**Geospatial Visualization with OpenLayers and PyQt6** In this post, we'll create an interactive geospatial visualization application using OpenLayers and PyQt6. The application will display a map with markers at specific locations. We'll explore the integration of OpenLayers, a popular JavaScript library for interactive maps, with PyQt6's WebEngineView widget. **Prerequisites:** * PyQt6 (Python 3.6 or higher) * OpenLayers 7.0.0 * Spatial data in GeoJSON format **Step 1: Install Required Libraries** You can install the required libraries using pip: ```bash pip install PyQt6 ``` Create a new directory for the project and create the following files: * `app.py`: The main application file * `map.html`: The OpenLayers map template * `data.geojson`: The spatial data file in GeoJSON format **Step 2: Create the Map Template** Create a new file called `map.html` and add the following code: ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/openlayers/openlayers.github.io/master/en/v7.0.0/css/ol.css" type="text/css"> <style> #map { width: 100%; height: 100vh; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 1px solid black; background-color: white; } </style> <script src="https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js?features=requestAnimationFrame,Element.prototype.classList,URL"></script> <script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/openlayers/openlayers.github.io/master/en/v7.0.0/build/ol.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="map"></div> <script> // Create a map instance const map = new ol.Map({ target: 'map', layers: [ new ol.layer.Tile({ source: new ol.source.OSM() }) ], view: new ol.View({ center: [0, 0], zoom: 2 }) }); // Add markers to the map <?php include 'data.geojson'; $geojson = json_decode(file_get_contents('data.geojson'), TRUE); foreach ($geojson['features'] as $feature) { ?> map.addLayer(new ol.layer.Vector({ source: new ol.source.Vector({ features: [new ol.Feature({ geometry: new ol.geom.Point([<?= $feature['geometry']['coordinates'][0] ?>, <?= $feature['geometry']['coordinates'][1] ?>]), name: '<?= $feature['properties']['name'] ?>' })] }) })); <?php } ?> </script> </body> </html> ``` **Step 3: Create the PyQt6 Application** Create a new file called `app.py` and add the following code: ```python import sys from PyQt6.QtCore import * from PyQt6.QtWidgets import * from PyQt6.QtWebEngineWidgets import * class MainWindow(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super(MainWindow, self).__init__() self.browser = QWebEngineView() self.browser.setUrl(QUrl('file:///path/to/map.html')) # Replace with the actual path to map.html self.setCentralWidget(self.browser) self.showMaximized() # Navbar navbar = QToolBar() self.addToolBar(navbar) back_btn = QAction('Back', self) back_btn.triggered.connect(self.browser.back) navbar.addAction(back_btn) forward_btn = QAction('Forward', self) forward_btn.triggered.connect(self.browser.forward) navbar.addAction(forward_btn) reload_btn = QAction('Reload', self) reload_btn.triggered.connect(self.browser.reload) navbar.addAction(reload_btn) home_btn = QAction('Home', self) home_btn.triggered.connect(self.navigate_home) navbar.addAction(home_btn) def navigate_home(self): self.browser.setUrl(QUrl('file:///path/to/map.html')) # Replace with the actual path to map.html app = QApplication(sys.argv) QApplication.setApplicationName('Geospatial Visualization with OpenLayers and PyQt6') window = MainWindow() app.exec_() ``` **Running the Application** To run the application, replace `path/to/map.html` with the actual path to `map.html` and run the following command in the terminal: ```bash python app.py ``` **Demonstration** The application displays a map with markers at specific locations. You can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel or by clicking on the "+" and "-" buttons on the map. You can also navigate to different locations by clicking on the map. **External Links** * OpenLayers Documentation: <https://openlayers.org/en/latest/doc/> * PyQt6 Documentation: <https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro> **Leave a comment** Please leave a comment below with any feedback or questions you may have about this tutorial.
