SVGIS
-----

Create SVG drawings from vector geodata files (SHP, geoJSON, etc).

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw input.shp -o out.svg
    svgis draw south_dakota.shp south_dakota.geojson -o dakota.svg

Install
-------

Requires `fiona <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fiona>`__, which in turn
requires GDAL.

Before installing, run the following on OS X: ``brew install gdal``. On
Linux: ``sudo apt-get -qq install -y libgdal1-dev``.

Command line tools
------------------

The ``svgis`` command line tool has four commands: ``draw``,
``project``, ``scale`` and ``style``. ``Svgis scale`` and
``svgis style`` will add a scaling factor or CSS style to an existing
SVG file. ``Svgis project`` is a utility for printing the projection
that ``svgis draw`` will generate for given bounding boxes.

The main command is ``svgis draw``, which generates SVGs from input
geodata.

svgis draw
~~~~~~~~~~

--bounds
^^^^^^^^

Takes four arguments in min-lon, min-lat, max-lon, max-lat order.

This example draw the portion of the input file between latitudes 40 and
41 and longitudes -74 and -73 (roughly the New York City area).

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --bounds -74 40 -73 41 in.geojson out.svg

Note that coordinates are given in longitude, latitude order, since in
the world of the computer, it's better to be consistent with things like
(x, y) order.

--scale
^^^^^^^

A integer scale factor. The map will be scaled by the inverse of this
number.

While SVG is a vector format, clients may have trouble handling very
large numbers. Use the scale option to scale down the output. Dimensions
in the map will be divided by this number (so larger numbers yield
smaller coordinates in the output SVG).

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --scale 1000 in.shp -o out.svg

--project
^^^^^^^^^

The project argument accept a particular projection or a keyword that
helps SVGIS pick a projection for you.

-  `EPSG <http://epsg.io>`__ code
-  Proj4 string
-  Either the 'utm' or 'local' keyword

The the flag isn't, SVGIS will check to see if the file is already in
non lat-lng projection (e.g. a state plane system or the British
National Grid). If the first input file is projected, that projection
will be used for the output. If the first file is in lat-long
coordinates, a local projection will be generated, just like if
``--projection-method=local`` was given.

This example will draw an svg with `EPSG:2908 <http://epsg.io/2908>`__,
the New York Long Island state plane projection:

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --project EPSG:2908 nyc.shp -o nyc.svg

This example uses a Proj.4 string to draw with the `North America Albers
Equal Area Conic <http://epsg.io/102008>`__ projection, which doesn't
have an EPSG code.

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw in.shp -o out.svg \
        --project "+proj=aea +lat_1=20 +lat_2=60 +lat_0=40 +lon_0=-96 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs"

With the ``utm`` keyword, SVGIS attempts to draw coordinates in the
local UTM projection. The centerpoint of the bounding box will be used
to pick the zone. Expect poor results for input data that crosses
several UTM boundaries.

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --project utm in.shp -o out.svg

When the local argument is given, SVGIS will generate a Transverse
Mercator projection that centers on the input bounding box. This
generally gives good results for an region roughly the size of a large
urban area.

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --project local input.shp -o out.svg
    svgis draw -j local input.shp -o out.svg

To properly convert the input coordinate, svgis needs to know your input
projection. If the input file doesn't specify an internal projection,
SVGIS will assume that the coordinates are given in
`WGS84 <http://epsg.io/4326>`__.

--style
^^^^^^^

The style parameter takes either a CSS file or a CSS string.

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --style style.css in.shp -o out.svg
    svgis draw --style "line { stroke: green; }" in.shp -o out.svg

--padding
^^^^^^^^^

Adds a padding around the output image. Accepts an integer in svg units.

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --padding 100 in.shp -o out.svg

--no-viewbox
^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, SVGIS uses a viewbox. If you have a problem opening the
created svg file in your drawing program (e.g. Adobe Illustrator), try
the '--no-viewbox' option, which will create an svg where the contents
are translated into the frame.

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --no-viewbox in.shp -o out.svg
    svgis draw -x in.shp -o out.svg

--class-fields and --id-field
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Use these options to specify fields in the source geodata file to use to
determine the class or id attributes of the output SVG features. In the
output fields, spaces will be replaced with underscores.

For example, the `Natural Earth
admin\_0 <http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vectors/>`__
file contains nation polygons, and includes ``continent``,
``income_grp`` and ``name`` fields:

.. code:: bash

    svgis draw --class-fields continent,income_grp --id-field name ne_110m_admin_0_countries.shp -o out.svg

The result will include something like:

::

    <g id="ne_110m_admin_0_countries">
        <g class="ne_110m_admin_0_countries continent_Asia income_grp_5_Low_income" id="Afghanistan">/* Afghanistan */</g>
        <g class="ne_110m_admin_0_countries continent_Africa income_grp_3_Upper_middle_income" id="Angola">/* Angola */</g>
        /* ... */
        <g class="ne_110m_admin_0_countries continent_Africa income_grp_5_Low_income" id="Zimbabwe">/* Zimbabwe */</g>
    </g>

The name of a layer (``ne_110m_admin_0_countries``) will always be in
the classes of its child elements. This makes writing CSS that addresses
particular layers easier, given that some implementations of SVG don't
properly css rules with ids (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, ImageMagick).

Note that the 'income\_grp' field contains values like "4. Lower middle
income", SVGIS has sanitized them for use in the output svg.

Each layer is always wrapped in a group (``<g>``) with id equal to the
name of its source layer.

Draw the outline of the contiguous United States, projected in Albers:

    curl -O http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2014/shp/cb_2014_us_nation_20m.zip
    unzip cb_2014_us_nation_20m.zip
    svgis draw --project EPSG:5070 --scale 1000 --bounds -124 20.5 -64 49 cb_2014_us_nation_20m.shp -o us.svg
