I have a big GeoJson file and I need to convert it to the vector format that can be loaded by the Mapbox. I need to have an external file, so I can't use Mapbox Studio for uploading and converting the data.
Currently I found https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe tool, but it converts GEoJSON to MBTiles (SQLite format). I think a can't use it for my map. As I can see from all the examples of the Mapbox service - it uses a XXX.vector.pbf (protobuf) format (small and fast). So the question is - how to get a Protobuf vector file from the original GeoJSON ? Thanks!
Tippecanoe is probably the right answer: it generates a ton of .pbf files, and bundles them into a single .mbtiles file. Usually you then pass that .mbtiles file to a vector tile server (there are heaps), or upload it to Mapbox or something.
If you want to explode out the .mbtiles file, you can use mbutil.
Finally, if you want to translate GeoJSON directly into protobuf format (different from the Mapbox vector tile format, I think), you can use GeoBuf.

I want to display a 3D bathymetry data in paraview, the file datatype is netcdf:
it has two dimensions and three variables;
my netcdf file format
When I try to open it in paraview: it is a 2D not 3D,
2D
I want to display Dlike this:
3D
i’m sorry for bad English and less infomation.
The most simple way to do that is to use the Extrusion Surface representation.
https://blog.kitware.com/a-new-embossing-representations-plugin-for-paraview/
Open ParaView
Tools -> Manage Plugins -> Embossing Representations
Create a new view
Open your file
Switch representation to Extrusion Surface
Only Available since ParaView 5.6.0. Keep in mind this is only a representation, not a change to the actual data. If you want to change the data, you will have to use CellDataToPointData and WarpByScalar, which will require more tweaking.
I have an unstructure grid in vtk file ( with legacy format), these file describe a points, cells and cell type. How can I generate a vtk structured point from this unstructure grid ?, or a 3d image file (with voxel information)?
You can start converting your vtkUnstructuredGrid to a vtkPolyData, see an example here . Then you can use vtkImplicitModeller to build a vtkImageData (voxels) from your vtkPolyData, see an example here . These are C++ examples, I'm sure you can find Python examples if needed.
I have 16,000 rows of data in excel.
In this excel, I have census block numbers.
What I want to achieve is that I want to make a map layer for these block numbers.
Then, if I click a polygon, the information of a block number display on the popups, like which state, county, and so on.
How can I do that? Do I have to use geojson files for this?
Because, many exmaples in the mapbox use geojson.
But I don't have any coordinates for these block numbers and 16,000 rows are really big to me. I got only block numbers.
But I got shapefiles for whole state block numbers.It is too big to upload mapbox gl js.
If geojson file is the way to achieve my goal, can someone tell me the orders that I can follow?
Or is there other way, please advise me.
Thanks.
So you have a geometry file ("shapefiles for whole state block numbers") and a data file ("16,000 rows of data in excel"). You want the user to click on a boundary in the geometry, and see data from the data file. You have two main options:
Join the data and geometry first (eg, use geojson-join, then upload to Mapbox as a tileset.
Upload just the geometry. Load the CSV file when the web page loads, then when the user clicks, display something from the CSV file.
My reading of the Leaflet and Mapzen documentations suggest that in order to use a custom tile provider with Leaflet, one needs to do just two things:
Specify the tile provider in L.tilelayer(urlTemplateToTileProvider)
Set this provider to MapZen
var urlTemplateToTileProvider =
'http://tile.mapzen.com/mapzen/vector/v1/all/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt?api_key=apiKey'
However, when I try this I end up with an empty map which then proceeds to display markers etc correctly. And yet a manual test for a generated tile URL, e.g.
http://tile.mapzen.com/mapzen/vector/v1/all/14/8471/5583.mvt?api_key=apiKey
did in fact download some - unintelligible to me - data.
I also tried using the other two formats mentioned in the Mapzen docs (.json and .geojson) but with exactly the same result. Given that the latter two formats return human readable data, I checked them out for my test tile in my browser and the data is indeed for the area I want to use.
Curiously enough, the Leaflet docs and tutorials request a PNG tile layer (http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png), not raw data.
What am I doing wrong here?
The Tile Layer is for raster tiles (i.e. plain images, like the PNG format for example).
Mapzen delivers vector tiles. To use them with Leaflet, you could use a plugin, e.g. Leaflet.VectorGrid (license)
Display gridded vector data (sliced GeoJSON or protobuf vector tiles) in Leaflet 1.0.0
See the demo, which includes tiles from Mapzen
var mapzenTilesUrl = "https://tile.mapzen.com/mapzen/vector/v1/all/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt?api_key={apikey}";
var mapzenVectorTileOptions = {
rendererFactory: L.canvas.tile,
attribution: '© MapZen, © OpenStreetMap contributors',
vectorTileLayerStyles: vectorTileStyling,
apikey: 'KEY',
};
var mapzenTilesPbfLayer = L.vectorGrid.protobuf(mapzenTilesUrl, mapzenVectorTileOptions);
Since you have raw data in the vector tiles, you need to provide the styling spec (vectorTileStyling)
I have sets of .dcm files of an MRI scan. I am trying to convert them into 3d formats like obj (preferably) or fbx to import them into Unity 3d. I used the following open source software dcmtk to convert .dcm file into text file.
Converting DICOM files to text files
However, the dcm files lack the needed information. Is it even possible to convert .dcm files to obj and fbx. if so, could you suggest something?
Thanks
(Edit)
I would like to put my question more precisely: I want to visualize MRI data as a 3D model in Unity 3d. This is possible only when I it stored as .obj or .fbx format. Which format of MRI medical data should I start with to convert to these formats?
Thanks
According to your previous comments you are looking for the necessary information in order to obtain the geometrical information of a DICOM series representing volumetric information (RM, TC, PET, ...)
In this case, you should have a look at the Roni Zaharia web site where he explains very clearly the concepts related to orientation and geometry of the DICOM images: DICOM is easy: Getting oriented
In this particular page you will find information about Pixel Spacing, Image Orientation, Image Position, Slice Thickness, and Slice Location, as well as additional information references.
