kothic-js

Kothic JS is a full-featured JavaScript map rendering engine using HTML5 Canvas.
It was initially developed as a JavaScript port of Kothic rendering engine written in Python.

Check out the demo: http://kothic.org/

* Rendering OpenStreetMap data visually on par with Mapnik
* MapCSS support (see How to Prepare a Map Style)
* rendering from lightweight GeoJSON-like tiles (see Tiles Format)
* easy integration with Leaflet (interactive maps library)

Install Node.js, then run:

``
npm install
npm install -g grunt-cli
grunt
`

Minified Kothic source will be generated in the dist folder.

Include kothic.js from the dist folder on your page. Now you can call:

`javascript
Kothic.render(
canvas, // canvas element (or its id) to render on
data, // JSON data to render
zoom, // zoom level
{
onRenderComplete: callback, // (optional) callback to call when rendering is done
styles: ['osmosnimki-maps', 'surface'], // (optional) only specified styles will be rendered, if any
locales: ['be', 'ru', 'en'] // (optional) map languages, see below
});
`

locales` Kothic-JS supports map localization based on name:lang tags. Renderer will check all mentioned languages in order of persence. If object doesn't have localized name, name tag will be used.
