A simple renderer for OpenStreetMap with python
Roentgen
The idea behind Röntgen project is to have a possibility to display any map feature represented by OpenStreetMap data tags by means of colors, shapes, and icons.
Röntgen is primarily created for OpenStreetMap contributors. Suppose, you spent time adding colors for building walls, benches and shelters for bus stops but they are not represented on the standard tile layer. Röntgen helps to display all changes you made.
Nevertheless, Röntgen map generator can generate precise but messy maps for OSM contributors as well as pretty and clean maps for OSM users.
Usage
To get SVG map, just run
python roentgen.py -b ,,,
(e.g. python roentgen.py -b 2.284,48.86,2.29,48.865
). It will automatically download OSM data and write output map to map.svg
. For more options see Map generation.
