maptiler

Tests written for: maptiler 1.0 all versions
Test Description last updated: 11.3.2010
Steps

you need an GeoTIFF or other raster geodata to test the functionality. So download for example this: http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/utm.tif (when you use Firefox it will automatically save the files into ~/Downloads).
start MapTiler: click on "Applications" -> "Graphics" -> "MapTiler"
in the MapTiler application select on the first page "Google Maps compatible" tiles and click "Continue"
in the second page of wizard add the tiff, it should be ~/Downloads/utm.tif and click "Continue"
continue trough all other steps in the wizard (default options are fine) and then start "Render"
when the rendering is finished you will see a link to the directory with tiles, click to open it (it opens in Firefox as a directory)
open the "googlemaps.html", you should see a black&white overlay displayed on top of Google Maps hybrid layer. You can also open "openlayers.html" to see another presentation of the results.

Verify that ...

MapTiler application starts without problems when clicked on the icon
When you press on "Render" applications starts the processing and does not report any error.

Alternative "real" geodata for testing are for example USGS maps or NOAA RNCs.

test results from 11.3.2010: Run by: Klokan Petr Pridal; System: VMWare Fusion, 512MB RAM in virtual machine, on MacOSX Leopard; Version: arramagong livedvd 3.0 rc4; Results: Pass

Another way to try it:

Start MapTiler by clicking the icon on the Desktop
Load in the second step example raster GEODATA (with georerence/srs)
Go trough all the steps with 'Next' up to the Render
Once the render is finished you can click in the GUI to open a folder with tiles. When you open googlemaps.html or openlayers.html then you see your geodata warped to the overlay of popular interactive web maps as Google Maps.

The map tiles are displayed directly from your disk. To publish the map to Internet just upload the folder with tiles to any webserver or Amazon S3"

FIXME: These instructions are not tested! Just off the top of my head.

open GeoTiff

where on the disc is one?

(if needed geotiff and shapefile export could be added to the GRASS testing procedure to make some)

open PostGIS data I

From the menu: Layer → Add PostGIS Layer ...
PostgreSQL Connections: [New]

    Name: medford
    Host: localhost
    Database: medford
    Port: 5432
    username: user
    password: user
    SSL Mode: allow

   Test Connect should show success
   select sample point, line and poly layers
   view selected data

open PostGIS data: (run the PostGIS test first so that the osm_barcelona DB exists!)

From the menu: Layer → Add PostGIS Layer ...
PostgreSQL Connections: [New]

Name: ________ "OpenStreetMap Import" 
Database: ____ "osm_barcelona"

Click on [Test Connect], with luck you will get a message that the connection to the database was successful.
Click [Ok] to close the New Database window.
Click on [Connect] in the top left of the Add PostGIS Table window. You should see a listing of tables come up.
Click on all of the table names to highlight them.
Click on [Add] at the bottom.
After some moments you should see the data displayed in the main map canvas.
Zoom, pan, query as you like.

This should at least prove to you that the database is correctly populated and running.

open shapefile

where on the disc is one?
From the menu: Layer → Add Vector Layer ...

Do not select New Vector Layer ... (that's for creating new data, not opening existing data)

Dataset: [Browse]

? where on disc ?

Ctrl-click on each of the *.shp files in that directory, then click [Open] and finally [Ok]
After some momements you should see the data displayed in the main map canvas.
Because the some of the shapefiles use a different map projection than the PostGIS database, things may not line up exactly. In the Settings → Projection Properties, Coordinate Reference System tab, you can tick the [•] Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation box to overlay them. Be warned that this is computationally expensive and the layer may need to have its CRS set manually.
Zoom, pan, query as you like. Drag layer names up and down in the left-pane list to change their position in the stack.

open OSM data

need to enable plugin?
open /usr/local/share/osm/Barcelona.osm.bz2

Test the GRASS plugin

(it's installed, right?)
Go menu "Plugins, Pluginmanager, activate "GRASS plugin", OK button: a set of new buttons should appear
open location/mapset → ~/grassdata/spearfish90/PERMANENT
click "Add GRASS raster layer" button, select "elevation" map
click "Add GRASS raster layer" button, select "elevation_shade" map
click right mouse button in legend on "elevation_shade" map, move transparency to 40%
click "Add GRASS vector layer" button, select "roadsmajor" map, select layer "1-line" (level 1 is the topological level), OK

R

double click on the R Icon
at the command line, type demo(graphics) and hit return
follow the prompt and watch the target window for examples

If it is possible please add steps here to test the included geostats packages, they are both more interesting and more likely to have problems in the build. tx

e.g. something with r-cran-maps(.deb), gstat, sp, rgdal, or spgrass6 ?

#Load a library
library(sp)
#list the demos available
demo()
#Run the demo from the sp package
#This will step you through several examples of code and the resulting plots
