  5. Shared concepts

    Layer (the styles applies to)

    Rules

    Filters/selectors (what should be painted)

    Scale dependencies (zoomed in, zoomed out?)

    Symbolizers (how should it be painted)

    Point

    Line

    Polygon

    Text

  6. Styled Layer Descriptor 1.0 and 11

    The only OGC styling standard

    XML based, verbose, hard to hand edit

    Was meant for machine export but ended
    up being edited a lot by hand

    Autocomplete in the style editor

    Can be generated by external tools and
    imported

    However interoperability is limited

    Often needs to be hand tweaked

  7. SLD 1.0 example





    type
    alpine_hut


    100000.0



    xlink:type="simple"
    xlink:href="symbols/alpinehut.p.16.png"/>
    image/png





    Filter
    Scale dep.
    Symbolizer

  8. YSLD

    SLD in YAML syntax

    Filtering by CQL

    Can define reusable variables and blocks

    Verbosity it’s between SLD and CSS

    Has a notion of zoom levels, if needed
    feature-styles:
    - rules:
    - filter: type = 'alpine_hut'
    scale: (,100000.0)
    symbolizers:
    - point:
    symbols:
    - external:
    url: symbols/alpinehut.p.16.png
    format: image/png

  9. GeoCSS

    Compact syntax, familiar for web developers

    CQL based filtering, rule nesting and cascading
    keeps complex styling compact (you just
    express the overrides to the base)

    Autocomplete in the style editor

    Does not get any more compact than this:

    Cons: some are confused by “rule cascading”
    → can now be turned off
    [type = 'alpine_hut'][@sd < 100k] {
    mark: url('symbols/alpinehut.p.16.png');
    }

  10. MBStyles (aka MapBox GL)

    JSON based, designed for GUI editing (like
    SLD) instead of hand editing

    Only Web Mercator zoom level based scale
    control

    Symbols coming from “sprites” (symbol
    collections)

    Unlike others, no styling extensions

    No rendering transformations

    Limited expressions usage

    Pro: can be applied both on the client side and
    the server side

  12. What’s next

    Going to explore styling concepts

    Languages used in examples

    SLD 1.0 + GS extensions

    YSLD

    GeoCSS
    YSLD
    SLD
    CSS

  13. Scale dependencies
    13

    View Slide

  14. Types of Scale dependency

    Decide whether to symbolize based on the scale or not

    E.g., at lower scales/lower zoom levels do not show buildings

    Symbolize in a different way depending on the scale

    E.g., different thickness based on the current zoom
    14
    FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest

    View Slide

  15. Expressing scale dependency filters

    SLD:


    1000



    1000000


    CSS

    [@sd > 1k][@sd < 1M]

    Compact expression of large numbers makes them
    readable at a glance, e.g., 100k, 1M

    YSLD:

    scale: (1000, 1000000)

    scale: (1e3, 1e6)

    zoom: (8, 16)
    grid:
    name: WGS84
    15
    FOSS4G 2019, August 26th/30th, Bucharest

  16. Unit of Measure

    Useful if you have real world measures of line
    thicknesses and the like



    #0000FF
    5


    ...

    stroke: blue;
    stroke-width: 5m;

    line:
    stroke-color: '#0000FF'
    uom: metre;
    stroke-width: '5';
    SLD
    YSLD
    CSS

  17. Transformation functions

    Another way of setting a different value
    depending on the current scale/zoom level

    Useful if the scaling is not linear
    [class = 'highway’
    and type in ('motorway’,
    'motorway_link’)]
    [@sd < 25M] {
    stroke: #e66e89;
    stroke-width: categorize(@sd,
    2, 400k,
    1.9, 800k,
    1.4, 1.5M,
    1, 3M,
    0.8, 6M,
    0.5);

    Less than 400k → 2px

    [400k, 800k] → 1.9px

    [800k, 1.5M] → 1.4px

    [1.5M, 3M] → 1

    [3M, 6M] → 0.8

    Above 6M -> 0.5
    CSS

    :nth-mark(2) { fill: #576ddf };
    mark-size: 10, 3;
    };
    [@sd < 3k] {
    mark: symbol('file://symbols/fountain.svg');
    :mark { fill: #576ddf; };
    }
    }

  23. Many other options!

    Built-in symbol names (well known marks): circle,
    square, triangle, …

    From TTF fonts using the name
    ttf://#charcode

    Windbarbs, e.g.:
    windbarbs://default(15)[kts]

    WKT specification, e.g.
    wkt://MULTIPOLYGON(((-0.25 -0.25, -0.125 -0.25), (0.125 -0.25,
    0.25 -0.25)), (-0.25 0.25, -0.125 0.25), (0.125 0.25, 0.25
