# go-staticmaps
A go (golang) library and command line tool to render static map images using OpenStreetMap tiles.

## What?
go-staticmaps is a golang library that allows you to create nice static map images from OpenStreetMap tiles, along with markers of different size and color, as well as paths and colored areas.

For a Python version with a similar interface, take a look at [py-staticmaps](https://github.com/flopp/py-staticmaps).

go-staticmaps comes with a command line tool called `create-static-map` for use in shell scripts, etc.

## How?

### Installation

Installing go-staticmaps is as easy as

```bash
go get -u github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps
```

For the command line tool, use
```bash
go get -u github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps/create-static-map
```

Of course, your local Go installation must be setup up properly.

### Library Usage

Create a 400x300 pixel map with a red marker:

```go
package main

import (
"image/color"

sm "github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps"
"github.com/fogleman/gg"
"github.com/golang/geo/s2"
)

func main() {
ctx := sm.NewContext()
ctx.SetSize(400, 300)
ctx.AddObject(
sm.NewMarker(
s2.LatLngFromDegrees(52.514536, 13.350151),
color.RGBA{0xff, 0, 0, 0xff},
16.0,
),
)

img, err := ctx.Render()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

if err := gg.SavePNG("my-map.png", img); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
```

See [PkgGoDev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps) for a complete documentation and the source code of the [command line tool](https://github.com/flopp/go-staticmaps/blob/master/create-static-map/create-static-map.go) for an example how to use the package.

### General
The command line interface tries to resemble [Google's Static Maps API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro).
If neither `--bbox`, `--center`, nor `--zoom` are given, the map extent is determined from the specified markers, paths and areas.

`--background` lets you specify a color used for map areas that are not covered by map tiles (areas north of 85°/south of -85°).

### Markers
The `--marker` option defines one or more map markers of the same style. Use multiple `--marker` options to add markers of different styles.

--marker MARKER_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

`LATLNG` is a comma separated pair of latitude and longitude, e.g. `52.5153,13.3564`.

`MARKER_STYLES` consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character `|`:

- `color:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: `red`)
- `size:SIZE` - where `SIZE` is one of `mid`, `small`, `tiny`, or some number > 0 (default: `mid`)
- `label:LABEL` - where `LABEL` is an alpha numeric character, i.e. `A`-`Z`, `a`-`z`, `0`-`9`; (default: no label)
- `labelcolor:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: `black` or `white`, depending on the marker color)

Using the `--imagemarker` option, you can use custom images as markers:

--imagemarker image:IMAGEFILE|offsetx:OFFSETX|offsety:OFFSETY|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

`IMAGEFILE` is the file name of a PNG or JPEG file,

`OFFSETX` and `OFFSETY` are the pixel offsets of the reference point from the top-left corner of the image.

### Paths
The `--path` option defines a path on the map. Use multiple `--path` options to add multiple paths to the map.

--path PATH_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

or

--path PATH_STYLES|gpx:my_gpx_file.gpx

`PATH_STYLES` consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character `|`:

- `color:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: `red`)
- `weight:WEIGHT` - where `WEIGHT` is the line width in pixels (defaut: `5`)

### Areas
The `--area` option defines a closed area on the map. Use multiple `--area` options to add multiple areas to the map.

--area AREA_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

`AREA_STYLES` consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character `|`:

- `color:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: `red`)
- `weight:WEIGHT` - where `WEIGHT` is the line width in pixels (defaut: `5`)
- `fill:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: none)

### Circles
The `--circles` option defines one or more circles of the same style. Use multiple `--circle` options to add circles of different styles.

--circle CIRCLE_STYLES|LATLNG|LATLNG|...

`LATLNG` is a comma separated pair of latitude and longitude, e.g. `52.5153,13.3564`.

`CIRCLE_STYLES` consists of a set of style descriptors separated by the pipe character `|`:

- `color:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: `red`)
- `fill:COLOR` - where `COLOR` is either of the form `0xRRGGBB`, `0xRRGGBBAA`, or one of `black`, `blue`, `brown`, `green`, `orange`, `purple`, `red`, `yellow`, `white` (default: no fill color)
- `radius:RADIUS` - where `RADIUS` is te circle radius in meters (default: `100.0`)
- `weight:WEIGHT` - where `WEIGHT` is the line width in pixels (defaut: `5`)

## Examples

### Basic Maps

Centered at "N 52.514536 E 13.350151" with zoom level 10:

```bash
$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map1.png -c "52.514536,13.350151" -z 10
```
![Example 1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flopp/flopp.github.io/master/go-staticmaps/map1.png)

A map with a marker at "N 52.514536 E 13.350151" with zoom level 14 (no need to specify the map's center - it is automatically computed from the marker(s)):

```bash
$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map2.png -z 14 -m "52.514536,13.350151"
```

![Example 2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flopp/flopp.github.io/master/go-staticmaps/map2.png)

A map with two markers (red and green). If there are more than two markers in the map, a *good* zoom level can be determined automatically:

```bash
$ create-static-map --width 600 --height 400 -o map3.png -m "color:red|52.514536,13.350151" -m "color:green|52.516285,13.377746"
```

### Create a map of the Berlin Marathon

--output "berlin-marathon.png" \
--path "color:blue|weight:2|gpx:berlin-marathon.gpx"
