Thanks for commenting. You treat the shapefiles you download with the Hot Tool the same as you would do with the Mapzen Metro Extract shapefiles. In other words, In Tilemill, when you create the polygon and lines layers - point to the the those respective shapefiles you downloaded with the Hot Tool. Everything else is the same procedure.
Hi there, I've been learning from your tutorial 'Simulate Cut Maps Art with Photoshop' and been following the Hot Exp Tool instructions. Everything is going great thus far. However I would like to color the land instead of the boundary (as mentioned in the tutorial). How do I do that?
Do You know how to get to display sea in different color. I am trying Riga, Latvia. There is the river enters the sea. River is displaying, but sea is like administrative boundary polygon.
Here's how to add the Sea to your map in Tilemill. Other users might also want to try this method if their city has a coastline with a major body of water. 1. download Coastlines from www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-physical-vectors/ 2. File downloaded as ne_10m_coastline 3. Extract/unzip the shape files to your working directory 4.In Tilemill, add a new layer. Point to the ne_10m_coastline shape file you extracted Name the layer coastline. then drag the layer above the polygons layer 5. Finally add this code below the city code in tilemill #coastline { line-color:#1098b0; line-width:1; polygon-opacity:1; polygon-fill:#1098b0; }
