Hello,
Following on from last weeks discussion about extracting polygons from
the weekly planet.osm I've derived a new Perl script form Frederiks
original. New Features are:
- Takes input from a text file defining a polygon or polygons as a
sequence of longitudes and latitudes.
- Can optionally reduce the number of points in a polygon to improve
performance, at the expense of accuracy.
- Can read the planet.osm from STDIN or a file.
- Can output to a specified file or to STDOUT.
You can download the script from:
http://www.passback.co.uk/maps/extract-polygon.pl
and an example polygon file (GB and Ireland again):
http://www.passback.co.uk/maps/gb-irl.poly
I would appreciate it if people could try this out and let me know if it
works, and is accurate! If people think this is valuable I would like
to create directory in SVN for both the script and a collection of
polygon files, I am happy to oversee this. I would also like to create
a Wiki page describing the script usage and polygon files.
Comments?
Keith.
