with the Canadian border -and- the west border
of Whatcom county, plus a typo:  Insterstate 90 at Snoqualmie
Pass.  I'm sure I'll find more as I play.  If someone who's familiar
with OSM knows the easiest method for updating the database, please
let all of us know.

Well, you don't update the database per se.  You edit the map and submit your 
changes.

The first thing you need to do is create an OSM editor account.  This 
identifies you as a person who wishes/chooses to edit the maps.

Go here, and click sign up in the top right corner.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/

The easiest way to edit the data is probably the Flash-based browser editor 
called Potlatch.  Log in to OSM using the account you just created...

(Go here, and click on log in in the top right corner.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/)

...then move the map to the area you are interested in.  At the top of the map 
is a tab marked Edit.  Click on it, then select Edit with save.

Now you can see the lines and points of the vector data in your browser.  They 
are live and editable.  Find the object you wish to change and click on it.  
Its properties will appear in the lower half of the window and are simple 
tag/value pairs.  For the case of a typo, find the tag/value with the typo, 
click on it, fix it and hit enter.  Now hit 'Save' at the bottom right.  
Done!

You might need to wait for a short time for your changes to be propagated 
through the database and various mirrors, but you knew that.

That was a whirlwind guide to editing the data.  I strongly suggest you take 
some time and read the Beginners' Guide in its entirety here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_Guide

Also, if you don't like Flash (and/or don't like Potlatch) then try any of the 
other editors such as JOSM or Merkaartor.

There are two important rules when dabbling with OSM data.

1) Don't copy other maps or data sources.
2) Have fun!

73,

Andrew

The easiest solution is to do what Andrew has already done... get you
to fix it yourself.

I was looking to see if I could find the issues you are trying to
point out, but it is a little difficult to find right where you are
looking at. If you are looking at the OSM map, in the bottom right,
there are a couple links. Hit the permalink, and the URL will change.
Copy the URL, and paste that into a message. Anyone clicking on that
URL link will be taken to the exact view that you were looking at.

Here's a link to Point Roberts.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.9903lon=-123.0332zoom=13layers=00B0FTF

This is the Cycle Map rendering. I chose that since the Cycle Map
rendering shows county outlines. If you look, you can see the county
outline (dotted line) doesn't quite follow the coast line. This is
because there was a bulk import of Tiger data for the USA. As we all
know, the Tiger data is less than perfect. The good thing about OSM is
that anyone can create a user account, and with a little pointing and
clicking, fix the poor Tiger data, and make the OSM map better.

[Xastir] OSM Example DBFAWK File

2010-07-08 Thread Curt, WE7U

On Thu, 8 Jul 2010, James Ewen wrote:


So, you state that you would like to have better looking maps, and you
hate the existing esoteric dbfawk files, but then sum it up by giving
up and just asking someone else to create a dbfawk file that may or
may not make things look the way you like, and even at that not have
the ability to render the final image in a visually pleasing manner?


I haven't had time to look at dbfawk's for OSM Shapefiles (until
just now), but figured somebody would get around to it sooner or
later.  What will happen is this:  Somebody will spend the time to
do it and get Xastir to render the maps.  Somebody else will come
along and say: Why don't the maps look like, or as nice as, the
ones we get online in raster format?.  That has happened with
Tigermaps in the past.

The good news is that I just went here (found the link in an earlier
message to the Xastir list by yours truly):

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles

and downloaded the Cloudmade Shapefiles for North
America/USA/Washington in the form of washington.shapefiles.zip
(at 58.8 MB).  Unzipped into my maps directory, indexed new maps in
Xastir, and I have blazingly fast vector OSM maps in Xastir.  Of
course no labels on anything yet (one of the limitations of
Shapefiles is that there is no standard for the DBF file
order/contents).

So...  With a small amount of time I should be able to run a few
commands like:

 dbfinfo washington_highway.shp | head
Info for washington_highway.shp
4 Columns,  343960 Records in file
   TYPE  string  (20,0)
   NAME  string  (115,0)
 ONEWAY  string  (10,0)
  LANES integer  (11,0)

Then write up a quick dbfawk for each that will display the files in
the correct font size, colors, etc.  dbfinfo is from the
shapelib/contrib directory and I've had that installed for years.

What is needed by any interested parties in doing the same, or
improving the dbfawk work done by others:  Shapelib:
Install  compile, including the contrib area.  Text editor of your
choice.  Simple huh?

Here's Tom's dbfawk tutorial:

http://pages.swcp.com/~russo/shape_web/tutorial.html

and the Xastir Wiki page that I think he's moving it to (the Wiki
link listed in the above tutorial page is wrong):

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:DBFAWK

Included below is the washington_highway.dbfawk file I just
created.  I couldn't get the lanes variable set properly from the
LANES field in the dbf file, so I hard-coded the values.  Perhaps
someone can take this example file, pretty it up a bit, fix the
few problems, and duplicate/extend it for the rest of the Shapefiles
available from the OSM Shapefiles download area.

Have fun, and please remember to contribute you mods back to the
group so that everyone can benefit!

Snagged the cloudmade shapefile.  That looks pretty reasonable here as well.

 I looked at the 2nd site listed on the OSM Shapefiles page and it
 didn't have any U.S. maps, so my choices were more limited.

 It seems to have nearly everything.  What's missing is a polygon
 Shapefile for the ocean, or a Shapefile for the landmasses.  There's
 a lot of water around here and a very irregular coastline.  It's
 nice to know where the land ends and the water begins.
 
 If one or the other Shapefile existed I could fill it in and then
 set the background color appropriately.
 
 Since there's no Shapefile for either I have to rely on the
 coastline and roads to decide which parts are land.

Before I was done I completed  tweaked dbfawk files for each of the

extended to match others in the set and put into the Xastir global

signature for other dbfawks we already have.

I'll try to get this done in the next day or two.  I'm sure they
could use some more tweaking, but they're a start.


Until I get to it, my sample dbfawk's for OSM Cloudmade-version are
here:

http://www.eskimo.com/~archer/cloudmade.tgz

That address may be temporarily unavailable soon as they want money
again and gave me the notice _after_ it had expired.  Get the file
quickly if you're going to get it!  It goes with the Cloudmade
Shapefiles for North America/USA/Washington State.

The other place I would normally upload files crashed yesterday and
the admin is down at the site now repairing it, so perhaps I'll have
another URL shortly if the above URL goes silent.

John:  I made some tweaks since I sent them to you.
