# CouchDB & Mapnik

## Requirements

 * Couchdb - I tested with CouchDBI Version 1.0.2.0.

 

 * GDAL trunk (>= 1.9.0) with couch support (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_couchdb.html)

 * Mapnik trunk (>= 2.0.0) with OGR plugin (http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/OGR)

 

 * nik2img.py - optionally for easy rendering via command line (http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/Nik2Img)

## TODO

 * Track down the cause of this warning:

```

ERROR 1: FetchNextRowsSpatialFilter() failed : not_found, missing handler: _spatial

```

 * Add support for geocouch (which will likely remove the above warning)

## Usage

Create a couch document for a given shapefile:

    ogr2ogr -lco UPDATE_PERMISSIONS=ALL -f couchdb couchdb:http://127.0.0.1:5984 world_merc.shp

Then query the document to make sure the geojson is in there:

    ogrinfo couchdb:http://127.0.0.1:5984/ -so -al world_merc

You should get:

```

$ ogrinfo couchdb:http://127.0.0.1:5984/ -so -al world_merc

INFO: Open of `couchdb:http://127.0.0.1:5984/'

      using driver `CouchDB' successful.

Then try rendering with nik2img:

    # install first

    sudo easy_install nik2img

    

    # then render

    nik2img.py couchmap.xml world.png
