Very cool. It's a pity there's no option to highlight transit over roads or something though.

The repo README has some example code that looks like it might get you 90% of the way there to implementing railway highlights.

Could be a nice contribution to finish that out and send in a PR!

I'll have a look once I've had a little sleep! I generally like GIS projects and am pretty solid on the Python front so maybe I can be useful.

How to install such a thing ? Do I need a Vm with python ? Could someone explain how to pls

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

you have to download the repo and you need python installed, in the project folder you'd run

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

and then you should be able to run python create_map_poster.py --city <city> --country <country> [options]
