gj2ascii 0.1.1

Render GeoJSON as ASCII on the commandline.

Render GeoJSON as ASCII on the commandline.

Inspired by Twitter, vtcraghead, and dnomadb. Needs a better name.

Examples

By default every geometry is rendered individually and the user paginates through them by pressing return:

Use the --all flag to render the entire layer:

Caveats

The aspect ration of a character on the commandline is not equal so there is some vertical distortion.

Relies on [Fiona](http://toblerity.org/fiona/) for reading vector data, so reading delimited JSON or JSON from a file or stdin is not yet supported. It would be extra slick if this could take the output from fio cat.
