I am working on an online map with MapLibre. The basemap contains 3D buildings. However, these are transparent. You can see other layers through the buildings. Perhaps this can be seen in the screenshot.
The basemap is from basemap.de / @BKG.

Is there a way to remove the transparency?

The #python #matplotlib #basemap module is now fully back on track, and the deprecation warning on their documentation page was removed. Congrats to the maintainer.

Python has now once again two major map-plotting libraries: #basemap and #cartopy.

Have you ever needed to download an insanely large #AGIS #basemap as a #png?

Maybe you need to make a print of a map on your AGIS server, but no longer have the original. Or maybe you want a really hi-res image for a film zoom effect.

Here's a tool to do just that.

It uses your public facing AGIS MapServer endpoint to download each tile, then assembles them into one large PNG image.

Offline #VectorTilePackage .vtpk in #QGIS

Starting from 3.26, QGIS now supports #vtpk (Vector Tile Package) files out of the box!

This is great news, particularly for users from #Austria, since this makes it possible to use the @datagvat open government #basemap.at vector tiles directly, without any fuss: …

http://anitagraser.com/2023/12/15/offline-vector-tile-package-vtpk-in-qgis/

Hey #gischat!

I am trying to find a dataset (vector or tiled image, doesn't matter) that represents the web mercator map tile index, with the tile identifier labelled or as attributes or something.

I am generating tiles for a #basemap, and I can see in the output that certain tiles had an error, they're blank white. I want to zoom to the area and regenerate *only* those tiles. But without knowing where, say 15/8318/12229 actually *is*, I can't see an easy way to do it.

@EL_Uatu @ruthpozuelo if you know the lat/lon of each of you crime "cell", and the projection information to go from x/y to lat/lon you can use #pyresample (from the #pytroll ecosystem).

That's what I use for plotting satelitte and weather data. But #cartopy or #basemap can probably do the transform for you if the ony thing you want is plotting.

@lavergnetho
And out of a personal interest , is anyone moving back to #basemap now you know it is “alive”, and if so why or why not?
I am curious to know which one #matplotlib will recommend to use. We should ask that @lavergnetho

#ICYMI

Last night, @ruthpozuelo and I found out that #Basemap (the legacy map plotting module of #python) was not dead after all, and that a small team of developers are taking care of it.

This can be of interest for those of you that have not fully transitioned to #Cartopy yet (I have).

https://fediscience.org/@lavergnetho/109428972365252890

@ruthpozuelo

Sure. I deal with operational, near-real-time applications that should be up-and-running 24/7. I cannot rely on non-maintained modules that will not install out-of-the-box (e.g. on recent #python3).

Thus, I was pushed from #Basemap to #Cartopy. Now I like it there, and I like the seamless integration with matplotlib and #pyresample (another tool I use a lot).

So essentially I moved already and will not turn back even if a small team now carries Basemap further.
