# prettymaps

A Python package to draw maps with customizable styles from [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/11.0733/106.3078) data. Created using the [osmnx](https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx), [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/), [shapely](https://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html) and [vsketch](https://github.com/abey79/vsketch) packages.

# Note about crediting and NFTs:
- Please keep the printed message on the figures crediting my repository and OpenStreetMap ([mandatory by their license](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright)).
- I am personally **against** NFTs for their [environmental impact](https://earth.org/nfts-environmental-impact/), the fact that they're a [giant money-laundering pyramid scheme](https://twitter.com/smdiehl/status/1445795667826208770) and the structural incentives they create for [theft](https://twitter.com/NFTtheft) in the open source and generative art communities.
- **I do not authorize in any way this project to be used for selling NFTs**, although I cannot legally enforce it. **Respect the creator**.
- The [AeternaCivitas](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/aeterna_civitas) and [geoartnft](https://www.geo-nft.com/) projects have used this work to sell NFTs and refused to credit it. See how they reacted after being exposed: [AeternaCivitas](etc/NFT_theft_AeternaCivitas.jpg), [geoartnft](etc/NFT_theft_geoart.jpg).
- **I have closed my other generative art projects on Github and won't be sharing new ones as open source to protect me from the NFT community**.

# Tutorial

Plotting with prettymaps is very simple. Run:
```python
prettymaps.plot(your_query)
```

**your_query** can be:
1. An address (Example: "Porto Alegre"),
2. Latitude / Longitude coordinates (Example: (-30.0324999, -51.2303767))
3. A custom boundary in GeoDataFrame format


```python
import prettymaps

plot = prettymaps.plot('Stad van de Zon, Heerhugowaard, Netherlands')
```


    
![png](README_files/README_6_0.png)
    


You can also choose from different "presets" (parameter combinations saved in JSON files)

See below an example using the "minimal" preset


```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    'Stad van de Zon, Heerhugowaard, Netherlands',
    preset = 'minimal'
)
```


    
![png](README_files/README_8_0.png)
    


Run

```python
prettymaps.presets()
```

to list all available presets:

<div>
<table border="1" class="dataframe">
  <thead>
    <tr style="text-align: right;">
      <th></th>

To examine a specific preset, run:


```python
prettymaps.preset('default')
```

Insted of using the default configuration you can customize several parameters. The most important are:

- layers: A dictionary of OpenStreetMap layers to fetch.
    - Keys: layer names (arbitrary)
    - Values: dicts representing OpenStreetMap queries
- style: Matplotlib style parameters
    - Keys: layer names (the same as before)
    - Values: dicts representing Matplotlib style parameters

```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    # Your query. Example: "Porto Alegre" or (-30.0324999, -51.2303767) (GPS coords)
    your_query,
    # Dict of OpenStreetMap Layers to plot. Example:
    # {'building': {'tags': {'building': True}}, 'water': {'tags': {'natural': 'water'}}}
    # Check the /presets folder for more examples
    layers,
    # Dict of style parameters for matplotlib. Example:
    # {'building': {'palette': ['#f00','#0f0','#00f'], 'edge_color': '#333'}}
    style,
    # Preset to load. Options include:
    # ['default', 'minimal', 'macao', 'tijuca']
    preset,
    # Save current parameters to a preset file.
    # Example: "my-preset" will save to "presets/my-preset.json"
    save_preset,
    # Whether to update loaded preset with additional provided parameters. Boolean
    update_preset,
    # Plot with circular boundary. Boolean
    circle,
    # Plot area radius. Float
    radius,
    # Dilate the boundary by this amount. Float
    dilate
)
```

**plot** is a python dataclass containing:

```python
@dataclass
class Plot:
    # A dictionary of GeoDataFrames (one for each plot layer)
    geodataframes: Dict[str, gp.GeoDataFrame]
    # A matplotlib figure
    fig: matplotlib.figure.Figure
    # A matplotlib axis object
    ax: matplotlib.axes.Axes
```

Here's an example of running prettymaps.plot() with customized parameters:


```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    'Praça Ferreira do Amaral, Macau',
    circle = True,
    radius = 1100,
    layers = {

In order to plot an entire region and not just a rectangular or circular area, set

