CartoType Style Sheets

Here are two maps of the same area drawn using different style sheets.

Above: Poole in southern England using the standard style sheet.

Labels in style sheets

The <label> section in a <layer> section tells CartoType to draw a label and defines its style, including font attributes.

You can have up to two <label> sections in a <layer>. That enables you to draw both a highway shield with the highway reference, and an ordinary name along the road, for example. Use <labelAttrib> to select the correct name for each label, if using more than one.

The <label> attributes, in alphabetic order, are:

<scale> and <zoom> sections in style sheets

You will nearly always want your maps to look different at different scales. Some objects will not appear at some scales, and other will be drawn very differently. For example, minor roads may not appear at small scales, and city names may be suppressed or drawn as a faint overlay at large scales.

The easiest way to make this happen is to use <scale> sections:

<scale min='m' max='n'>
   ...
</scale>

with any balanced XML you like inside them.

Structure of a CartoType style sheet

   <defs> ... </defs>

</CartoTypeStyleSheet>

Levels of map objects

Most mapped objects are at ground level, but often it is useful to distinguish between various vertical levels, to allow the map to display objects in layer order.

CartoType uses 16 different levels. Ground level is 0, lower levels range from -8 (lowest) to -1, and higher levels range from 1 to 7 (highest).

Levels of map objects

The level is stored in the FeatureInfo attribute of a map object, which has an attribute called Level. The level of an object cannot be changed in the style sheet, but may be tested in a style sheet expression by using the special variable @level.

Terrain shading using the terrain-shadow layer

The terrain-shadow layer contains an eight-bit opacity (alpha) value for each sample, representing the light intensity for a simulated sun in the south-west. You draw it like this, giving a color value to be used when drawing the shadow. You can provide an opacity value as well. For example:

<layer name='terrain-shadow'>
<shape fill='#446' opacity='0.75'/>
</layer>

gives light greyish-green terrain shading.

The <defs> section

Objects used more than once can be defined in a <defs> section. An objects must be defined before any layers in which it is used. The following types of objects can be defined in the <defs> section: macros, hachures, icons, patterns and strings.

Macros

Macros define named sections of a style sheet for re-use multiple times (full description here).

Hachures

hachure2

The hachure used in the example to the right is specified like this:

<hachure id="other-area-shading" width="1pt" interval="4pt" color="brown" opacity="0.4"/>

Style sheet macros and variables

Style sheets can get very big. Two ways to save space are described here.

Macros

Macros are predefined pieces of the style sheet which can be referenced by name. You define macros in the <defs> section like this:

<defs>
<macro id='minor-road-label'>
    <scale max='40000'>
        <label case='assume-title' color='dimgrey' font-size='75%,5pt,12pt' glow='white' glowWidth='7%,0.5pt' priority='-2' wrapLines='0'/>
    </scale>
</macro>
<macro id='standard-tunnel'>
    <scale max='75000'>
        <tunnel dashArray='1.5,1.5' fade='0.3'/>
    </scale>
</macro>
</defs>

The <layer> section

A layer is a named set of map objects of a common type, like roads, parks, or stations. Layers are drawn in the order in which sections appear in the style sheet. The <layer> attributes are:

name: the name of the layer, which must match the name stored in the map data file or database
road: if 'true' or 'yes', this is a road layer. Setting the road attribute allows layers to be drawn in appropriate order: roads, including tunnels, are drawn after (on top of) objects in earlier layers.

Displaying highlighted routes, pushpins, user-created data and other auxiliary data

CartoType applications that do navigation or route-finding need to highlight the current route, display points of interest and addresses selected by the user, and draw other temporary, fast-changing or custom data.

You can do this in a completely flexible way using an auxiliary map database supplied to CartoType at map drawing time. For example, to highlight a route, you could create a memory-resident map database (using the class CMemoryMapDataBase), add the layer "route" to it, and arrange for this database to contain one or more line objects representing the current route, if any.

You then add a layer section for the "route" layer to the style sheet, in a convenient place: probably after all other ordinary layers but before <labelLayer/>.

When a map is drawn and an auxiliary database is supplied as well as the main database, for every layer in the style sheet both databases are searched for matching objects. Objects from the main database are drawn first, then objects from the auxiliary database.

The <labelLayer> section: a special layer for icons and labels

All icons and labels are collected and drawn as a separate layer, which is drawn when the <labelLayer> section is interpreted. Icons are drawn immediately before labels. The <labelLayer> tag has no attributes, so you just place

in the style sheet, at the same level as other layers. Normally it is the last item in the style sheet.

