How can I directly display a simple .OSM file in browser? - gis

How can I directly display a simple .OSM file in browser. I want to simply display .OSM file in the browser like it is displayed in JOSM editor.

The Leaflet plugin leaflet-osm has the option to load a data layer which uses a single OSM object, or a small number of objects. This method is not recommended for a large amount of data.
Here's the example from the leaflet page:
$.ajax({
url: "http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/164979149",
// or "http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/52477381/full"
dataType: "xml",
success: function (xml) {
var layer = new L.OSM.DataLayer(xml).addTo(map);
map.fitBounds(layer.getBounds());
}
});

That is not directly possible because the .osm file is just a XML file containing raw data, it needs to be rendered first. However there is various rendering software, some of it can produce an image directly out of a .osm file.

You can display osm as vector data by using the leaflet plugin leaflet-osm for example.

What does "blob" mean in the `href` property in "<link>"? [duplicate]

My page generates a URL like this: "blob:http%3A//localhost%3A8383/568233a1-8b13-48b3-84d5-cca045ae384f" How can I convert it to a normal address?
I'm using it as an <img>'s src attribute.
A URL that was created from a JavaScript Blob can not be converted to a "normal" URL.
A blob: URL does not refer to data the exists on the server, it refers to data that your browser currently has in memory, for the current page. It will not be available on other pages, it will not be available in other browsers, and it will not be available from other computers.
Therefore it does not make sense, in general, to convert a Blob URL to a "normal" URL. If you wanted an ordinary URL, you would have to send the data from the browser to a server and have the server make it available like an ordinary file.
It is possible convert a blob: URL into a data: URL, at least in Chrome. You can use an AJAX request to "fetch" the data from the blob: URL (even though it's really just pulling it out of your browser's memory, not making an HTTP request).
Here's an example:
var blob = new Blob(["Hello, world!"], { type: 'text/plain' });
var blobUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhr.responseType = 'blob';
xhr.onload = function() {
var recoveredBlob = xhr.response;
var reader = new FileReader;
reader.onload = function() {
var blobAsDataUrl = reader.result;
window.location = blobAsDataUrl;
};
reader.readAsDataURL(recoveredBlob);
};
xhr.open('GET', blobUrl);
xhr.send();
data: URLs are probably not what you mean by "normal" and can be problematically large. However they do work like normal URLs in that they can be shared; they're not specific to the current browser or session.
another way to create a data url from blob url may be using canvas.
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas")
var context = canvas.getContext("2d")
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0) // i assume that img.src is your blob url
var dataurl = canvas.toDataURL("your prefer type", your prefer quality)
as what i saw in mdn, canvas.toDataURL is supported well by browsers. (except ie<9, always ie<9)
For those who came here looking for a way to download a blob url video / audio, this answer worked for me. In short, you would need to find an *.m3u8 file on the desired web page through Chrome -> Network tab and paste it into a VLC player.
Another guide shows you how to save a stream with the VLC Player.
UPDATE:
An alternative way of downloading the videos from a blob url is by using the mass downloader and joining the files together.
Download Videos Part
Open network tab in chrome dev tools
Reload the webpage
Filter .m3u8 files
Look through all filtered files and find the playlist of the '.ts' files. It should look something like this:
You need to extract those links somehow. Either download and edit the file manually OR use any other method you like. As you can see, those links are very similar, the only thing that differs is the serial number of the video: 's-0-v1-a1.ts', 's-1-v1-a1.ts' etc.
