Add special HVV blob shapes and colours
echtnurich opened this issue · 5 comments
As per this page, HVV uses some special shapes which you might want to include.
Bus lines are generally displayed as an elongated hexagon, while ferries use a trapezoid.
So it would be nice to replace rounded with something like shape
On the topic of HVV specialties, there is also some colour shenanigans going on.
As you can see at nimmbus.de Fahrplanbuch, some lines do not have solid block background, but rather an outline and characters in one colour, with a contrast filler.
Maybe a key like background-inverted or has-outline as boolean would be good.
Also, HVV RE/RB lines do not seem to have any blob, how would one support transparent background?
Maybe by not stating any colour?

I don't know if thats already a bit too specific and a bit overkill. Some edge cases are very difficult (looking at you, Munich's U7/U8), but I think for the first few thought I would define shapes without considering outlines/special colors in texts

For that, I'd just would not add them to the list as they are "text only"
Yea, sounds like a plan.
shape: pill, hexagon, rectangle, trapezoid, ...
The inverted ones look to be confined to temporary services or on-demand services.
Only a couple years ago, Metrobusses were inverted, but you dodged that one. 😄
Shapes are now included