You can achieve various special effects by using more than one <labelLayer/> tag. Each label layer draws all the icons and labels that have been stored since the last label layer if any. One application for this feature is to draw icons and labels for routing information independently of all others, and overlapping them.

The <shape> element in a <layer> controls the drawing of polygons. The <shape> attributes are

border: the color used to draw the border; omit this if no border is wanted; if it is specified, but borderWidth is omitted, the border is drawn one pixel wide.
borderWidth: the width of the border. The width may not be a percentage, because there is no obvious value it could be a percentage of.
borderOffset: the amount by which the border is inset (if positive) or moved outwards (if negative).
dashArray: a dashed border can be drawn by supplying a list of numbers giving the lengths of the filled-in sections and the gaps between them, in units of the width of the border (given by the borderWidth attribute). For example, the value '1,2' specifies dashes one unit long and gaps two units long. The list of numbers can be any length.
fill: the color used to fill the polygon; omit this if the polygon is not to be filled.
height (legal values are 'yes' and 'no'): if 'yes', any suitable map object attributes are used to draw the building in 3D if required. These attributes are _t (top in meters), _b (bottom in meters) and any attribute starting with _roof:.
insetBorder (legal values are 'yes' and 'no'): if 'yes', the border is inset by half its width, making it fit inside the polygon.
opacity: the opacity of both the fill and border colors. To set the fill and border opacity values separately, use the #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA form for specifying the colors.
smooth (legal values are 'yes' and 'no'): if 'yes', the polygon is smoothed.

Example:

<shape fill="lightgray" border="darkgray" borderWidth="10m" opacity="0.5"/>

Here is a map using inset borders (insetBorder='yes') for national boundary polygons:

Central America

The <line> section in a <layer> controls the drawing of lines, the most important of which are roads. Some attributes apply only to roads. The <line> attributes are

fill: the color used for the interior of the line
border: the color of the borders of the line
centerLine: (for roads only) the color of the center line of a road; used for major divided highways; center lines are drawn only if the road is marked as divided in the data
width: the width of the line
borderWidth: the width of the borders; percentage values refer to the width of the line
centerLineWidth: (for roads only) the width of the center line; percentage values refer to the width of the road
opacity: the opacity of all features - line, border and center line. To set opacity values separately use the #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA form for specifying the colors
antiAlias: (allowed values: "true" or "false") if true (the default value) use anti-aliasing to draw the line and its border more smoothly.
dashArray: a dashed line can be drawn by supplying a list of numbers giving the lengths of the filled-in sections and the gaps between them, in units of the width of the line. For example, the value '1,2' specifies dashes one unit long and gaps two units long. The list of numbers can be any length.

The <icon> section in a <layer> controls the drawing of icons for point objects. Icons are specified using SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). The <icon> attributes are:

canCombine: if the value is "yes" or "true" multiple instances of this icon are combined (at the time of drawing the map) when too close together. By default icons do not combine. Combined icons are given the attribute _combined=N, where N is the number of original icons combined.
canOverlap: if the value is "yes" or "true" the icon can overlap other icons. By default icons are not allowed to overlap. Non-overlapping icons are drawn only if they would not overlap other non-overlapping icons. Overlapping icons are always drawn.
color: if present, overrides the natural color of the icon as defined by the SVG code; the icon is drawn in monochrome, colorising it using the specified color
colorAttrib: the name of a map object attribute giving the color of the icon; the default map object attribute name is _color. Map objects having the specified attribute use it as the icon color.
height: height of the icon; when the icon is rendered it is scaled to this height; if width is not set it is calculated automatically, preserving the aspect ratio of the SVG graphics
hotSpotX: x coordinate of the icon's hot spot, which is the point on the icon to be positioned at the point of interest on the map; defaults to 50% of the icon's width; percentage values refer to the width of the icon
hotSpotY: y coordinate of the icon's hot spot, which is the point on the icon to be positioned at the point of interest on the map; defaults to 50% of the icon's height; percentage values refer to the height of the icon
id: the name by which an icon can be referenced elsewhere in the style sheet. Icons can be referenced anywhere after their definition, whether they are defined in a <defs> section or at their point of first use in a layer.
labelX, labelY: x and y coordinates of the label position, relative to the hotspot, if a label is to be drawn on top of the icon (as in US Highway shields). The label is centered on this position. Percentage values refer to the width and height of the icon. The default values are both 0, meaning that the label is drawn over the hotspot. Percentage values refer to the height of the icon.
priority: the label priority, with the same meaning as it has in <label>; this attribute allows you to set the label priority if a label consists of an icon only. This attribute works only if it is part of the <icon> element in a <layer>, not if it is specified in the <icon> element in the <defs> section.
ref: a reference to an icon defined previously in the <defs> section of the style sheet. If a <ref> is present, the <svg> section is taken from the <icon> in the <defs> section.
refAttrib: the name of a map object attribute containing the icon reference; if this is specified, for any map objects having the attribute, the value of the attribute is used to select the <icon> from the <defs> section
text: the text for an icon made from a character or characters rather than SVG graphics
textAttrib: if not empty, the name of a map object attribute giving the icon text, for use with icons consisting of one or more characters. Overrides text.
width: width of the icon; when the icon is rendered it is scaled to this width; if height is not set it is calculated automatically, preserving the aspect ratio of the SVG graphics

