Prettymaps is a geospatial data visualization library designed to transform raw geographic coordinates into stylized, artistic maps. It functions as an automated generator that retrieves vector data from OpenStreetMap to create custom visualizations for any location worldwide.
The library distinguishes itself through a declarative configuration system that allows users to apply consistent visual themes and design presets across different map layers. By utilizing a procedural drawing engine, it stacks geometric layers onto a coordinate-based canvas, ensuring that geographic features are rendered with specific color palettes and line weights.
The toolset covers the entire lifecycle of map creation, from fetching and cleaning raw spatial data to exporting final designs. It supports the generation of high-resolution outputs in standard image and vector formats, making the resulting maps suitable for both digital media and professional print applications.
