[OSM-talk] Open Rail Map?

2008-04-11 Thread Sfan00

The following two links are the intended start of an Open Rail map based
on railway way and node data held in OSM :

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/User:ShakespeareFan00/OpenRailMap
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/User:ShakespeareFan00/TagSpew/Rail

Comments and developmental assiatnce would be welcomed, as would addtions
to the database lists that are being built of independent lines...

There's already a field for radius, it's just not used at all ;-)

Slightly offtopic here but since we're at this... for experimenting, I 
have created a current_nodes table with an extra "point" column and 
matching spatial index (after converting it all to MyISAM and issuing a 
heartbreakingly ugly statement that somehow textually concatenated the 
existing lat/lon values to feed them into some function expecting WKT).

However I somehow fail to be able to use this column in any kind of 
bounding box query:

mysql> set @bbox='polygon(8 50,8 51,9 51,9 50,8 50)';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select count(*) from current_nodes where Intersects(pt, 
GeomFromText(@bbox));
+--+
| count(*) |
+--+
|0 |
+--+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

But as you see, there are nodes that should match:

mysql> select AsText(pt) from current_nodes limit 10;
++
| AsText(pt) |
++
| POINT(8.3024 50.136)   |
...

I then played around with various functions and found them all wanting:

mysql> set @point='point(8.5 50.5)';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select Contains(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point));
+-+
| Contains(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point)) |
+-+
|NULL |
+-+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select @bbox;
+---+
| @bbox |
+---+
| polygon(8 50,8 51,9 51,9 50,8 50) |
+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select @point;
+-+
| @point  |
+-+
| point(8.5 50.5) |
+-+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select Disjoint(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point));
+-+
| Disjoint(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point)) |
+-+
|NULL |
+-+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select Intersects(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point));
+---+
| Intersects(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point)) |
+---+
|  NULL |
+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select Overlaps(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point));
+-+
| Overlaps(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point)) |
+-+
|NULL |
+-+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select Within(GeomFromText(@bbox), GeomFromText(@point));

At least ONE of these should have returned a non-NULL value... I must be 
doing something wrong at a very elementary level. Can someone tell me 
what it is?

Could be configurable in your account preferences - "maximum number of

Not usefully it couldn't. The users table is an InnoDB table and
you can't have geo indexes on point columns in Inno tables.

It doesn't matter though as there are so few users it isn't an
issue at the moment, and when it is we can always tile them like
the other tables with geo coords.

Re: [OSM-talk] Local map making - truncating ways on boundary?

2008-04-11 Thread Martin Vidner
[reposting from the correct address]

Hi Simon,

 when rendering via osmarender xslt, the "bounds" tag clips the output
 on a bounding box.
 A whole example for local map rendering is at
  http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~martin/misc/osm/
 see generic-osmarender for using the bounds.

 BTW there is also a crude patch in the direcroty to make one-way
 arrows red and to render RCN cycleways. Any comments are appreciated.

Yes: I could easily use CURL to get the info.

Also, allowing the currently hardcoded number 10 in the user page to be 
user-settable would also be a very simple way to extend what is already 
there.

I don't have it in pseudocode, but one I've heard of casts a ray (horizontal
is common) out from the point being tested and then checks the intersection
of that ray against each segment of the polygon. If the total number of
intersections is odd, then the point lies inside the polygon. If the number
is even, then it's outside. This works for holes in a polygon, too.

Not currently but I think this would make a nice API feature, I've had
the same wish when organising mapping parties in the past.

We're using MySQL 5.*, so the current lat, lon field in the user table
could be migrated to a geometry point column to allow bbox queries of
users.

David: if there was an API call to get all the users from a bbox,
would it solve the problem?

I find this a pain too. I regularly have to temporarily shift my location so
that I can find out if any new users have cropped up in the wider Birmingham
area in order to make contact, say hello, and tell them what's going on
related to OSM that they might be interested in. 

Obviously the list length has to stop somewhere, so perhaps it would be
better to display the 10 closest to the centre of the map as displayed
(which by default is your home location initially).

[OSM-talk] osmxapi/bbox question

2008-04-11 Thread Johan Huysmans
Hi All,

I' experimenting with osmxapi to get a list of all places in Belgium.
Getting a list of all places is no problem, but the list is a bit too 
large ;)

Can I specify that I only want the places in Belgium? Can this be done 
with bbox?

Is there a known mapping that give you the exact bbox for each country?

Re: [OSM-talk] Cycleway byway

2008-04-11 Thread Dave Stubbs
If you download the .osm file for the relation using your web
browser/wget or similar:
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/relation/9327

or if you want all of the current ways and nodes too:
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/relation/9327/full

then load the file with JOSM.
You can then do a standard bbox download with JOSM and you will be
able to add to it.
It's a bit of a hack, but it should work.

What goes wrong if you download a small area containing an existing  
part of the byway in addition to your home area in JOSM?

Alternatively, you could save http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/ 
relation/9327/full as byway.osm and try loading that file into JOSM.

Cheers
Robert

As yet you can't in Potlatch, but I'm hoping to add that as a feature  
very soon.

FWIW, the coastline checker shows countrynames. That way you still had
an idea of where yo uwhere even when the coastlines themselves were
screwed.

Have a nice day,

[OSM-talk] Cycleway byway

2008-04-11 Thread Chris Hill




The national Byway cycle
route passes close to my home, so I'd like to add it to the map.  The
Wiki [1] suggests that I add to the relation 9327.  How do I do this
when the existing parts of the relation are far away so I cannot get
the existing plus the new on either JOSM or Potlatch. Once I have one
local way in the relation it should be easy to add others.  

cheers, Chris
