master.makefile (0%)

edit

Action: When run, this master.makefile runs other layer-specialized sub-makefiles. These sub-makefiles download the GIS sources, process them, output topojson file(s) which nodejs, jsdom, and D3js code can convert into stand alone SVGs.

master.makefile
Example
cd ./home/.../wikimaps/
make -f master.makefile WEST=-5.8 NORTH=51.5 EAST=10.0 SOUTH=41.0 ITEM=France

Parameters:

  • WEST=... : Western most longitude value of the frame to map. Accept integer between 90.0⁰ & -90.0⁰.
  • NORTH=... : Northern most latitude value ————. ————.
  • EAST=... : Eastern most longitude value ————. ————.
  • SOUTH= ... : Southern most latitude value ————. ————.
  • ITEM= ... : name of the target/central geographic item, according to Natural_Earth spelling.

shadedrelief.makefile (100%)

edit

Action: When run, this shadedrelief.makefile download the raster GIS DEM sources, process them (unzip, crop, shaded relief, resize), to output an elegant shaded relief png (current) or topojson/svg.

To do:
1. resize the png to have suitable dimensions.
2. generate a transparent-to-black version
3. generate a white to black version
4. generate a shape-topojson version.
