creating a dependent render.xml

[joost schouppe]

I've been trying to modify the new road surface rendering a little. But I can't get anything to work. There is very little information for the newbie (or I didn't find it). I only found the OpenFietsMap.render.xml as a working example (even depends-template.render.xml gives an error). Could someone provide a very simple, working example of a dependent render file?

Here's what I'm trying to do: when planning trips in South America, there are few routes to choose from. So decisions are most easily made at low zoomlevels. When you need to get some distance covered, you want to make sure the road is paved. But in South America, trunk roads are often unpaved. So you need the surface information to be available at these low zoom levels. For myself, I've got it fixed. I created this Overpass query to select the paved important roads, and imported the data to Osmand as a GPX file. But as I'm trying to get more overlanders to use Osmand (and contribute to OSM), I'd like something a bit more userfriendly and pretty.

Hi Joost,

The biggest one I found is here. I built a small one that shows the track as a thin line and the route as a dotted line (for some reason the line width of the route cannot be changed) to keep the road itself visible. It has been attached, Both are working for me.

Regards,

Jan

Did you try the strokeWidth="x:y" variable to change the width?

Hi Harry,

Yes I did (see below). For some reason it does work for the completed track, but not for the route.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<renderingStyle name="Route" depends="default" defaultColor="#ffffff" version="1">

     <renderingAttribute name="route">

        <filter pathEffect="4_8" strokeWidth="4" color="#FF0000">

            <filter nightMode="true"/>

        </filter>

    </renderingAttribute>

     <renderingAttribute name="gpx">

        <filter strokeWidth="2" color="#FF0000">

            <filter nightMode="true"/>

        </filter>

    </renderingAttribute>

</renderingStyle>

Apparently the file I posted before was not fully correct. Attached is the right one.
