I'm working hard to get up to speed with OpenMapTiles. The quickstart.sh script usually runs to completion so I've preferred it as a source of truth over the sometimes inconsistent documentation. Time to evolve.
What is the most efficient way to build an MBTiles file that contains, say, planet-level data for zooms 0-6 and bounded data for zooms 7-13, ideally for multiple bounded areas (e.g., a handful of metro areas). Seems a common use case during development. Can it be done with the existing Docker tools?
Did you try to download a OSM file from http://download.geofabrik.de/index.html and place it in /data folder, as stated in the quickstart.md (https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/blob/master/QUICKSTART.md) ?
Placing the osm.pbf file in your /data folder and adjusting the .env and openmaptiles.yaml file to your preferred zoom should help you with a next step.
I'm not sure what you mean with the bounds.

I'm new to using Docker and wanted to understand how to add large folders (combined ~1GB) kept elsewhere (such as in SharePoint) to the Docker container using Dockerfile. What is the best way to add the files and can someone explain the commands to be used? For example, one method I have come across is the following:
ADD http://example.com/big.tar.xz /usr/src/things/
Does the /usr/src/things/ specify the location where I want to save the folders (not individual files) with respect to my original repository?
This answer is from: Adding large files to docker during build which covers the question at a high level. Can someone share details/commands for each step involved? One answer mentions not adding the files to the image but mounting as a volume. Is that a better option than using ADD in the Dockerfile.
Thanks!
I was asked to develop a game called "Flag Quiz" in which the player have to guess the correct name of the flag that appears in the middle of the screen.
Of course I have a lot of pictures (221 flags) and I have to put them inside the program because, when the button Play is pressed, the program has to pick randomly 10 of these flags.
Problem
I was thinking to use an ImageList but the flags are 480x311 and so Delphi asks me to separate the picutre in 30 different bitmaps. Can I do anything about this?
My idea, to avoid that problem, was the following (although I think that it's not very good): create 221 TPicture components (invisible to the user of course) and load in each of them a picture of a flag.
I'd prefer not using the last idea I had. Do you know any improvement?
This sort of problem is simply not suited to the form designer. You want to store 221 images, and managing that in the IDE will be horrible. Once you've got them all in you won't be able to see them readily because they will be base 16 encoded in a .dfm file. Under revision control it will be a mess because you won't be able to change individual images in a manageable and traceable manner.
The accepted way to do this is to use resources. If it were me, I'd arrange for my images to have predicatable names. For instance, flag1, flag2, etc. I'd generate a resource script (.rc) that listed all the flags. I'd compile that resource script to a compiled resource (.res) which is linked to the executable. I'd have the resource script and the image files committed to revision control.
Then at runtime you have a single TImage control to display the flag. Every time you need a new image you load it with TResourceStream, and push it into the TImage control.
Devexpress has a Componnect named cximagecolletion that you can put your images on it and save and load images from/to file
or you can save all flags in small access db and load it when you need using tadodataset
there is no doubt that if you put your images direct on your form your dfm grow very high and so you Get Into trouble
Personally I would store each file as an image in a dedicated subdirectory, using the country as a file name. Then I would read the subdirectory file names on entry to the program (so I have a list of countries that I can randomly choose from) and use TImage.LoadFromFile to display the flag. This is far easier to extend than using a resource file (IMHO).
I can use:
#+INCLUDE:
to include an org file in another org file, which allows me to assemble, say, a website from various org files. I'm exporting from the C-c C-e exporter in org-mode 7.5.
I could maintain a quite complex publication this way. This modular approach is quite common in, e.g. LaTeX and Texinfo publications.
However, links to images no longer work from the #+INCLUDEd org files. What seems to be happening is that the path to the images is taken as being from the org file that I am exporting from, rather than the actual org file that references the image.
The only ways I can see to resolve this are to:
use a flat file structure; or
make the image path from the referencing file (which I might not know in advance) rather than itself.
Neither of these is really sustainable.
How do I tell org to use the correct image path from its own relevant org file rather than the parent org file?
From what I know of the exporter, INCLUDE files are inserted into the document before export. Therefore the content is part of the document before it starts following paths to reach any links to files (images).
After a bit of testing you likely will need to use absolute file paths. Since you move between Windows and Linux your best bet would be to use a consistent scheme on both starting from your home directory.
Like that you can make the Org link:
[[~/path/to/image.jpg]], which will work on both systems (assuming you have set %HOME% on Windows).
Option 1 is potentially an alternative (although I agree it wouldn't be ideal at all), whereas the second option would have obvious pitfalls if you INCLUDE the file in more than one future document.
I'm familiar with tools like Deadweight for finding CSS not in use in your Rails app, but does anything exist for images? I'm sitting in a project with a massive directory of assets from working with a variety of designers and I'm trying to trim the fat in this project. It's especially a pain when moving assets to our CDN.
Any thoughts?
It depends greatly on the code using the images. It's always possible that a filename is computed (by concatenating two values or string substitution etc) so a simply grepping by filename isn't necessarily enough.
