DESCRIPTION

Various software can style maps and generate a proper SLD document for OGC-compliant WMS. However the styling allowed by the graphical tools is often limited and not adequate for good cartographic output. This presentation will provide hints, examples and enough information to master SLD in order to create beautiful maps with GeoServer.

Introduction

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

SLD vs CSS

Styled Layer Descriptor

OGC standard

XML based, verbose, hard to hand edit

Only showing relevant bits of the SLD

Cascading Style Sheets

CSS with extensions for map rendering

Simple, Compact, designed for human beings

Not a standard (several incompatible variants for mapping)

Showing the full style, it’s that short

Raster styling

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

A DEM and a color map

SRTM from USGS

Standard color map

Just avoid the nodata values with opacity=0

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

A DEM and a color map

Same as before, in CSS

Solid intervals

Scale dependent rules

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

Scale dependent rules

Too often forgotten or little used, yet very important:

Hide layers when too zoomed in (raster/vector example)

Progressively show details

Add more expensive rendering when there are less features

Key to any high performance / good looking map

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

Example

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

Hide as you zoom in

Add a MinScaleDenominator to the rule

This will make the layer disappear at 1:75000 (towards 1:1)

FOSS4G 2013, Nottingham 17th-22th September 2013

Alternative rendering

Simple rendering at low scale (up to 1:2000)

More complex rendering when zoomed in (1:1999 and above)

Prepare data

alter table pointlm add column image varchar;

update pointlm set image = 'shop_supermarket.p.16.png' where MTFCC =

'C3081' and (FULLNAME like '%Shopping%' or FULLNAME like '%Mall%');

update pointlm set image = 'peak.png' where MTFCC = 'C3022'

update pointlm set image = 'amenity_prison.p.20.png' where MTFCC =

'K1236';
