AWIPS2 handles map backgrounds differently than AWIPS1 did. The Maps.py file
|
||
|
|
is no longer used for creating map backgrounds. Instead, a PostGIS <i>maps</i> database is used
|
||
|
|
in conjunction with xml configuration. Consequently, there is a change to how local
|
||
|
|
maps are added to the system. These maps are available across all perspective in CAVE and are
|
||
|
|
not specific to GFE.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<a href="mapConfig.html">Maps.py</a> and <a href="localMapsConfig.html">localMaps.py</a> are now only used to generate edit areas from maps database tables.

<p><ol>
|

|
|
<li>Any site level .shp, .shx and .dbf map files should be placed into the
|
||
|
|
/awips2/edex/data/utility/edex_static/site/LLL/shapefiles/<i>table_name</i> directory
|
||
|
|
where <i>table_name</i> is unique.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>To import one shapefile at a time, execute the
|
||
|
|
/awips2/database/sqlScripts/share/sql/maps/importShapeFile.sh script with the following
|
||
|
|
arguments: shapefile, scheme (mapdata), table (shapefile name), geometry simplification
|
||
|
|
levels (not used for Point data), user, port, and awips root directory. For detailed
|
||
|
|
instructions on how to do this, see the
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://collaborate.nws.noaa.gov/trac/siteconfig/wiki/HowToImportShapeFile">Importing
|
||
|
|
Map Shapefiles into AWIPS2 using importShapeFile</a> web page.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Next, you will need to add bundle files procedures. To do this, access the Localization
|
||
|
|
perspective in CAVE and browsing to the Bundles->Maps folder. MB3 on the Maps folder and
|
||
|
|
create a new xml file which corresponds to the shapefile folder. Copy and modify the contents
|
||
|
|
from an existing file.
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Line and Polygon shapefiles</b> - in the resourceData element, change the value of the
|
||
|
|
table element to the name of the database table (shapefile folder name), and the mapName
|
||
|
|
to the label to show in the Map menu in CAVE. If labels are required in the new map, then edit
|
||
|
|
the labelField in the Capability element. Otherwise, delete the capability element with type
|
||
|
|
<i>labelableCapability</i>. The value for the labelField relates to a column in the database table
|
||
|
|
with the same name. For example, the value CWA for the labelField refers to the values in the
|
||
|
|
cwa column of the CWA table in the mapdata scheme.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><b>Point shapefiles</b> - in the resourceData element, change the type attribute to
|
||
|
|
<i>dbPointMapResourceData</i>, change the value of the table element to the name of the new database
|
||
|
|
table name (shapefile filder name), and the mapName to the label to show in the Map menu in CAVE. If labels
|
||
|
|
are required in the new map, then edit the labelField in the Capability element. Otherwise,
|
||
|
|
delete the capability element with type <i>labelableCapability</i>. The value for the labelField
|
||
|
|
relates to a column in the database table with the same name. For example, the value CWA for
|
||
|
|
the labelField refers to the values in the cwa column of the CWA table in the mapdata scheme.</li>
