Introducing Map taxonomy chart with Jawg Maps
Sometimes, we want to see our map style outside the map context. That's why we created the map taxonomy chart project.
Jawg taxonomy aims to view almost all your style elements in one page. This is completely compatible with our maps styles created with the jawg lab. The result is viewable on websites and printable (pdf or paper).
What is a map taxonomy chart ?
With a map taxonomy chart you will be able to compare your map elements by section (all roads, all administratives boundaries, all places labels etc). This will help you see all the elements of the same section relative to each other. You will be able to see how your city names will be render according to their importance for example (a capital like Paris versus a city like Cardiff).
It is also a great way to share the elements of your map to everyone and without connection thanks to the PDF export.
Here is an example of our jawg-sunny style integrated directly into the blog :
