Broken Map Plugin

[jeremiah-k]

GPT4o's rundown of the problem:

Background

• The plugin uses the staticmaps library to render maps with text labels.
• After upgrading to Pillow 10.0.0 or later, the textsize() method, which calculates the size of a text string, was deprecated and removed.
• The staticmaps library relies on textsize() in its pillow_renderer.py file, which causes the AttributeError when the plugin is executed.

Steps Taken

Identified the Root Cause:

• The error was traced to the staticmaps/pillow_renderer.py file, specifically in the render_attribution function.
• The issue is caused by the use of the now-removed textsize() method in Pillow.

Proposed Fix:

A monkeypatch can restore the textsize() method dynamically by wrapping the textbbox() method. This allows existing code to continue functioning without directly modifying the staticmaps library.

import PIL.ImageDraw

def textsize(self, text, font=None, *args, **kwargs):
    bbox = self.textbbox((0, 0), text, font=font, *args, **kwargs)
    width = bbox[2] - bbox[0]
    height = bbox[3] - bbox[1]
    return width, height

# Apply the monkeypatch
PIL.ImageDraw.ImageDraw.textsize = textsize

This patch restores textsize() functionality dynamically at runtime, enabling compatibility with Pillow 10.0.0 or later while keeping the staticmaps library unchanged.

Current Situation

• The plugin is functional except for the error in the staticmaps library.
• The monkeypatch fix reintroduces textsize() dynamically and avoids modifying staticmaps directly.
• Applying this patch should allow the plugin to work correctly with Pillow 10.0.0 or later.

and will update staticmaps when it becomes available and go from there.

I ended up getting it working.
