# Generate a map from specifications on a wiki ## Prereqs The Hexgrid modules and MWTemplate modules must be in @INC ## Invoking Writes to STDOUT by default; use `-o/--outfile <file>` to write to a `<file>` instead The script has 2 flags controlling files generated: * `--regiondir <dir>`: If specified, also generate maps for each region and location, writing them to files in <dir>. Off by default. * `--html/--no-html`: Whether to generate (an) SVG file(s) or (an) html file(s), including logic for popups on clicks (currently half done). Makes html by default. Examples of the four combinations: 1. `perl wiki-tile.pl -o output/Map.svg --no-html --regiondir output --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php` Creates a main map as an SVG output/Map.svg 2. `perl wiki-tile.pl -o output/Map.svg --no-html --regiondir output --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php` Creates a main map as an SVG output/Map.svg and an SVG for each region and location, also in the output dir 3. `perl wiki-tile.pl -o output/Map.html --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php` Creates a main map with popups as output/Map.html 4. `perl wiki-tile.pl -o output/Map.html --regiondir output --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php` Creates a main map with popups as output/Map.html and an html page for each region and location, also in the output dir 1 is intented to make just a map for the main page. Unnecessary if using 2. 2 is intended to make a map for the main page, and for each Region, Subregion and Location page. 3 is intended to be linked to and ~has~will have click-toggleable popups. 4 is an artifact of the above 3 and doesn't have intended use. ### Options Options can be abbreviated per Getopt::Long <dl> <dt> `--api-url`:</dt> <dd>Base URL of the wiki</dd> </dl> Template names. Defaults to MapRegion, MapSubregion, MapLocation, MapSite. <dl> <dt>--region-template-name</dt><dd></dd> <dt>--subregion-template-name</dt><dd></dd> <dt>--location-template-name</dt><dd></dd> <dt>--site-template-name</dt><dd></dd> </dl> Formatting options. The tiling module supports more overrides including per region/tile granularity. These are not settable in the script but can be added if desired. <dl> <dt>--border-width</dt><dd>Width of the border between hexes. Defaults to 1.</dd> <dt>--border-colour</dt><dd>Colour of the border between hexes. Defaults to black.</dd> <dt>--show-coords</dt> <dd> Include coordinates in the image. Eventual goal is to have them be toggleable in the HTML output mode. </dd> </dl> Output options.
