OK, I've just pushed the code on repo.or.cz:

http://repo.or.cz/w/osm-map-evolution.git

but be warned there are many hardcoded things (though can be configured
or easily modified).


The main ideas:
- the planet files are stored in a git repo (in another branch than
master - the scripts warn about this and give advice)
- the generation of the maps is currently tailored to focus on Caracal,
my home town where I was the author of he huge majority of changes; it
would be nice if this was configurable by an external file, but I expect
patches - you can commit anonymously in the mob branch :-)
- the generation can go back from the most recent version of the planet
file in the "planet repo" down to a date or down a certain number of commits
- mapnik is used for generation and the database configuration stuff
surely needs checking
- the main script is "gen_dated_maps" which in turn calls "gen_map" -
gen_map is the rename of gen_map_Caracal and should be the generic
version of the map generator
- the images are created in a ne directory _maps, and can be added an
optional time stamp


I haven't managed to make a script to generate an animated movie of the
evolution, but I did managed to make manually a movie/clip from the
resulted images. I also welcome suggestions for this (and I'll come with
more info on this).


Any suggestions and patches are welcome!

I'm resending this: Thank you all for your answers. David, how did you
display a historical map manually, and more generally, how can someone check
the state of a region at a certain point in time (much like Wikipedia's
History page)?. Eddy I would be great of you could post your code, I'd like
to check it.

How to get Croatia and two of best mapped cities (Zagreb and Osijek) in 
Croatia in selection box?

Can you please add Croatia and cities of Zagreb and Osijek?

Cheers!

I've done something primitive based on some shell scripting and the
mapnik render; the code isn't published yet, but I can publish it, if
you want.

I'd be interested too, since I've been doing this manually (screenshot +
alignment + animation in GIMP) since some time (but I stopped doing it a bit
ago).

[OSM-talk] Evolution of a map

2009-09-17 Thread Habib Habib
Hi guys,

Is there a tool which shows the evolution of a region in time (i.e. show how
the number of ways, points changed and increased in a period of time), as an
animated slide, or as a series of map tiles each taken at a different point
in time? Has it been written yet? Thank you