https://some-website.net/del/8cf.m3u8/s-0-v1-a1.ts
https://some-website.net/del/8cf.m3u8/s-1-v1-a1.ts
https://some-website.net/del/8cf.m3u8/s-2-v1-a1.ts
and so on up to the last link in the .m3u8 playlist file. These .ts files are actually your video. You need to download all of them.
For bulk downloading I prefer using the Simple Mass Downloader extension for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-mass-downloader/abdkkegmcbiomijcbdaodaflgehfffed)
If you opt in for the Simple Mass Downloader, you need to:
a. Select a Pattern URL
b. Enter your link in the address field with only one modification: that part of the link that is changing for each next video needs to be replaced with the pattern in square brackets [0:400] where 0 is the first file name and 400 is the last one. So your link should look something like this https://some-website.net/del/8cf.m3u8/s-[0:400]-v1-a1.ts.
Afterwards hit the Import button to add these links into the Download List of Mass Downloader.
c. The next action may ask you for the destination folder for EACH video you download. So it is highly recommended to specify the default download folder in Chrome Settings and disable the Select Destination option in Chrome Settings as well. This will save you a lot of time! Additionally you may want you specify the folder where these files will go to:
c1. Click on Select All checkbox to select all files from the Download List.
c2. Click on the Download button in the bottom right corner of the SMD extension window. It will take you to next tab to start downloading
c3. Hit Start selected. This will download all vids automatically into the download folder.
That is it! Simply wait till all files are downloaded and you can watch them via the VLC Player or any other player that supports the .ts format. However, if you want to have one video instead of those you have downloaded, you need to join all these mini-videos together
Joining Videos Part
Since I am working on Mac, I am not aware of how you would do this on Windows. If you are the Windows user and you want to merge the videos, feel free to google for the windows solution. The next steps are applicable for Mac only.
Open Terminal in the folder you want the new video to be saved in
Type: cat and hit space
Open the folder where you downloaded your .ts video. Select all .ts videos that you want to join (use your mouse or cmd+A)
Drag and drop them into the terminal
Hit space
Hit >
Hit Space
Type the name of the new video, e.g. my_new_video.ts. Please note that the format has to be the same as in the original videos, otherwise it will take long time to convert and even may fail!
Hit Enter. Wait for the terminal to finish the joining process and enjoy watching your video!
Found this answer here and wanted to reference it as it appear much cleaner than the accepted answer:
function blobToDataURL(blob, callback) {
var fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.onload = function(e) {callback(e.target.result);}
fileReader.readAsDataURL(blob);
}
I'm very late to the party.
If you want to download the content you can simply use fetch now
fetch(blobURL)
.then(res => res.blob())
.then(blob => /*do what you want with the blob here*/)
Here the solution:
let blob = new Blob(chunks, { 'type' : 'video/mp4;' });
let videoURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
const blobF = await fetch(videoURL).then(res => res.blob())
As the previous answer have said, there is no way to decode it back to url, even when you try to see it from the chrome devtools panel, the url may be still encoded as blob.
However, it's possible to get the data, another way to obtain the data is to put it into an anchor and directly download it.
<a href="blob:http://example.com/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" download>download</a>
Insert this to the page containing blob url and click the button, you get the content.
Another way is to intercept the ajax call via a proxy server, then you could view the true image url.

