Make Vector Topographic Maps (Open Street Map, Maperitive, and Inkscape)

by Michael Altfield

This guide will show you how to generate vector-based topopgraphic maps, for printing very large & high-quality paper wall maps using inkscape. All of the tools used in this guide are free (as in beer).

How-to Guide to Making Vector Topo Maps with Maperitive and Inkscape

Intro

I recently volunteered at a Biological Research Station located on the eastern slopes of the Andes mountains. If the skies w

Hi,

is it possible to convert a path like this one

To a series of "line" stroke that are draw in the middle ? Like this (in green)

Thanks.

Hi,

Is it possible with Inkscape to squeeze a shape in a mirror way (sorry I don't know how to phrase it better) \

The issue is that if my script is correctly done, a SVG is supposed to be exported to PNG with a fixed width, the script seems to work fine, but when I check it out again on Inkscape*, it shows me the original SVG size, not the resized PNG exported picture.

Here's a folder with the script and a random SVG I'm using for testing.

*To check the size of the picture in Inkscape, we need to change the units in the top bar, and then see the numbers that shows. The screenshot shows a 14,79 cm x 9,85 cm, instead of 10,5 cm x 6,9 cm.

I'm suscribed to some digital art channels (for Inkscape "Logos by Nick" is my favourite), and some days ago the YouTube algorithm did its job and reccommended me "Button Press Graphics", and I'm enjoying every video even if I already know what he is explaining. It has a few videos ans subscribers, but I think (and wish) it will become bigger.

I'm curious how the (non-bot!) subscribers to this community feel about the bot posts here.

Personally, I'm not entirely comfortable with posts to pictures that give me no real sense of who created the image or how.

What do the rest of you think? Are there rules we should make explicit?

So good Inkscape is free to use.

I suppose, it's not too complex and the headline of The New Oil website is delivered through this vector image in a good capacity. I really like Inkscape for all my minimalistic artwork. To understand the context, refer to issue and Penpot prototype.

The headline is "The Beginner's Guide to Data Privacy & Cybersecurity". At first, I just tried a bare oil drop representing the logo of TNO. This drop can be easily done with Path tool and mirrored through Path Effects or manually. I placed duotone gradients on both fill and stroke in such a fashion that gradients don't mix together (almost perpendicular directions).

If you don't know Logos by Nick on YouTube, you want to check out what he does. I'm not associated with the creator, but I've learned more about Inkscape from the tutorials there than anyplace else.
