On Neatline
Forums » Neatline: Timeline etc.
Creating themes for individual Neatline exhibits. This lets you design the layout and appearance of one or more Neatline exhibitions. It does, however, involve writing css, php and javascript code on the server.
WMS-Layers
In order to have a WMS layer (geogreferred raster map) from the NYPL collection as background for your exhibitions, please follow these steps:
- Find the map here: http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps?show_warped=1
- Choose Export and copy the WMS Capabilities URL.
- Open the Exhibit Settings for the exhibition you want the WMS layer in.
- Past into the WMS Address and then remove the question mark and everything after that. The result should be something like this: http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps/wms/11925
- Write Map Warper WMS into the WMS Layers field and save
- In the exhibition, choose the map from the layers selector:
The same method should work for all rectified maps from https://mapwarper.net/ (see also below).
Rectification
In order to to have scanned maps connected to GIS systems and linked to other layers they must be rectified. This is a semi-automatic model for which there are both desktop tools (ArcGIS and QGIS can both be used) and online tools.
One example of an online tool: https://mapwarper.net.