Every <icon> section that does not load a predefined icon using the ref attribute must contain an <svg> section defining the icon using a subset of the Scalable Vector Graphics language. CartoType supports the following SVG graphic elements fully: <g>, <rect>, <circle>, <ellipse>, <line>, <polyline>, <polygon>, and <path>, and partially supports <text>.

Here is a sample <icon> section containing some SVG code to draw a large blue letter H to indicate a hospital:

<icon width='70m,16pt,100pt'>
   <svg width='80' height='100'>
      <g stroke='blue' stroke-width='20'>
         <line x1='10' y1='0' x2='10' y2='100'/>
         <line x1='70' y1='0' x2='70' y2='100'/>
         <line x1='10' y1='50' x2='70' y2='50'/>
      </g>
   </svg>
</icon>

Graphics can be used to indicate bridges and ramps (roads connecting limited-access roads like motorways to other roads). They consist of an optional shadow under the bridge, and optional lines at the side of the bridge, with user-definable ends.

Bridge graphics are drawn for roads with the bridge attribute, and ramp graphics are drawn for those with the ramp attribute.

bridge1

The bridge graphics above are drawn using this style:

<bridge width='45m,2pt' border='dimgrey' borderWidth='14%,1' endPath='l 512 512' maxScale='50000'/>

You use the <bridge> or <ramp> tag inside a < layer> tag (or inside a <condition> in a layer). The <bridge> and <ramp> attributes are:

border: the border color
shadow: the shadow color
width: the width of the bridge (distance between bridge borders)
borderWidth: the width of the border strokes
shadowWidth: the width of the shadow
shadowOffsetX: x offset of the shadow, relative to the road
shadowOffsetY: y offset of the shadow, relative to the road
maxScale: maximum scale (denominator) at which the bridge graphics are drawn
endPath: a path, using SVG path syntax, for strokes appended to the ends of the bridge sides. It gives one of the four ends only: that of the top right end, if the bridge is drawn horizontally. The other ends are generated by transforming the path as needed. The path units are 1024ths of the line width unless modified by unitsPerLineWidth.
unitsPerLineWidth: the size of the units in endPath, defined as the number of units equal to the line width. The default value is 1024
fill: if present, the fill color for the bridge or ramp; if absent, the bridge or ramp inherits the road color.
lineBorder: if present, the line border color for the bridge or ramp; if absent, the bridge or ramp inherits the road's border color.
lineWidth: if present, the line width for the bridge or ramp; if absent, the bridge or ramp inherits the road's line width.
lineBorderWidth: if present, the line border width for the bridge or ramp; if absent, the bridge or ramp inherits the road's border width.

For all the dimensions, percentages are relative to the width of the road.

Using SVG for tunnel graphics

You can use SVG for more complex graphics for tunnel mouths. Do this by embedding an <svg> element inside a <tunne>l element. For example:

<tunnel dashArray='1,1' fill='yellow' mouthWidth='150%' maxScale='25000'>
   <svg x='-750' y='-750' width='1500' height='1500'>
   <linearGradient id="tunnel_gradient" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x1="0" y1="0" x2="-512" y2="0">
      <stop offset="0" style="stop-color:cornflowerblue"/>
      <stop offset="1" style="stop-color:yellow"/>
   </linearGradient>
   <path stroke='none' fill="url(#tunnel_gradient)" d='m 0 -500 a 500 500 0 1 0 0 1000 z'/>
   <path stroke='brown' fill='none' stroke-width='60' d='m 0 -500 a 500 500 0 1 0 0 1000'/>
   </svg>
</tunnel>

which gives this:

tunnel2

In this example the SVG view rectangle is 1500 units wide, centered on (0,0). The rectangle has to be big enough for the graphics to be rotated to any angle without being clipped off. The width of the SVG rectangle is scaled to the width given by mouthWidth, so 1500 units are scaled to 150% of the line width - therefore 1000 SVG units correspond to the width of the line. The graphics are drawn relative to the right hand end of the tunnel, with (0,0) at the end itself, and the x axis aligned to the direction of the tunnel.

