#23005 new enhancement
[WIP patch] Add preset railway=derail
| Reported by: | tomasmarklund | Owned by: | team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | normal | Milestone: | |
| Component: | Internal preset | Version: | |
| Keywords: | railway derail | Cc: |
Description (last modified by )
The tag is is documented on Tag:railway=derail.
There are currently (2023-06-13) 12279 nodes with this tag. See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/railway=derail#overview.
It should be placed in presets/transport/railway, above "buffer stop".
Suitable combinations could be (like most of the other railway presets)
- ref
- operator
and maybe also
- railway:derail:local_operated=yes/no
(inspired by railway:switch:local_operated=yes/no)
I know that there already are 2116 existing derails with tag railway:local_operated=yes, but I guess that they REALLY should be railway:derail:local_operated=yes/no instead?

Ok,leave out the local_operated, but include ref and operator at least.
No, unfortunately I don't have an icon. I guess i could create one though. Are there any "rules for icons" I can read somewhere?

I added an icon now, see attachments. However, I am not sure how visible it is. A derail is a fairly small feature, and shrinked to 16px doesn't really help :-(
Yes, I forgot earlier: A derail should only be possible to select for nodes. Not ways or relations.

Oh, that's a nice icon, although I'm not sure if the derail feature is visible enough.
For testing, you can utilise the Styles/IconTester mappaint style.

I used the "rail.svg" and added the derail feature :-)
I know, that's the problem. If the icon shows a complete section of track, the derail will only be a few pixles at most. And if I would zoom in, it will look like a normal switch :-(
I'll look into the IconTester mappaint style.. tomorrow.

Another icon attached, this time more visible. Viewed from the side rather than from above.

Note to anyone who is going to check the patch; the icon has a viewBox="0 0 15 16", it should be viewBox="0 0 16 16".
I'm not sure about the tagging. A simple preset with an icon is should be fine. Speaking about icon, @tomasmarklund do you have one ready to use?
