Salt Examples

Examples for Salt

Please be sure to check out the release tag matching the version of Salt you intend to use

• png-example - illustrates using Salt to build .png image datasets compatible with any TMS visualization library.

• bin-example - illustrates using Salt to build byte file datasets which utilize client-side heatmap rendering using Leaflet's TileLayer.Canvas library.

• torque-example - illustrates using Salt to build TileJSON datasets compatible with CartoDB's Torque library.

• path-example - similar to bin-example, but illustrates rendering lines instead of points

• hierarchical-pie-example - illustrates using Salt and D3.js to build a non-2D-spatial visualization of inherently hierarchical data

Dependencies

To run the example projects your development environment will need to have the following installed:

• Docker
• Java compiler
• Gradle
• Node + npm

Running Examples

Examples generally have two phases:

1. tile data generation
2. web-based viewer of the result

Please see README.md files in each example directory for further instructions.

Using Windows?

Windows and Docker don't always play nicely together when it comes to volume mounting. Some tips:

• Make sure you have *NIX line endings on all the files in your working copy. Set $ git config core.autocrlf false and check out a fresh copy of the salt-examples codebase.
• If all else fails, try virtualizing a Linux environment