```python
radius = False
```


```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    'Bom Fim, Porto Alegre, Brasil', radius = False,
)
```

![png](README_files/README_16_0.png)
   
You can access layers's GeoDataFrames directly like this:

```python
# Run prettymaps in show = False mode (we're only interested in obtaining the GeoDataFrames)
plot = prettymaps.plot('Centro Histórico, Porto Alegre', show = False)
plot.geodataframes['building']
```

Search a building by name and display it:


```python
plot.geodataframes['building'][
        plot.geodataframes['building'].name == 'Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora Mãe de Deus'
].geometry[0]
```

Plot mosaic of building footprints


```python
import numpy as np
import osmnx as ox
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties

# Run prettymaps in show = False mode (we're only interested in obtaining the GeoDataFrames)
plot = prettymaps.plot('Porto Alegre', show = False)
# Get list of buildings from plot's geodataframes dict
buildings = plot.geodataframes['building']
# Project from lat / long
buildings = ox.project_gdf(buildings)
buildings = [b for b in buildings.geometry if b.area > 0]

# Draw Matplotlib mosaic of n x n building footprints
n = 6
fig,axes = plt.subplots(n,n, figsize = (7,6))
# Set background color
fig.patch.set_facecolor('#5cc0eb')
# Figure title
fig.suptitle(
    'Buildings of Porto Alegre',
    size = 25,
    color = '#fff',
    fontproperties = FontProperties(fname = '../assets/PermanentMarker-Regular.ttf')
)
# Draw each building footprint on a separate axis
for ax,building in zip(np.concatenate(axes),buildings):
    ax.plot(*building.exterior.xy, c = '#ffffff')
    ax.autoscale(); ax.axis('off'); ax.axis('equal')
```

Access plot.ax or plot.fig to add new elements to the matplotlib plot: 


```python
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties

plot = prettymaps.plot(
    (41.39491,2.17557),
    preset = 'barcelona',
)

# Change background color
plot.fig.patch.set_facecolor('#F2F4CB')
# Add title
plot.ax.set_title(
    'Barcelona',
    fontproperties = FontProperties(
        fname = '../assets/PermanentMarker-Regular.ttf',
        size = 50
    )
)

plt.show()
```

Use **plotter** mode to export a pen plotter-compatible SVG (thanks to abey79's amazing [vsketch](https://github.com/abey79/vsketch) library)


```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    (41.39491,2.17557),
    mode = 'plotter',
    layers = dict(perimeter = {}),
    preset = 'barcelona-plotter',
    scale_x = .6,
    scale_y = -.6,
)
```

Some other examples


```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    # City name
    'Barra da Tijuca',
    dilate = 0,
    figsize = (22,10),
    preset = 'tijuca',
)
```

```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    'Stad van de Zon, Heerhugowaard, Netherlands',
    preset = 'heerhugowaard',
)
```

Use prettymaps.create_preset() to create a preset:


```python
prettymaps.create_preset(

Use prettymaps.delete_preset() to delete presets:


```python
# Show presets before deletion
print('Before deletion:')
display(prettymaps.presets())
# Delete 'my-preset'
prettymaps.delete_preset('my-preset')
# Show presets after deletion
print('After deletion:')
display(prettymaps.presets())
```

    Before deletion:

Use **prettymaps.multiplot** and **prettymaps.Subplot** to draw multiple regions on the same canvas


```python
# Draw several regions on the same canvas
prettymaps.multiplot(
    prettymaps.Subplot(
        'Cidade Baixa, Porto Alegre',
        style={'building': {'palette': ['#49392C', '#E1F2FE', '#98D2EB']}}
    ),
    prettymaps.Subplot(
        'Bom Fim, Porto Alegre',
        style={'building': {'palette': ['#BA2D0B', '#D5F2E3', '#73BA9B', '#F79D5C']}}
    ),
    prettymaps.Subplot(
        'Farroupilha, Porto Alegre',
        style={'building': {'palette': ['#EEE4E1', '#E7D8C9', '#E6BEAE']}}
    ),
    # Load a global preset
    preset='cb-bf-f',
    # Figure size
    figsize=(12, 12)
)

```
