vectortileserver 0.1.0

Dynamic vector tile server for visualizing vectors in Jupyter notebooks

🌐 vectortileserver

A local vector tile server for visualizing PMTiles in Jupyter — localtileserver, but for vectors. Inspired by localtileserver, leafmap, protomaps-leaflet and maplibre-gl.

With TileClient, you can easily create a local vector tile server to visualize PMTiles in ipyleaflet.

If you have a vector file (.shp, .geojson, .gpkg, etc.), TileClient will convert it to PMTiles format using tippecanoe. If tippecanoe is not installed, an error will be raised. However, you can directly visualize local PMTiles as a data source.

Installing Tippecanoe

Tippecanoe is a tool for generating vector tile sets from large collections of GeoJSON features. It is designed to make mapping large datasets easy and efficient.

git clone https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe.git
cd tippecanoe
make -j
make install
