PHYGHTMAP

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-a LEFT:BOTTOM:RIGHT:TOP, --area=LEFT:BOTTOM:RIGHT:TOP

choses the area to generate osm SRTM data for by bounding box. If necessary, files are downloaded from the NASA server (http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM[1|3]). Specify as <left>:<bottom>:<right>:<top> in degrees of latitude and longitude, respectively. Latitudes south of the equator and longitudes west of Greenwich may be given as negative decimal numbers. If this option is given, specified hgt files will be omitted.

-s STEP, --step=STEP

specify contour line step size in meters. The default value is 20.

-o PREFIX, --output-prefix=PREFIX

specify a prefix for the filenames of the output osm file(s).

-p PLOTNAME, --plot=PLOTNAME

specify the path to write longitude/latitude/elevation data to instead of generating contour osm.

-c ELEVATION_MAJOR,ELEVATION_MEDIUM, --line-cat=ELEVATION_MAJOR,ELEVATION_MEDIUM

specify a string of two comma seperated integers for major and medium elevation categories, e. g. '200,100' which is the default. This is needed for fancy rendering.

-j NJOBS, --jobs=NJOBS

number of jobs to be run in parallel (POSIX only)

--osm-version=OSM-VERSION

pass a number as OSM-VERSION to use for the output. The default value is 0.5 since this saves disk space. If you need a newer version, try 0.6.

--start-node-id=STARTID

specify an integer as id of the first written node in the output OSM xml. It defaults to 10000000 but some OSM xml mergers are running into trouble when encountering non unique ids. In this case and for the moment, it is safe to say 10000000000 (ten billion) then.

--srtm=SRTM-RESOLUTION

use SRTM resolution of SRTM-RESOLUTION arc seconds. Note that the finer 1 arc second grid is only available in the USA. Possible values are 1 and 3, the default value is 3.

--viewfinder-mask=VIEWFINDER-RESOLUTION

if specified, NASA SRTM data are masked with data from www.viewfinderpanoramas.org. Possible values are 1 and 3 (for explanation, see the --srtm option).

-v, --version

print version and exit.

USAGE EXAMPLES

phyghtmap -a 8.59:49.34:8.78:49.45

generate openstreetmap xml for the area around Heidelberg, Germany

phyghtmap -a 8.59:49.34:8.78:49.45 -o heidelberg

same as above but save data to heidelberg_*.osm files instead of automatically generated filenames

phyghtmap -a -25:62:-12:68 -o iceland

This will not work since no SRTM data is available north of 60 degrees of north.

phyghtmap -a -25:62:-12:68 -o iceland --viewfinder-mask=3

Yes, this works. There is data available for that area at www.viewfinderpanoramas.org.

phyghtmap -a -25:62:-12:68 -o iceland --viewfinder-mask=3 -j 16

Same as above but use 16 parallel processes for the contour line calculation.

phyghtmap -a -25:62:-12:68 -o iceland -s 10 -c 100,50

Say this, if you want contour lines for Iceland with a step size of ten meters and major contour lines every 100 meters and medium contour lines every 50 meters.

phyghtmap -a 6:44:9:47 -o high_alps --viewfinder-mask=1

With this, you get wonderful contour line .osm with a resolution of 1 arc second where data is available at www.viewfinderpanoramas.org and NASA SRTM 3 arc second data elsewhere.

phyghtmap -s 5 some_filename.hgt

Make contour line .osm with steps of 5 meters from file some_filename.hgt. Note that no area was specified here. You can use phyghtmap like this with .hgt files from sources other than NASA SRTM or www.viewfinderpanoramas.org.

phyghtmap -p example_plotname.xyz -a 8.9:49.0:9.0:49.1

Do not generate contour line OSM xml but write a file 'example_plotname.xyz' with lines containing space seperated values of longitude, latitude and elevation for each point stored in the corresponding .hgt file within the specified area.
