Examples for Salt
Please be sure to check out the release tag matching the version of Salt you intend to use
-
png-example - illustrates using Salt to build .png image datasets compatible with any TMS visualization library.
-
bin-example - illustrates using Salt to build byte file datasets which utilize client-side heatmap rendering using Leaflet's TileLayer.Canvas library.
-
torque-example - illustrates using Salt to build TileJSON datasets compatible with CartoDB's Torque library.
-
path-example - similar to bin-example, but illustrates rendering lines instead of points
-
hierarchical-pie-example - illustrates using Salt and D3.js to build a non-2D-spatial visualization of inherently hierarchical data
To run the example projects your development environment will need to have the following installed:
- Docker
- Java compiler
- Gradle
- Node + npm
Examples generally have two phases:
- tile data generation
- web-based viewer of the result
Please see README.md files in each example directory for further instructions.
Windows and Docker don't always play nicely together when it comes to volume mounting. Some tips:
- Make sure you have *NIX line endings on all the files in your working copy. Set
$ git config core.autocrlf falseand check out a fresh copy of thesalt-examplescodebase. - If all else fails, try virtualizing a Linux environment
