Basic map setup for lizard web sites

Project description

lizard-map
==========

Lizard-map provides basic map interaction for `Django
<http://www.djangoproject.com>`_ applications that use a `lizard-ui
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lizard-ui>`_ user interface. We designed it at
`Nelen & Schuurmans <http://www.nelen-schuurmans.nl>`_ for our geographical
information websites (with water management information).

It provides:

- Openlayers (map javascript libary) map display and server-side map
generation (mapnik's WMS functionality). Background maps are configurable.

- A "workspace" interaction model: drag mappable items into a workspace and
they'll get displayed. The workspace is stored in the Django database.

- A "collage" attached to every workspace for storing selected info on map
items (like graphs).

- An extention mechanism to plug more or less arbitrary map sources into the
workspace so that they can be displayed, searched, etc.


Core concept: workspaces
------------------------

A *workspace item* is something that can be displayed on a map. A *workspace*
is a collection of workspace items that is actually displayed.

There are two types of workspaces:

- Edit Workspace: Every session/user gets its own workspace. This
workspace can be edited.

- Storage Workspace. TODO: extra info.


A workspace item needs to know how to display itself, how to search for items
when you click on the map and more. To get that to work for arbitrary map
sources, you need to configure an adapter. The adapter has a ``layer()``
method for returning a mapnik layer, a ``search()`` method for searching and
so on.

- You register an adapter as a so-called "setuptools entrypoint" under a
specfic name.

- When you add a workspace item, you pass in the adapter name and an optional
snippet of json to configure the adapter.

The workspace item keeps track of this adapter and its configuragion and uses
it to generate maps, for searching, etc.


Collages
--------

A workspace item often results in multiple areas or points. If you click on
such a point, you normally get a popup with extra information. If you want to
compare a couple of those information "snippets", you can place them in your
*collage*. In the GUI this is called "Selectie".

Clicking the collage gives a popup with all the collected information popups
in that single popup.


Interaction
-----------

Included is quite some javascript for workspace interaction. Potential
workspace items can be drag/dropped into a workspace to add them. Workspace
items can be reordered. You can drag them to the trash.


Dependencies
------------

Almost all dependencies are listed in our ``setup.py``, so they get pulled in
automatically. Not all of them install as good as eggs, though. You might be
better off installing them system-wide with your OS's own packaging system.

You can force buildout to use system-wide installed packages with the
`osc.recipe.sysegg <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/osc.recipe.sysegg>`_ recipe.
An example config::

[buildout]
...
parts =
sysegg
...

[sysegg]
recipe = osc.recipe.sysegg
force-sysegg = true
eggs =
PIL
matplotlib
simplejson
pyproj


Development installation
------------------------

The first time, you'll have to run the "bootstrap" script to set up setuptools
and buildout::

$> python bootstrap.py

And then run buildout to set everything up::

$> bin/buildout

(On windows it is called ``bin\buildout.exe``).

You'll have to re-run buildout when you or someone else made a change in
``setup.py`` or ``buildout.cfg``.

The current package is installed as a "development package", so
changes in .py files are automatically available (just like with ``python
setup.py develop``).

If you want to use trunk checkouts of other packages (instead of released
versions), add them as an "svn external" in the ``local_checkouts/`` directory
and add them to the ``develop =`` list in buildout.cfg.

Tests can always be run with ``bin/test`` or ``bin\test.exe``.


External dependencies
---------------------

The dependencies for a full website that uses lizard-map are best expressed as
ubuntu/debian package dependencies: build-essential, python2.6-dev, apache2,
libjpeg-dev, python-imaging, python-matplotlib, python-mapnik, python-scipy,
libapache2-mod-wsgi, python-gdal, spatialite-bin, python-pysqlite2,
python-pyproj.


Upgrading to Lizard 3
---------------------

Short summary to convert your app to Lizard 3.

- Replace old template tags workspace with workspace_edit and
collage_edit (see below).

- Review urls.py for old lizard_map views. Replace with new ones or
remove.

- Migrate

- Upgrade to class-based views, using one of the View classes
(i.e. AppView). An excellent description can be found when googling
"class based views reinout". You can take lizard-map views as
examples as well.


Site integration
----------------

The following steps has to be done in order to use the
lizard_map/workspace concepts.

- Install lizard-map somewhere. (Add 'lizard-map' in your setup.py:
install_requires)

- Add 'lizard_map' to your settings.py: INSTALLED_APPS.

- Add an entry in your urls.py::

import lizard_map.urls

(r'^map/', include(lizard_map.urls)),

- Use one of the views, i.e. AppView.


