Python tools for manipulating InvisiSign map data

QGIS Plugin

The QGIS Plugin provides tools for importing and exporting InvisiSign map data.

Importing

The import tool generates a pair of Shapefile layers which contain the Navigable Spaces and Landmarks of an encoded Navatar Map. It does not visualize the MiniMap or Particles so it can be run on unprocessed files.

Exporting

The export tool scans all of the available vector layers in the active project and generates map files for all of the buildings that it encounters.

The following tables show the fields that the layer must contain and how they map to the Protocol Buffer messages and OSM features.

Point Layer fields

Points represent Landmarks

Field	Type	OSM	Navatar	Example
name	string		name	2600S
type	string		type	DOOR
level	int	level	level	1
indoor	string	indoor		door
wheelchair	string	wheelchair		yes
amenity	string	amenity		toilets
access	string	access		public

Polygon Layer fields

Polygons represent both Buildings and Navigable Areas

Field	Type	OSM	Navatar	Example
name	string		name	LIBRARY
level	int		level	1
indoor	string	indoor		area
ref	string	ref		2600
building	string	building		yes
