# prettymaps

A minimal Python library to draw customized maps from [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/11.0733/106.3078) 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.

# Installation

### Install locally:
Install prettymaps with:

```
pip install prettymaps
```

### Install on Google Colaboratory:

Install prettymaps with:

```
!pip install -e "git+https://github.com/marceloprates/prettymaps#egg=prettymaps"
```

Then **restart the runtime** (Runtime -> Restart Runtime) before importing prettymaps

# Run front-end

After prettymaps is installed, you can run the front-end (streamlit) application from the prettymaps repository using:
```
streamlit run prettymaps/app.py
```

# 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
%reload_ext autoreload
%autoreload 2

import prettymaps

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


    
![png](README_files/README_7_0.png)
    


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

See below an example using the "minimal" preset


```python
import prettymaps

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


    
![png](README_files/README_9_0.png)
    


Run

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

to list all available presets:


```python
import prettymaps

prettymaps.presets()
```

To examine a specific preset, run:


```python
import prettymaps

prettymaps.preset('default')
```




    Preset(params={'layers': {'perimeter': {}, 'streets': {'width': {'motorway': 5, 'trunk': 5, 'primary': 4.5, 'secondary': 4, 'tertiary': 3.5, 'cycleway': 3.5, 'residential': 3, 'service': 2, 'unclassified': 2, 'pedestrian': 2, 'footway': 1}}, 'waterway': {'tags': {'waterway': ['river', 'stream']}, 'width': {'river': 20, 'stream': 10}}, 'building': {'tags': {'building': True, 'landuse': 'construction'}}, 'water': {'tags': {'natural': ['water', 'bay']}}, 'sea': {}, 'forest': {'tags': {'landuse': 'forest'}}, 'green': {'tags': {'landuse': ['grass', 'orchard'], 'natural': ['island', 'wood', 'wetland'], 'leisure': 'park'}}, 'rock': {'tags': {'natural': 'bare_rock'}}, 'beach': {'tags': {'natural': 'beach'}}, 'parking': {'tags': {'amenity': 'parking', 'highway': 'pedestrian', 'man_made': 'pier'}}}, 'style': {'perimeter': {'fill': False, 'lw': 0, 'zorder': 0}, 'background': {'fc': '#F2F4CB', 'zorder': -1}, 'green': {'fc': '#8BB174', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'hatch_c': '#A7C497', 'hatch': 'ooo...', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 1}, 'forest': {'fc': '#64B96A', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 2}, 'water': {'fc': '#a8e1e6', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'hatch_c': '#9bc3d4', 'hatch': 'ooo...', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 99}, 'sea': {'fc': '#a8e1e6', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'hatch_c': '#9bc3d4', 'hatch': 'ooo...', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 99}, 'waterway': {'fc': '#a8e1e6', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'hatch_c': '#9bc3d4', 'hatch': 'ooo...', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 200}, 'beach': {'fc': '#FCE19C', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'hatch_c': '#d4d196', 'hatch': 'ooo...', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 3}, 'parking': {'fc': '#F2F4CB', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 3}, 'streets': {'fc': '#2F3737', 'ec': '#475657', 'alpha': 1, 'lw': 0, 'zorder': 4}, 'building': {'palette': ['#433633', '#FF5E5B'], 'ec': '#2F3737', 'lw': 0.5, 'zorder': 5}, 'rock': {'fc': '#BDC0BA', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 6}}, 'circle': None, 'radius': 500})




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
import prettymaps

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
import prettymaps

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


    
![png](README_files/README_17_0.png)
    


You can access layers's GeoDataFrames directly like this:


```python
import prettymaps

# 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']
```

Plot mosaic of building footprints


```python
import prettymaps
import numpy as np
import osmnx as ox
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# 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'
)
# 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
import prettymaps

plot = prettymaps.plot(
    (41.39491,2.17557),
    preset = 'barcelona',
    show = False # We don't want to render the map yet
)

# Change background color
plot.fig.patch.set_facecolor('#F2F4CB')
# Add title
_ = plot.ax.set_title(
    'Barcelona',
    font = 'serif',
    size = 50
)
```

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


```python
import prettymaps

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
import prettymaps

plot = prettymaps.plot(
    'Barra da Tijuca',
    dilate = 0,
    figsize = (22,10),
    preset = 'tijuca',
    adjust_aspect_ratio = False
)
```

Use prettymaps.create_preset() to create a preset:


```python
import prettymaps

prettymaps.create_preset(
    "my-preset",
    layers = {
        "building": {
            "tags": {
                "building": True,
                "leisure": [
                    "track",
                    "pitch"
                ]
            }
        },
        "streets": {
            "width": {
                "trunk": 6,
                "primary": 6,
                "secondary": 5,
                "tertiary": 4,
                "residential": 3.5,
                "pedestrian": 3,
                "footway": 3,
                "path": 3
            }
        },
    },
    style = {
        "perimeter": {
            "fill": False,
            "lw": 0,
            "zorder": 0
        },
        "streets": {
            "fc": "#F1E6D0",
            "ec": "#2F3737",
            "lw": 1.5,
            "zorder": 3
        },
        "building": {
            "palette": [
                "#fff"
            ],
            "ec": "#2F3737",
            "lw": 1,
            "zorder": 4
        }
    }
)

prettymaps.preset('my-preset')
```




    Preset(params={'layers': {'building': {'tags': {'building': True, 'leisure': ['track', 'pitch']}}, 'streets': {'width': {'trunk': 6, 'primary': 6, 'secondary': 5, 'tertiary': 4, 'residential': 3.5, 'pedestrian': 3, 'footway': 3, 'path': 3}}}, 'style': {'perimeter': {'fill': False, 'lw': 0, 'zorder': 0}, 'streets': {'fc': '#F1E6D0', 'ec': '#2F3737', 'lw': 1.5, 'zorder': 3}, 'building': {'palette': ['#fff'], 'ec': '#2F3737', 'lw': 1, 'zorder': 4}}, 'circle': None, 'radius': None, 'dilate': None})



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


```python
import prettymaps

# Draw several regions on the same canvas
plot = 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',
        layers = {'building': {'tags': {'building': True}}},
        style={'building': {'palette': ['#EEE4E1', '#E7D8C9', '#E6BEAE']}}
    ),
    # Load a global preset
    preset='cb-bf-f',
    # Figure size
    figsize=(12, 12)
)
```

# Add hillshade


```python
plot = prettymaps.plot(
    'Honolulu',
    radius = 5500,
    figsize = 'a4',
    layers = {'hillshade': {
        'azdeg': 315,
        'altdeg': 45,