Example view::

from lizard_map.views import AppView

class MyAppView(AppView):
template_name = 'my_app/template.html'


Example template::

{% extends "lizard_map/wms.html" %}
{% load workspaces %}

{% block subtitle %} (page name) {% endblock %}

{% block sidebar %}

<div id="iconbox" class="sidebarbox sidebarbox-stretched iconlist">
<h2>Apps</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/address/" class="lizard-map-link">
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}lizard_ui/app_icons/meetgegevens.png" />
<div>App</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

{% workspace_edit view.workspace_edit %}
{% collage_edit view.collage_edit %}

{% endblock %}

- Add this view to your url.py:

import my_app.views

(r'^$', my_app.views.MyAppView.as_view()),


- Start testing by running syncdb / migrate.

- Add and configure background maps by loading "background_maps" fixture.

- Start dev server.


Settings
--------

Some default date range settings can be set in settings.py. All
settings are optional::

START_YEAR = 2000 # Defaults to today - 7 years
END_YEAR = 2010 # Defaults to today + 3 years.

# Define default period 1..5
# From daterange.py:
# PERIOD_DAY = 1
# PERIOD_TWO_DAYS = 2
# PERIOD_WEEK = 3
# PERIOD_MONTH = 4
# PERIOD_YEAR = 5
# PERIOD_OTHER = 6

DEFAULT_PERIOD = 5 # Defaults to 1

# If DEFAULT_PERIOD = 6, define these
DEFAULT_START_DAYS = -20 # Defaults to -1000
DEFAULT_END_DAYS = 1 # Defaults to 10

You can add google analytics to your site by adding the tracking
code::

GOOGLE_TRACKING_CODE = 'AA-12345678-0'


TODO
====

- Add tests. We're sorely lacking in that regard.

- Add example app for stand-alone in-browser testing and trying-out.

- Add possibility for multiple base layers.

- Remove hardcoded Dutch-centric initial map extends.

- More i18n/l10n.

- Fix reloading when dragging an item to the trash.

3.0 (2011-09-28)
----------------

Lizard 3: Make sure you read the readme before upgrading to this version.

- Rebuilt collage screen with grouping.

- Added configchecker.

- Added migration for new models; South introspection rules.

- Integrated search_name in search_coordinates.

- Various functions work on WorkspaceEdits and WorkspaceStorages.

- Added generic dialog javascript code.

- Added generic POST action javascript code.

- Made app_screen class-based, with helper class WorkspaceView.

- Added new workspaces, collages.

- Added PeriodMixin with tests.

- Added all kinds of mixins for workspaces, collages, etc:
GoogleTrackingMixin, WorkspaceMixin, WorkspaceEditMixin, MapMixin,
CollageMixin, DateRangeMixin.

- Added class based views: AppView,
WorkspaceStorageView, HomepageView, CollageDetailView.

- Added class based views for dialogs: ActionDialogView, WorkspaceSaveView,
WorkspaceLoadView, DateRangeView, CollageItemEditorView,
WorkspaceStorageListView, CollageView, CollageEmptyView,
CollageItemEditView, CollagePopupView, WorkspaceEmptyView.

- Adapter stuff: AdapterMixin, ImageMixin, AdapterImageView, AdapterCsvView.


2.5 (2011-09-23)
----------------

- Not mentioning pyproj as a dependency anymore, even though we *do* need
it. Somehow the osc.recipe.sysegg buildout recipe doesn't really want to
play nice with it.

- When there's an non-existing adapter (=invalid/non-existing entry point
name), we now also delete the workspace item instead of raising an
error. There just might be an old workspace item laying around in a
customer's session and we shouldn't keep the customer stuck in an
error 500.


2.4 (2011-09-22)
----------------

- The context processor now first weeds out faulty workspace items before
attempting anything else. This prevents an "error 500": normally the
workspace item gets deleted, but the .is_animatable call still breaks on the
just-deleted workspaceitem. Now we first remove the faulty ones beforehand.


2.3 (2011-09-20)
----------------

- Made the automatic invalid-workspaceitem-deletion more robust.

- Removed the youtube popup. Unused at the moment. And the implementation was
terribly hardcoded.

- Commented out all the debugging in the symbolmanager


2.2 (2011-09-02)
----------------

- 2.1.13 stated "please clear your session info when you upgrade to this
version as the fix to #3181 stores different information." This release
fixes that. No session data deletion is needed anymore.


2.1.13 (2011-09-01)
-------------------

- Fixed a problem in the date range selector, namely that the day of the end
date with move to the next day when the user selected another month of the
end date (#3181).

- Added request to templatetag snippet_group to be able to use request in
adapters' html function.


2.1.12 (2011-08-30)
-------------------

- Added try/except around hotshot in profile middleware, because it
requires python-profiler.

- Added request to layout_options in popup_collage_json. The request
is needed in some adapter.html functions in order to get user
datetime/periods.


