colorize-transit-graph
Advanced tools
Add “random” line colors to a given transit graph, e.g. generated using osm-transit-graph.
npm install -g colorize-transit-graph
The library will add color attributes to all lines / line groups that don't yet have color information. Existing colors will be conserved.
The output graph could then be drawn by using svg-transit-map.
Usage:
cat graph.json | colorize-transit-graph > colorized-graph.json
Where graph.json containts a graph object with three attributes:
{
nodes: [ // list of all nodes
{
id: "900000042101", // required
metadata: {
x: 537.029, // x-coordinate in any metric, required
y: 673.576 // y-coordinate in any metric, required, see also the --invert-y option
}
}
// …
],
edges: [ // list of all edges
{
// the direction of the edge will be ignored, source and target are therefore interchangeable
source: "900000120025", // node id, required
target: "900000120008", // node id, required
metadata: {
lines :["U5","U6"] // list of line ids, required. please note that parallel lines must be modeled as one edge with two metadata.lines entries
}
}
// …
],
lines: [ // additional information for lines. if lines are not found in this list, default colour / group will be applied
{
id: 'U6', // line id, required
color: '#456', // line colour, optional. existing information will be conserved
group: 'U6' // line group id, optional. lines with the same group id will be merged info one for sections where they run in parallel
}
// …
]
}
The module can be used as a JS library:
const colorizeTransitGraph = require('colorize-transit-graph')
const graph = require('./graph.json') // your transit graph
const colorized = colorizeTransitGraph(graph)
Graphs drawn using svg-transit-map.
cat example/berlin-input.json | colorize-transit-graph > example/berlin-output.json
cat example/berlin-output.json | svg-transit-map > example/berlin-output.svg