Using SVG for arrows

For more complex arrow graphics, where a filled shape with an optional border is not enough, use SVG, You can do it like this:

<oneWayArrow gap='2500' opacity='1' isLabel='yes'>
   <svg x='-500' y='-500' width='1000' height='1000'>
      <linearGradient id="XXX" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x1="-500" y1="0" x2="1000" y2="0">
         <stop offset="0" stop-color='pink'/>
         <stop offset="1" stop-color='red'/>
     </linearGradient>
    <path fill='url(#XXX)' d='M -450 -50 V 50 H 250 L -100 400 H 50 L 450 0 L 50 -400 H -100 L 250 -50 H -450 Z' />
   </svg>
</oneWayArrow>

which produces arrows that fade from red to pink along their length.

You can also define the arrow icon in the <defs> section and reference it using the ref attribute.

Repeated symbols and start and end symbols on lines

You can draw repeated symbols along any linear feature. For example, national frontiers are sometimes emphasized using small crosses, and cross-ties can be drawn along railway lines. The attributes you can use are exactly the same as for the oneWayArrow element, except that you use repeatedSymbol instead of oneWayArrow. You cannot use both oneWayArrow and repeatedSymbol for a road.

This feature can be used to place arrows along route lines overlaid on the map by means of of an auxiliary map database.

Using SVG for repeated symbols

You can use SVG to define repeated symbols in exactly the same way as for one-way arrows.

Start and end symbols

Symbols can also be specified for the starts and ends of lines. The startSymbol and endSymbol elements work in the same way as oneWayArrow and repeatedSymbol and allow you to create graphics that is drawn at the start or end of a line only. This can be used for arrow-heads, transverse ticks, and the like.

Dashed, truncated and extended lines

Dashed lines are specified using a syntax similar to that of SVG. Use the attribute dashArray in the <line> or <shape> tag. The value is a comma-separated list of dash and gap sizes, relative to the line width (e.g., the value 2 means a dash or gap twice as long as the line width).

The railway line below is drawn as a dashed line with a border, using this code in the style sheet:

<layer name='railway'>
<line width='12m,2pt' border='grey' borderWidth='10%,0.7,2' fill='white' dashArray='5,5'/>
<label font-size='75%,8pt' glow='white' color='black' case='assume-title'/>
</layer>

White dashes are drawn over a grey border; when there are dashes, the border is also the colour between the dashes.

dashed railway

Truncating and extending lines

Sometimes lines need to be truncated at the start or end or both. For example, a line indicating an airway may need to be shortened so that it doesn't interfere with symbols for navigation aids or position fixes. You can use the truncationAtStart and truncationAtEnd attributes inside <line> or <highlight> elements to shorten lines. All the normal map-related or display-related dimensions can be used, and you can also use percentages, which refer to the width of the line.

Negative values have the effect of extending lines. This can be used to join disconnected sections of highlights drawn along lines (for example, to show traffic density on roads).

Read more: Route types

Every map object has a Feature Type, which is part of its Feature Info value, which is encoded as a 32-bit integer.

You don't have to work with actual numeric values. In style sheet expressions you can test the name, or (if the feature type is not a route type) the three-letter code. The following expressions mean the same:

'@feature_type = "uni"'
'@feature_type = "university"'

The feature types consist of the 32 route types 0...31, and other types, which are created from three-letter codes aaa ... zzz by encoding each letter in five bits, using the values 1...26 for the letters a...z. Here is a C++ function to create a feature code from three lower-case letters:

inline uint32_t constexpr FeatureTypeCode(int A,int B,int C)
    {
    return (char(A - 'a' + 1) << 10) | (char(B - 'a' + 1) << 5) | (char(C - 'a' + 1));
    }

Here are the feature types that are currently defined and which may be used in expressions in makemap rules (.makemap files), and in style sheet conditions:
