Improvements to the main map style after switching to MapCSS

[bastiK]

After the main mappaint style has been converted to MapCSS (see #9691), we can use the new options to improve it.

Please add your ideas, mapcss styles, patches, etc. below.

[bastiK]

Rough ideas:

• repeat-image to draw cliffs as they appear in Mapnik (e.g. ​here)
• housenumber rendering (#9357)
• use zoom levels

[bastiK]

from ticket #9691 by Klumbumbus:

When the migration is done, you could maybe think about replace the default maxspeed icon on nodes (which shows always 60 for every maxspeed value) by a dynamic display of the real maxspeed value. There was already a discussion some years ago in #5859. I think it is better to show the real value instead of always 60. The code which could be integrated in the elemstyle.mapcss could look like this:

node[maxspeed<100]::maxbg
{
	symbol-shape: circle;
	symbol-size: 18;
	symbol-fill-color: white;
}
node[maxspeed<100]::maxfg
{
	symbol-shape: circle;
	symbol-size: 16;
	symbol-stroke-color: crimson;
	symbol-stroke-width: 2;
	text: "maxspeed";
	font-size: 9;
	text-color: black;
	text-anchor-horizontal: center;
	text-anchor-vertical: center;
	text-offset-x: 0;
	text-offset-y: 0;
}
node[maxspeed>=100]::maxbg
{
	symbol-shape: circle;
	symbol-size: 20;
	symbol-fill-color: white;
}
node[maxspeed>=100]::maxfg
{
	symbol-shape: circle;
	symbol-size: 18;
	symbol-stroke-color: crimson;
	symbol-stroke-width: 2;
	text: "maxspeed";
	font-size: 9;
	text-color: black;
	text-anchor-horizontal: center;
	text-anchor-vertical: center;
	text-offset-x: 0;
	text-offset-y: 0;
}

#9319 Lines with higher layer value should be drawn on top of lines of lower layer value

[naoliv]

Could leisure=swimming_pool have a blueish color, instead the current green color?

[Klumbumbus]

Don't display the building icon on nodes for building=no ​Example

[bastiK]

see #10044 - Bridges and tunnels are rendered in exactly the same way

[bastiK]

In 7147/josm:

see #10043 - Don't display the building icon on nodes for building=no

[bastiK]

In 7148/josm:

see #10043 - let leisure=swimming_pool have a blueish color, instead the current green color

[Klumbumbus]

Move the area styles of piste:difficulty=* from default layer also to "core_piste" layer (like piste way styles).

Then you can easily deactivate these styles from other mappaint styles (e.g. with fill-opacity: 0;) without to fear to break any other area fill color style in the default layer.

[skyper]

How about #9144 ?

[skyper]

Support cycleway:left/right=* and use casing. See #10057

[mkoniecz]

#9258 display bicycle=yes; foot=designated; highway=path in default paint style

#9385 colour of arrows on oneway paths with bicycle=designated, foot=designated

I suggested "repeat-image to draw cliffs as they appear in Mapnik" as #9427

#9834 barrier=guard_rail is not rendered as barrier

[bastiK]

In 7155/josm:

see #10043 - move the area styles of piste:difficulty=* from default layer to "core_piste" layer

[bastiK]

In 7156/josm:

fixed #9427 - natural=cliff is not displaying that upper side is on left and lower on the right (see #10043)

[bastiK]

In 7157/josm:

fixed #9834 - barrier=guard_rail is not rendered as barrier (see #10043)

[Klumbumbus]

see #10064 - realwidth and priority in elemstyle.mapcss

[Don-vip]

Paul, Simon, don't forget to update Help/Styles/MapCSSImplementation when adding new MapCSS functions :)

[Klumbumbus]

see #10067 - elemstyle.mapcss: text is displayd twice because of text:auto of fixme

[naoliv]

There is one problem with [7148]: if the area has only leisure=swimming_pool then it's properly displayed with a blue color.
However, if you also add sport=swimming, the color gets back to green.

[Klumbumbus]

Should sport=swimming always have blue colour, also without leisure=swimming_pool?

[skyper]

Found another one: #8869.

At least do not render both on the same spot.

[bastiK]

In 7199/josm:

switch to correct mini_roundout icon in areas with left-hand traffic (see #10043)

[bastiK]

In 7201/josm:

see #10057 - Better support for cycleway

[bastiK]

In 7202/josm:

see #10043 - water color for sport=swimming

[bastiK]

In 7386/josm:

see #10043 - Mappaint: print name of street along residential

[bastiK]

In 7390/josm:

see #10043 - more prominent label for place=*

[aceman]

Replying to bastiK:

In 7386/josm:

see #10043 - Mappaint: print name of street along residential

There are also roads of class primary/secondary/tertiary with names inside cities (where they act instead of highway=residential). Should they also be shown? Or only when abutters is set on the ways?

[Klumbumbus]

I also think that only residential is not the best way. I modified the style so the names for residential, living_street, motorway*, trunk*, primary*, secondary*, tertiary*, unclassified, service and track are shown. All with the halo color of the street. Since motorways and trunks often do not have names, but refs, the ref is shown. I think it looks nice. Try it out yourself.
Here is the modified style: elemstyles7428_more_streetnames.mapcss​
What do you think?

[bastiK]

In 7439/josm:

applied #10043 - render street name for more highway types (patch by Klumbumbus)

[bastiK]

Yes, it looks nice, thanks Klumbumbus! (please add patch file next time, if possible)

[Klumbumbus]

Name display for highway=pedestrian was added in [7457]

For maxspeed nodes see #10301
For zoom levels see #10363

How about an option to manually give a specific search/filter a colour ?
