:mountain: Rocky

Rocky is a 3D Geospatial C++ SDK. <img align="right" width="200" alt="Screenshot 2023-02-22 124318" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/326618/220712284-8a17d87a-431f-4966-a425-0f2628b23b40.png">

Rocky will render an accurate 3D or 2D map with real geospatial imagery and elevation data. It supports thousands of map projections and many popular geodata sources including GeoTIFF, TMS, OpenStreetMap, WMTS, WMS, and Azure Maps. Rocky's data model is inspired by the osgEarth SDK, a 3D GIS toolkit created in 2008 and still in wide use today.

This project is in its early stages so expect a lot of API and architectural changes before version 1.0.

A simple Rocky application

main.cpp

#include <rocky/vsg/Application.h>
#include <rocky/TMSImageLayer.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    rocky::Application app(argc, argv);

    auto imagery = rocky::TMSImageLayer::create();
    imagery->setURI("https://readymap.org/readymap/tiles/1.0.0/7/");
    app.map()->layers().add(imagery);

    return app.run();
}

Dependencies

• cpp-httplib
• entt
• GDAL (optional)
• glm
• nlohmann-json
• openssl (optional)
• proj
• spdlog
• sqlite3 (optional)
• vsgXchange (optional)
• VulkanSceneGraph
• weejobs

Building

Rocky comes with a handy Windows batch file to automatically configure the project using vcpkg:

bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

That will download and build all the dependencies (takes a while) and generate your CMake project and Visual Studio solution file.

Running

Set up a couple environment variables so Rocky can find its data.

set ROCKY_FILE_PATH=%rocky_install_dir%/share
set ROCKY_DEFAULT_FONT=C:/windows/fonts/arialbd.ttf
set PROJ_DATA=%proj_install_dir%/share/proj

If you built with vcpkg you will also need to add the dependencies folder to your path; this will normally be found in vcpkg_installed/x64-windows (or whatever platform you are using).

rdemo

There are some example JSON map files in the data folder. Load them with the --map option.

rdemo --map data\openstreetmap.map.json

Use --help to see all command line options.
