StaticMapMaker

• Markers
• Geodesic lines
• Automatic guessing of the maps center and zoom (based on added objects)
• Full anti-aliasing of drawn objects (via cairo)
• Caching of tile images

Installation

StaticMapMaker is available as a Python package, which can be installed via pip:

pip install staticmapmaker

All the rendering is done with pycairo which depends on the cairo libraries (Ubuntu package: libcairo2-dev).

Usage

import staticmapmaker as sm

ctx = sm.Context()
ctx.add_object(sm.Marker(sm.latlng(12, 34)))
ctx.add_object(sm.Line([sm.latlng(12, 34), sm.latlng(12.5, 34.5)]))
image = ctx.render(800, 600)
image.write_to_png('my-map.png')

See the examples directory for more detailed usage examples.
