Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Resources/GIS sources and palettes

 — This Gis sources & palettes page aims to collect, list, and describe quickly suitable GIS files available online, but also to provide styles/palettes files to use within our softwares. So:

  1. if an interesting GIS files is available online, please add its description and download link using the fresh {{GIS data for Graphic Lab}} template
  2. since the Graphic labs developed a set of Map Conventions with encouraged colors, the page will be completed accordingly.

If not indicated otherwise, these resources are under PD license. The few files preceded by Warning ! Incompatible (non free) copyright or technical bug !  have either copyright restrictions or technical issues (bug). Better, those preceded by Great for maps conventions !  are wonderful tools and must have of the wiki-GIS mapmaker.

How to use this page ?

GIS sources

The GIS files found online are described using the {{GIS data for Graphic Lab}} template, with the following parameters when available:

Horizontal list
{{GIS data for Graphic Lab |name= |url_download= |publisher= |year= |license= |tag= |url_doc= |layers= |precision_max= |covered_area= |datum= |projection = |extensions= |size_compressed= |size_uncompressed= |tile_size= |tiles_total= |comment = |editor_note= }}

For ⁰arc (arc-second), and 'arc (arc-mintute), see Minute of arc#Cartography.

Palettes

To use the QGis palettes, simply copy-paste the code into a text document, then save as PALETTENAME.qml. Then, in QGis and while working on a layer :

QGis > Layer > Properties > Load a style > [browse, select the .qml file, load] > Apply

It is advised to create a specific '/Mapcolors' folder to store these .qml files.

Files types

  • Shapefiles : are a data exchange format created by ESRI and one of the most widely used GIS/geodata formats. One "shapefile" usually include four different files : .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj. First three files must all be present in order to use the data. Each shapefile can hold only one geometry type. The projection information contained in the .prj file is critical in order to understand the data contained in the .shp file correctly. Because shapefiles are widely used they can be combined with other geodata and used inside GIS (Geographic Information Systems), such as the open source QGIS application.

Topography/Bathymetry

Scope: positive (topography), neutral (coastlines), and negative (bathymetry) altitudes. Exclude: Mars, Moon, and water bodies (rivers, lakes), for this, see specific sections.

File namimg from the top-left corner's coordinates. 12 files in the online folder, 10 are useful (to exclude: *.jpg.zip et *.gif.zip, which are previews). In 3DEM, après avoir décompressé ces 10 fichiers, sélectionner l'option GTOPO30 Tile puis dans la nouvelle fenêtre représentant la carte du monde, centrer le cadre sur la région d'intérêt et spécifier comme projection Lat/Lon. Naviguer dans l'arborescence et sélectionner le fichier .DEM.

Rivers

Lakes:

  • Great for maps conventions ! Naturalearthdata.com: Lakes & reservoirs (10m-lakes) (2009, Public domain). Specifics: major lakes polygons layer(s), whole earth, projection Geographic projection(?), datum WSG84. Files: compressed file 870Kb, uncompressed file 2.2Mb, whole Earth, 1 tiles. —♣ Comment(s): Perfect for very large to local location maps/topographic maps. Smaller lakes to add handily. Additional GIS files: for historic, pluvial, north america, and Europe lakes, click on 'specifics'.

Coastline:

  • Great for maps conventions ! Naturalearthdata.com: Coastline (10m-coastline) (2009, Public domain). Specifics: coastlines layer(s), whole earth, projection Geographic projection(?), datum WSG84. Files: compressed file 2.6Mb, uncompressed file 6.5Mb, whole Earth, 1 tiles. —♣ Comment(s): Perfect for very large to local location maps/topographic maps. Islands >2km², for smaller ones, see GIS source "Minor islands".
  • Naturalearthdata.com: Minor islands (10m-minor-islands) (2009, Public domain). Specifics: coastlines layer(s), whole earth, projection Geographic projection(?), datum WSG84. Files: compressed file 450Kb, whole Earth, 1 tiles. —♣ Comment(s): Islands <2km². Perfect for very small location maps/topographic maps. In support of "10m-coastline".
  • Great for maps conventions ! openstreetmapdata.com: Water polygons (2019, ODBL). Specifics: coastlines layer(s), whole earth, projection Geographic projection(), datum WSG84. Files: . —♣ Comment(s): Polygons for oceans and seas. These polygons are split into smaller overlapping chunks that are easier and faster to work with. The data has been derived from OpenStreetMap ways tagged with natural=coastline.

Bathymetry

  • Great for maps conventions ! Naturalearthdata.com: Bathymetry vector (10m-bathymetry-all) (2009, Public domain). Specifics: major lakes polygons layer(s), whole earth, projection Geographic projection(?), datum WSG84. Files: compressed file 14.15Mb, uncompressed file 33.6Mb, whole Earth, 1 tiles. —♣ Comment(s): For vector topographic map: speed up vectorization since it provide light vector for the sea.

Atmospheric

  • {{{publisher}}}: [{{{url_download}}} Blue Marble:Clouds]. Specifics: . Files: .

NASA: ' (2002, CC-by-sa). Specifics: Example of Earth's cloud coverage layer(s), whole planet, projection ?, datum ?. Files: uncompressed file 34Mb, whole Earth, 1 tiles. —'♣ Comment(s): Not a GeoTIF, and thus, not georeferenced, but can be a powerful tool to add realistic clouds to other planets than Earth, as explained in this Mars example..
