A Mapnik implemention of Mapbox Vector Tile specification.
Provides C++ headers that support rendering geodata into vector tiles and rendering vector tiles into images.
- Master:
- 0.6.x series:
- mapnik-vector-tile >=0.7.x depends on Mapnik v3.0.x (until 3.0.0 is released this means latest mapnik HEAD)
- mapnik-vector-tile 0.6.x and previous work with Mapnik v2.2.x or v2.3.x
- You will need
libmapnikandmapnik-configavailable - Protobuf:
libprotobufandprotoc
Vector tiles in this code represent a direct serialization of Mapnik layers optimized for space efficient storage and fast deserialization. For those familiar with the Mapnik API vector tiles here can be considered a named array of mapnik::featureset_ptr whose geometries have been pre-tiled.
For more details see vector-tile-spec.
sudo apt-get install -y libprotobuf7 libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
sudo apt-add-repository --yes ppa:mapnik/nightly-2.3
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get -y install libmapnik=2.3.0* mapnik-utils=2.3.0* libmapnik-dev=2.3.0* mapnik-input-plugin*=2.3.0*
brew install protobuf
brew install mapnik
Just type:
make
This builds the protobuf C++ wrappers: vector_tile.pb.cc and vector_tile.pb.h
Then include vector_tile.pb.cc in your code. The rest is header only.
Run the C++ tests like:
make test