You could try running wget (probably already installed if you've got a linux machine, otherwise http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ ) to mirror your whole site. Do this on the same machine or network if you can, it'll crawl your whole site and grab all the images
# mirror mysite.com accepting only jpg, png and gif files
wget -A jpg,png,gif --mirror www.mysite.com
Once you've done that, you're going to have a second copy of your site's hierarchy containing any images that are actively linked to by any page reachable by crawling your site. You can then backup your source image directory, and replace it with wget's copy. Next, monitor your log files for 404's pertaining to gif/jpg/png files. Hope that helps.
Finding unsed images should be easier than CSS.
Just find *.jpg *.png *gif with glob, put those filenames to dictionary or array and find those filenames againt html, css, js files, remove filename if found and you will get unused list, and move those images to another folder with same directory structure (It will be good for restoring for just in case)
Basically like this, and of course for the file names that encrypted/encoded/obcuscated will not work.
require "fileutils"
img=Dir.glob("**/*.jpg")+Dir.glob("**/*.png")+Dir.glob("**/*.gif")
data=Dir.glob("**/*.htm*")+Dir.glob("**/*.css")+Dir.glob("**/*.js")
puts img.length.to_s+" images found & "+data.length.to_s+" files found to search against"
content=""
data.each do |f|
content+=File.open(f, 'r').read
end
img.each do |m|
if not content=~ Regexp.new("\\b"+File.basename(m)+"\\b")
FileUtils.mkdir_p "../unused/"+File.dirname(m)
FileUtils.mv m,"../unused/"+m
puts "Image "+m+" moved to ../unused/"+File.dirname(m)+" folder"
end
end
PS: I used fileutils, because normal makedirs and mv are not works in my windows version of ruby
And I am not good at ruby, so please double check it before you use it.
Here is the sample results I ran in root folder of sample rails folder in my windows
---\ruby>ruby img_coverage.rb
5 images found & 12 files found to search against
Image depot/public/images/test.jpg moved to ../unused/depot/public/images folder
If your image URLs often come from many computed / concatenated strings and other stuff hard to track programmatically within your source code, and your application is in heavy use, you could try a soft "honeypot" approach like this:
Move all the assets to a different directory, e.g. /attic
Set up an empty /images directory (or what your asset directory is called)
Set up a .htaccess file (if you're on Apache of course) that, using the -f flag, redirects all requests to nonexistent image files to a script
The script copies the requested file from the /attic into the /images directory and displays it
The next request to that image will go directly to the image, because it exists now
After some time and sufficient usage, all needed images should have been copied to the assets directory.
It's a "soft" approach of course because a dialog / situation could have not been opened/entered/used by any user during that time (things like error message icons for example). But it will recognize all used files, no matter where they're requested from, and might help sort out much of the unneeded files.
If your file manager supports it, try sorting your images directory by the files' "last accessed" date. Files that haven't been accessed in a long time most likely aren't used any longer.
Along the same lines, you can also filter or grep through your web server's logs and make a list of the image files that it has served up in the last several months. Any images not in this list are likely unused.
Sometimes when I add a new file to my path, I have to restart MATLAB or it won't be detected. There must be an other way to this!
I have experienced similar problems (Matlab does not notice it when I change a file). Unfortunately, I have no idea what causes it or how to solve it. I usually find that CLEAR ALL solves the problem, but be aware that it clears all variables in the work space. Some 'REHASH' command (e.g., REHASH TOOLBOXRESET) may also be useful.
I'd love to see a better answer; all documentation that I came across seems to indicate that this cannot happen.
Perhaps this is a problem with Matlab caching certain files at startup to improve performance. This happens with files in certain directories.
From Matlab help for path command:
Note (...) Also note that locations of files in the matlabroot/toolbox directory tree are loaded and cached in memory at the beginning of each MATLAB session to improve performance. If you save files to matlabroot/toolbox directories using an external editor or add or remove files from these directories using file system operations, run rehash toolbox before you use the files in the current session. If you make changes to existing files in matlabroot/toolbox directories using an external editor, run clear functionname before you use the files in the current session. For more information, see the rehash reference page or the Toolbox Path Caching topic in the MATLAB Desktop Tools and Development Environment documentation
I've often seen this happen with networked file locations. I don't understand the mechanism, but it definitely happens. A solution that often works:
path(path);
or, if that fails to pick it up, try this: (NB, this will clear your workspace)
clear classes;
path(path);
We did this last one so much, we put it in script on our common code path called:
shazaam;
Yes, my age is showing.
You want the "rehash" function or you need to set the path again using "path(path)" or similar. It also depends on whether you're using a "frozen" path. Look at the help for ADDPATH.
MATLAB will keep a cached copy of the compiled M-file unless it know that you've changed it. If you've created the file or you've edited it outside of MATLAB, then it may not know that it's changed.
This happens to me when the networked drive connection is lost then restored. rehash does not work but rehash toolboxreset does