2.1.11 (2011-08-30)
-------------------

- Fixed progress cursor in popup_click_handler().

- Zoom to closest extent is no longer used for workspace items.


2.1.10 (2011-08-24)
-------------------

- Requiring lizard-ui 3.0 now, which also means Django 1.3. Updated the
buildout and the testsettings for that. We're also using the KGS (known good
set) now to limit the amount of version pinning.


2.1.9 (2011-08-16)
------------------

- Edited mouse progress on click in map.


2.1.8 (2011-08-05)
------------------

- Added function to list icons names.


2.1.7 (2011-08-04)
------------------

- Fixed background-map wms. Updated template and js.

- Changed font-size for long legend texts in adapter.py. #3095.

- Added pdf.png icon. Use pdf.png as mask as well with color ffffff.

- Changed breadcrumbs according to #2499. The behaviour is as follows:
home for home screen and home -> screen for other screens.

- Fixed clicking bug in FF5: set pixelTolerance to null instead if 0
is a workaround for the OpenLayers bug. #3108.


2.1.6 (2011-07-29)
------------------

- Added function to convert WGS84 coordinates to RD.

- Updated point_3.png: the upper left corner contained an error.

- Added truncation of workspace-item-names to 80 characters (the
server would otherwise crash on longer names).

- Now using QuerySet.count instead of len(QuerySet.all()) in workspace
manager.

- Added some rel=tipsy html parameters.

- Pinned lizard_ui to 2.1.4


2.1.5 (2011-07-25)
------------------

- Settings are now cached. After deleting and saving the cache will be
invalidated.

- Added setting option javascript_hover_handler. Setting this option
to 'popup_hover_handler' will enable mouse overs. Note: run a
migrate after upgrading, the Setting.key field can now be 40
characters.

- #3096: fixed blue info button in workspace-acceptables (they appear
in lizard-shape).


2.1.4 (2011-07-14)
------------------

- iPad update: the (+) works again as well as some trees on the
sidebar. #3003, #3004.


2.1.3 (2011-07-12)
------------------

- Removed draggability of workspace-acceptables.

- Made the adapter.extent function optional. In
WorkspaceItem.has_extent we now just detect if the function is at
all present. #3041, #3036.

- Added wms layers to transparency function. #3039.

- Updated googlemaps_api_keys in fixture: the new key is for
lizardsystem.nl and all its subdomains.

- Updated workspace_item_empty: When emptying workspace, the
snippet-groups will also be deleted. #3031.

- Added try/except around search_coordinates and search_name for
#3033.


2.1.2 (2011-06-30)
------------------

- Adapter.legend: removed "force_legend_below" behaviour when width <
500. TODO: fix force_legend_below or remove.

- Changed adapter.legend: self.axes.legend instead of
self.figure.legend. Everything seems ok.


2.1.1 (2011-06-30)
------------------

- Added google_tracking_code from settings to context_processor, if
available.

- Added try/except in WorkspaceCollageSnippetGroup.values_table (used
in "show tables" of collage view), because some adapters don't
implement the adapter.values function.


2.1 (2011-06-29)
----------------

- Temporary disable sorting in workspace when a new workspace-item is
being added. Solves #2961.


2.0.1 (2011-06-22)
------------------

- Really fixed the non-closed span element.


2.0 (2011-06-22)
----------------

- Fixed a non-closed 'span' element that broke the layout in IE.


1.90 (2011-06-22)
-----------------

- Changed empty workspace text.


1.89 (2011-06-21)
-----------------

- Raising workspaceitemerror when the json we get isn't decodable. More
robust code this way.


1.88 (2011-06-21)
-----------------

- Made popups more consistent (shadow color and size).

- Added 'continue to site' link in introductory video popup.

- Showing reload link in the statistics part that is shown when the date range
has been changed.

- Adding extra safety measure so lizard-map doesn't crash on faulty
shapefiles.

- Fixed collage graph editing: made a check more robust for missing parameters.


1.87 (2011-06-17)
-----------------

- Re-enabled custom y tick locator amount selection.

- Showing the table now looks at the table belonging to the button by means of
a wrapper div, which is more reliable.

- Fixed the problem that a hidden popup would remain populated and re-evaluated
(ticket 2892).


1.86 (2011-06-16)
-----------------

- Added bare try/except around wms workspace layer looping to prevent
the function to crash.

- Added transparency_slider to context variables. From now on the
transparency_slider is enabled by default.

- Added optional popup_video_url parameter to the ``homepage()`` view. This
video url, when used, should point to the embed urls of YouTube videos.
Currently the sizes are hardcoded, so this is work-in-progress.
The video is shown once per day, max.

- Modified graph: less yticks, bigger ylabel, dutch monthnames,
yearlabel is now at first tick of year.


