#ShapeFile

Je tente ma chance : quelqu'un sait où et comment me procurer en carte géoréférencée (si possible en shapefile) des départements français en 1848 (ou en tout cas avant 1860)?

Je cherche à faire des cartes sur QGIS pour ma thèse mais je me heurte un peu aux absences de données historiques utilisables. J'ai moyennement envie de tracer des polygones moi-même...

Friends don't let friends save geodata as #shapefile ✅
(switchfromshapefile.org)

On a related note:
A friend is looking at tracing features (mostly streets and public transportation) from old city maps (Berlin, 1920-30s) with #QGIS. Does anyone have recommendations for (semi-)automated tools?
We've already tried Bunting's AI-Tool and 'Raster Tracer' plugins.qgis.org/plugins/raste, both with some success but not entirely satisfying...
Maybe something using #gdal?

Hey #spatial #R folks, is it possible to extract geometries from #ggplot as files? That is, the point, line, and polygon geometries in the graphs to #geopackage or #shapefile etc.

It is possible with #seaborn and #matplotlib, but that's Python not R. There's a nice and lightning fast #EdgeBundling technique in the newest ggplot, which is very promising for the #visualization of massive #mobility data.

There is also something in #HoloViews but I do not understand that library at all.

Started to build a webapp that generates random #geodata for testing and experimenting
Currently only points are supported. Export works for #GeoJSON and #Shapefile
The data generation runs fully client side without any backend. In future I might try #Gdal #OGR #wasm to support more file formats and projections
#gischat #gis #openlayers #vue #vite #typescript

@stuartdunn I took a quick look. Easier said than done.

Here are all the churches in OSM: taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags

Best I can find, the procedure is to use the "Overpass turbo" option (near the top right) to make a query and export the results (#shapefile not an option, but you might be able to convert kml or something else). In your case you probably just want nodes (points) and need to find a way to limit to England.

Query help is: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ov
