Hi guys,
See the following email for a new interesting service provided by a French
OSM developer.
Some example Philippine-related images generated using the service:
Palawan : http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/get_image.py?id=1506669¶ms=0
Metro Manila :
http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/get_image.py?id=147488¶ms=0

Hi,
I have put into production a website to generate various outputs from
OSM relations, by taking into account inclusion of other relations. It
is available at:
http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/
What it can do:
- generate whole geometry from an OSM relation ID, with handling of
sub-relations - this works especially well with the recursive French
model for administrative relations, and can be used as a sanity check.
- generate simplified geometries, even bigger or smaller - this is
useful to cut a .osm file with a good .poly file.
- export WKT, .poly, GeoJSON, or even a picture.
- import a user .poly file, and then do an Union from an OSM relation.
I used this to fix some polygons used for Geofabrik extracts.
A few examples:
OSM relation for Corsica:
http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/?id=76910
http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/get_image.py?id=76910¶ms=0.020000-0.005000-0.005000
Same thing for France (image is a little longer to generate)
http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/?id=1362232
Union of Geofabrik and OSM relation for PACA, a french region:
http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/get_image.py?id=8654¶ms=0.020000-0.005000-0.005000&name=provence-alpes-cote-d-azur_5k3mbx
(you can see that some part of the region were missing from the yellow
polygon)
The source code is available at:
https://github.com/jocelynj/osm-polygons-generation
This uses an osmosis database, containing the whole word, and some
Postgis functions. If you have any suggestion, don't hesitate to propose
them !
Thanks,
Jocelyn
