Project NL App

This repository contains the source code for the application presenting the results of the fall 2022 Project NL design-research project of the Berlage Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture and Urban Design of TU Delft.

The application showcases the possiblities of IIIF and Allmaps. See also this repository outlining the introductory workshop in the beginning of the semester.

File types

Markdown with YAML frontmatter

Markdown is a markup language to add formatting to plain text. See this guide for more information. Each markdown file starts with a metadata block (also called frontmatter) in the YAML format, set between ---. YAML is a 'human friendly' format to store data, here's a tutorial.

Each slide contains the following frontmatter:

meta: # Slide metadata
  heading: Subtitle # Slide heading
  period: [1900, 1930] # Array denoting period
viewer: # Viewer settings
  bbox: [4.651103, 51.78665, 4.768242, 51.832353] # Viewer bounding box as can be exported from Placemark (Export > BBOX)
  rotation: 180 # Degrees
geojson:
  - filename: vector-01.geojson # Filename of geojson in the project's geojsons/ folder
    label: Building outline # Optional label for vector
allmaps: # List of maps
  - label: Map # Label for map
    attribution: # Optional attribution
      name: Regionaal Archief Dordrecht
      url: https://www.regionaalarchiefdordrecht.nl
    annotation: annotation-01.json # Georef annotation filename in the project's annotations/ folder
    opacity: 50 # Setting from 0 to 100 (optional)
    mask: rgb(255,0,0) # Mask based on color, RGB value (optional)
    colorize: rgb(255,0,0) # Colorize image after masking, RGB value (optional)

GeoJSON
