spacing parameter with vector layer

[b_b]

Hi and thank you for TileStache, this tool rocks.

I'm new here and i'm playing with TileStache since last week. I've managed to install it with the help of this tutorial :

http://www.axismaps.com/blog/2012/01/dont-panic-an-absolute-beginners-guide-to-building-a-map-server/

I've made a french tranlsation of it and bring some small fix, i will publish it on my blog in the coming days. My draft is there for the moment :

I have a question about the spacing parameter when displaying vector layer feeded with a json file. i've got a demo online here :

http://92.243.26.168/polymaps/examples/geodiv/

This demo will be acessible until the 04/28 (it is hosted on free virtual server for now, i will put this on my dedicated server after that). My json file is there :

http://92.243.26.168/geodiv.json

And here is my Tilestache config file :

https://gist.github.com/2471555

Does the spacing option work for geojson source ? Does this functionnaliity needs some specials libs to be enabled on the server ? Is there something wrong in my json file or in my config file ?

Thanks for your help ++

Make sure you use the --include-path option to use the local version,
otherwise it'll execute the installed version.

E.g. ./scripts/tilestache-server.py --include-path=.

Thanks for this info, i've managed to log what happened and found my mistake :)

I was using this in my config file :

        "geodiv":
        {
            "provider": {"name": "vector", "driver": "GeoJSON", "parameters": {"file": "geodiv.json"}},
            "preview": {"lat": "48", "lon": "-4", "zoom": "7", "ext": "geojson"},
            "projection": "spherical mercator",
            "allowed origin": "*",
            "spacing": "16"
        },

Instead of using the right syntax :

        "geodiv":
        {
            "provider": {"name": "vector", "driver": "GeoJSON", "parameters": {"file": "geodiv.json"}, "spacing": "16"},
            "preview": {"lat": "48", "lon": "-4", "zoom": "7", "ext": "geojson"},
            "projection": "spherical mercator",
            "allowed origin": "*"
        },

The spacing parameter had to be in the provider part of arguments, problem solved.

Anyway, the tutorial i was talking about in my first post here is now online here :

Next incoming tutorial will explain how to use vector tiles and GeoJSON.

Thanks again ++
