Team up Django and Web mapping DjangoCon Europe 2014 Mathieu
Leplatre @leplatrem www.makina-corpus.com
Main goals... • Web mapping should be simple • Google
Maps should become unusual • Demystify cartography !
Main focus... • Fundamentals of cartography (projections, PostGIS) • Web
mapping (GeoJSON, Leaflet) • Django toolbox (a.k.a. GeoDjango)
Fundamentals of cartography
Coordinates : position on Earth • Longitude (x) – Latitude
(y) • Decimal degrees (-180 +180, -90 +90) → → • GPS
Geodesy : shape of the Earth Ellipsoid (GPS, WGS 84)
Illustration: http://mapschool.io
Projections • Equations (lat/lng pixels) ↔ • Representation on a
plane ( compromises) → • Spatial reference transformation Illustration: http://mapschool.io
Spatial References • Coordinate system (cartesian) • Units (degrees, meters)
• Main axis (equator, Greenwich) • Ellipsoid, geoid (WGS 84) • Conical, cylindrical, conformal, ... • … Store WGS 84 → (GPS, srid=4326) Display →Mercator (Google Maps, srid=3857)
Vector data • Point (x, y, z) • Line (ordered
list of points) • Polygon (enveloppe + holes) Illustration: http://mapschool.io
Raster data • ~ Images • Map backgrounds (satellite, plan,
…) • Atimetry data (DEM) Illustration: http://mapschool.io
A PostGIS database • Column types (Point, LineString, Polygon, …Raster...)
• Geographic functions (distance, area, extents ...) • Spatial Indexes (rectangles trees...) $ sudo apt-get install postgis $ psql -d mydatabase > CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
Examples (1/2) CREATE TABLE island ( label VARCHAR(128), code INTEGER,
geom geometry(Polygon, 4326) )
Examples (1/2) CREATE TABLE island ( label VARCHAR(128), code INTEGER,
geom geometry(Polygon, 4326) ) Usual table Usual columns Vector geometry column Geometry type Spatial Reference
Examples (2/2) SELECT room.id FROM room, island WHERE ST_Intersects(room.geom, island.geom)
Spatial join INSERT INTO room (geom) VALUES ( 'SRID=4326;POINT(3.12, 43.1)'::geometry ) EWKT format PostgreSQL cast
Web mapping
Web map anatomy... • JavaScript + DOM • Initialization of
a <div> • « Layers »
Web map anatomy... • JavaScript + DOM • Initialization of
a <div> • « Layers » • <img> (Backgrounds) • Vector SVG → • Lat/Long pixels → (CSS) • DOM Events (interactions)
Leaflet example <script src="leaflet.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="leaflet.css" /> <div id="simplemap"></div>
<script> var map = L.map('simplemap') .fitWorld(); L.tileLayer('http://tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png') .addTo(map); L.marker([43.07, -5.78]) .addTo(map); </script> http://leafletjs.com

GeoDjango
Django Ecosystem for Cartography from django.contrib.gis import ... • Models
fields (syncdb) • GeoQuerySet (spatial queries) • Form fields (Django 1.6) • System libraries deps (GEOS, GDAL) • Widgets & AdminSite (OpenLayers 2)
Examples (1/2) from django.contrib.gis.db import ( models as gismodels )
class Island(gismodels.Model): label = models.CharField(max_length=128), code = models.IntegerField(), geom = gismodels.PolygonField(srid=4326) objects = gismodels.GeoManager()
Examples (2/2) from django.contrib.gis.geos import Polygon embiez = Island(label='Embiez', geom=Polygon(((0.34,
0.44), (0.36, 0.42), …))) ~ from django.contrib.gis.geos import fromstr myroom = fromstr('SRID=4326;POINT(3.12, 43.1)') Island.objects.filter(geom__intersects=myroom)
• Views (Class-based) • Generalization & approximation (less details and
decimals) • Serialization (dumpdata, loaddata) • Model fields (text, no GIS !) • Vector tiles (huge datasets) django-geojson from djgeojson.views import GeoJSONLayerView urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^buildings.geojson$', GeoJSONLayerView.as_view(model=Building)) )
django-leaflet • Quick-start kit {% leafletmap "djangocon" %} • Assets
(collecstatic) • Easy plugins integration • Global configuration (settings.py, plugins, ...) • Leaflet projections machinery (reprojection)
django-leaflet (view) {% load leaflet_tags %} ... {% leaflet_js %}
{% leaflet_css %} </head> <body> {% leafletmap "buildingmaps" callback="initMap" %} <script type="text/javascript"> function initMap(map) { // Ajax Load $.getJSON("{% url app:layer %}", function (data) { // Add GeoJSON to the map L.geoJSON(data).addTo(map); }); } GeoJSON view
LAYER
django-leaflet (edit) Forms • Fields (Django 1.6+ API) • Widgets
(hidden <textarea> + Leaflet.draw) class BuildingForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Building widgets = {'geom': LeafletWidget()} fields = ('code', 'geom') • Leaflet AdminSite admin.site.register(Building, LeafletGeoAdmin)

Conclusion
Anyone can do Web mapping... Cartography is simple. • Just
some special data types • Follows Django conventions • Few lines of code Illustration: Chef Gusteau, Pixar Inc.
… with appropriate tools and strategies ! Cartography is hard.
• Performance (Web) • Volume (precision) • Data refresh rate (caching) • User stories too far from data (modeling) Illustration: Anton Ego, Pixar Inc.