LOCAL HTML file to generate a text file

I am trying to generate a TEXT/XML file from a LOCAL HTML file. I know there are a lot of answers to generating a file locally, usually suggesting using ActiveX object or HTML 5.
I'm guessing there is a way to make it work on all browsers (in the end HTML extension is opened by a browser even if it is a LOCAL file) and easily since this is a LOCAL file put in by user himself.
My HTML file will be on client's local machine not accessed via HTTP.
It is basically just a form written in HTML that upon "SAVE" command should be generating an XML file in the local disk (anywhere user decides) and saving form's content in.
Any good way?
One way that I can think of is, the html form elements can be set into class variables and then using the jaxb context you can create an XML file out of it.
Useful Link: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JAXB/article.html
What you can do is use base64 data-urls (no support for IE9-) to download the file:
First you need to create a temporary iframe element for your file to download in:
var ifrm = document.createElement('iframe');
ifrm.style.display = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(ifrm);
Then you need to define what you want the contents of the file to download to be, and convert it to a base64 data-url:
var html = '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Foo</title></head><body>Hello World</body></html>';
htmlurl = btoa(html);
and set it as source for the iframe
ifrm.src = 'data:text/x-html;base64,'+htmlurl;

Animating JSON data?

Dumb question time. I was trying to integrate my JSON data with a flipbook plugin, using a Mustache templating system. Needless to say, this wasn't working at all.
I'm a jQuery noobie, so is there any easy way to bind and animate the JSON data to/with a plugin (with or without the Mustache tags)??
From your question it is a bit hard to deduce what you want, but I feel you got already all the pieces together. First the example you have been linking to in a comment: https://github.com/blasten/turn.js/wiki/Making-pages-dynamically-with-Ajax
This fetches not yet loaded pages via Ajax, and the sample code assumes the Ajax call gets HTML back from the server, as can be seen in the code snippet from there (after adding a missing '}':
$.ajax({url: "app?method=get-page-content&page="+page})
.done(function(data) {
element.html(data);
});
Here the done function processes the data it got back from the server by straight injecting it into the element, which is expected to contain the current page.
I assume next that you do have a server side method, but that method returns JSON instead. Let me assume for the moment that it returns the following structure:
{ "title" : "the title of page N",
"text" : "here is some text for the page N." }
The next thing is to render this JSON into into html in the done funktion, before inserting the result into the page. Looking at the short tutorial on the README.md this might look like:
$.ajax({url: "app?method=get-page-content&page="+page})
.done(function(data) {
var pageHtml = Mustache.render("<h2>{{title}}</h2><p>{{text}}</p>", data);
element.html(pageHtml);
});
If the server returns the proper data you should now see a
<h2>the title of page N</h2><p>here is some text for the page N.</p>
appear on the page.

Kendo chart export to pdf or png

I have a kendo chart with the remote data. Is it possible to export the chart to png or pdf format
Since Atanas Korchev's answer, kendo has implemented a built-in method to export a chart as a png, svg or a pdf file.
If you want to export a png file you can do it by using the exportImage function:
kendoChart.exportImage().done(function(data) {
kendo.saveAs({
dataURI: data,
fileName: "chart.png"
});
});
For a PDF, it's almost the same logic with the exportPDF function:
chart.exportPDF({ paperSize: "Auto", landscape: true }).done(function(data) {
kendo.saveAs({
dataURI: data,
fileName: "chart.pdf"
});
});
You may refer to kendo chart API documentation for more details about those functions.
It is possible if you use some third-party tool such as InkScape. The latter can convert SVG (the Kendo UI Chart native format) to pretty much anything else including PNG and PDF. You can use the svg method of the chart to get the underlying SVG and then send it to a remote service.
Here is an ASP.NET MVC application which shows how: https://github.com/telerik/kendo-examples-asp-net/tree/master/chart-inkscape-export

Embed DWG file in HTML

I want to ask how to embed DWG file in HTML Page.
I have tried using tag with Volo Viewer but this solution run only in IE not in Firefox and Chrome.
Dwgview-x can do that, but it will need to be installed as a plug-in on client computers so that anyone can view the dwg file that you embed online.
There may be third party ActiveX controls that you could use, but I think ultimately you will find that it's not practical for drawing files of even average complexity. I recommend to create DWF (if you need vector format) or PNG files on demand (using e.g. the free DWG TrueView from http://usa.autodesk.com/design-review/ ) and embed those instead.
I use DWG Browser. Its a stand alone program that is used for reporting and categorizing drawings with previews. It saves exports in html too.
They have a free demo download available.
http://www.graytechnical.com/software/dwg-browser/
You'll find what I think is the latest information on Autodesk's labs site here: http://labs.blogs.com/its_alive_in_the_lab/2014/01/share-your-autodesk-360-designs-on-company-web-sites.html
It looks like a DWG can be embeded there is an example on this page, but clearly DWF is the way to go.
You can embed DWG file's content in an HTML page by rendering the file's pages as HTML pages or images. If you find it an attractive solution then you can do it using GroupDocs.Viewer API that allows you to render the document pages as HTML pages, images, or a PDF document as a whole. You can then include the rendered HTML/image pages or whole PDF document in your HTML page.
Using C#
ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig();
config.StoragePath = "D:\\storage\\";
// Create HTML handler (or ViewerImageHandler for rendering document as image)
ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config);
// Guid implies that unique document name
string guid = "sample.dwg";
// Get document pages in html form
List<PageHtml> pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(guid);
// Or Get document pages in image form using image handler
//List<PageImage> pages = imageHandler.GetPages(guid);
foreach (PageHtml page in pages)
{
// Get HTML content of each page using page.HtmlContent
}
Using Java
// Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config
ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig();
// Set storage path
config.setStoragePath("D:\\storage\\");
// Create HTML handler (or ViewerImageHandler for rendering document as image)
ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config);
String guid = "Sample.dwg"
// Get document pages in HTML form
List<PageHtml> pages = htmlHandler.getPages(guid);
for (PageHtml page : pages) {
// Get HTML content of each page using page.getHtmlContent
}