1.85 (2011-06-10)
-----------------

- Fixed tab setup in graph popup: no more unneeded reloading of the html. Also
the graphs aren't reloaded more often than necessary.

- Added force_legend_below parameter to ``legend()`` to force the legend to be
placed below the graph.

- Added function to create a image from reguest and response to save
it as .png on client side (views.py, urls.py, lizard_wms.js)

- Added declaration to OpenLayers' ImgPath to use our own dark theme location.

- Implemented tipsy in some places.

#2794.


1.82 (2011-06-03)
-----------------

- Added spinner ("waiting") icon for clicking on a workspace item, clicking on
the plus sign, deleting a workspace item or deleting a collage item.


1.81 (2011-06-03)
-----------------

- Workspace items and snippets take up a fixed one-line height now. The
overflow is hidden. This makes the interface more predictable.


1.80 (2011-06-01)
-----------------

- Added default "javascript_click_handler" (namely ``popup_click_handler``) to
the context via the lizard_map context processor.

- By default, a hover_click_handler isn't added anymore unless you specify one
yourself in the context. Most sites don't need/want it.

- Fixed overly-aggressive reloading of map layers. This improves the performance.

- Added checkboxes and functionality to collage-items (snippets).


1.79 (2011-05-30)
-----------------

- Use gray background color for map: loading of tiles is less noticable

- Added possibility for profiling middleware according to

- Deleted action-icon 'calendar' and date_popup block from
tag_workspace.html

- Fixed bug with updating snippet-list when pressing trashcan.

- Implemented new date popup (day, 2 days, week, ...). It now stores
relative datetimes in the session. It submits and updates on
changes. Added tests for daterange.

- Modified adapter.py so that graphs always have a top margin

- Fixed timeout on nothingFoundPopup (#2585).

- Fixed nothingFoundPopup on collage class (#2557).

-----------------

- Added migration for BackgroundMap and Setting models.

- Changed "zoom to box" instead of "pan to center" when clicking
workspace-acceptable or workspace-item magnifying glass.

- Added BackgroundMap and Setting models. Model BackgroundMap used to
store the configuration of single background maps and if the map is
the default one. Setting is to store global, end-user changeable
settings, such as startlocation_x, startlocation_y, etc. This change
also removes dependencies of settings.MAP_SETTINGS.

-----------------

- Added more tests (test coverage now at 62%).

1.8 (2010-08-30)

1.7 (2010-08-27)
----------------

the OpenLayers in-the-map popup. Visually cleaner, clearer and prettier.
And easier to maintain and to get right.

- Various visual fixes.

- Deleting a workspace item also deletes the corresponding snippets.

- Added color pulldown for collage view settings (instead of requiring you to
know the internal matplotlib color code names :-) )


1.6 (2010-08-26)
----------------

- Animation slider and name-hover are now also working in the default
workspace view.

- Name hover is now placed just to the lower right of the cursor. This way
you can still click on the item you hovered above instead of your click
being blocked sometimes by the hovering name.

prevents (most) labels from being cut off.


1.5 (2010-08-26)
----------------

- Layout improvements for popups and tables.

- Added dateperiods: calculate periods for use in graphs.

- Added styling for popups.


1.4 (2010-08-23)
----------------

- WorkspaceCollageSnippetGroup's name was a TextField (=multiline) instead of
a simple CharField. Oracle stores a TextField as a "NCLOB" and has some
restrictions on them (no index, no .distinct()). Anyway, this blew up on
an oracle-using installation. Fixed now.

- Removed double value_aggregate() method from base adapter: the extra one
raised a NotImplemented error and overshadowed the real method.


1.3 (2010-08-18)
----------------

- Requiring our dependencies that must be installed with system eggs. We use
the osc.recipe.sysegg in our own buildout to grab them from the system. A
sample config is included in the readme.

- Added optional legends.

- Add option to show tables in collage view.

combination with python 2.6.


1.2 (2010-08-16)
----------------

- Added a bit of test setup to make xml test reports possible (for integration
with Hudson). Similarly for coverage reports, also for Hudson. Automatic
code quality monitoring!

- Implemented snippet groups. Snippet groups group similar snippets in
a collage.

- Removed site-specific breadcrumbs.

- Refactored collage view. One can now edit graphs in the collage
view. The graph-only editor has been removed.

- Added an animation slider for showing map layers at specific points in
time. Only shown when there are workspace items that support it.

- Removed graph-properties that were stored in the session.

- Passing extra 'request' keyword argument to all adapter layer() methods.
**Warning**: This needs refactoring in all adapters. Advance warning:
we'll probably refactor the adapters to get the request in their
``__init__()`` method later on.


1.1 (2010-07-16)

0.9 (2010-06-18)
----------------
