Crate mvt

A library for encoding mapbox vector tiles.

A tile is composed of one or more layers. Each layer can have any number of features, which contain the geometry to be rendered. They can also have metadata tags, which are key/value pairs.

Example

use mvt::{Error, GeomEncoder, GeomType, Tile};
use pointy::Transform64;

fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let mut tile = Tile::new(4096);
    let layer = tile.create_layer("First Layer");
    // NOTE: normally, the Transform would come from MapGrid::tile_transform
    let b = GeomEncoder::new(GeomType::Linestring, Transform64::default())
        .point(0.0, 0.0)
        .point(1024.0, 0.0)
        .point(1024.0, 2048.0)
        .point(2048.0, 2048.0)
        .point(2048.0, 4096.0)
        .encode()?;
    let mut feature = layer.into_feature(b);
    feature.set_id(1);
    feature.add_tag_string("key", "value");
    let layer = feature.into_layer();
    tile.add_layer(layer)?;
    let data = tile.to_bytes()?;
    println!("encoded {} bytes: {:?}", data.len(), data);
    Ok(())
}
