Summary

Part 2 of #682, after #698: layout.publication adds a locator that shows where the mapped area is.

layout.publication={"profile": "a4-portrait", "extent": [-46.8, -11.6, -38.5, -2.2], "title": "PIAUÍ", "locator": "globe"}
  • "locator": "globe" (a sheet's default):
    • It adds a new map, "‹map› Locator". The map holds the active map's polygon layers on the globe, with their labels off. No rasters, streamed layers, points or lines, which would clutter a small disc or read their sources again.
    • The map is shown in a round frame at the map frame's top left, clear of the graticule's labels.
    • The globe is centred on the area and nearly fills its frame. Its scale comes from the globe disc the renderer itself lays out for that frame (Globe::new(..).disc_radius()), since a globe's size goes as one over the scale. This doesn't rely on a measured constant.
  • "locator": "inset": the surrounding region on the active map itself, about four times the area across, in a rectangular frame at the same corner. No new map.
  • "locator": "none" (a figure's default): no locator.
  • The area is outlined on either locator by the existing extent indicator (extent_of the map frame), in red.
  • The legend stops short of the locator, as it already did of the scale bar.
  • Undo takes the globe's map away with the layout, since both are in the command's snapshot.
  • The result names the locator's map ("locator").
  • Docs: the publication layouts section of layouts.md, and the assistant's print-layout skill.

Not in this PR: part 3 of #682, which chooses corners by data coverage, warns of overlaps, and adds decimal.

Testing

  • publication_layouts_locate_their_area (engine) checks:
    • the default globe on a sheet: a new globe map, polygons only, the active map unchanged;
    • the round frame at the top left, outlining the map frame, with the legend below it;
    • the inset: no new map, a coarser scale, the area outlined;
    • "none", and a figure's default of none;
    • a bad value refused;
    • undo removing the globe's map with the layout.
  • I checked the exported A4 visually: the globe fills its round frame, with the area outlined.
  • cargo fmt --all --check and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings are clean.
  • rustgis-engine layout and publication tests (20, with hostile_params_never_panic), rustgis-assistant 206 and rustgis-render 136 pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Publication layouts can now include a globe locator, an inset map, or no locator. Sheets default to a globe locator; figures default to none.
    • Locator maps show the publication area outlined in red, and the legend is positioned to avoid the locator.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the layout guide with locator options and defaults.

… area outlined (opengeos#682, part 2)

layout.publication takes "locator": "globe" (a sheet's default: a new map
of the map's polygon layers on the globe, unlabelled, in a round frame at
the map's top left, sized from the renderer's own globe disc), "inset" (the
surrounding region on the map itself) or "none" (a figure's default). The
map frame's extent indicator outlines the area on either; the legend stops
short of it; undo takes the globe's map away with the layout.

📝 Walkthrough

Publication layouts now support globe, inset, and no-locator options. The command selects defaults based on layout type, adds locator frames when requested, adjusts legend space, and returns the locator map name or null.

Changes: Publication layout locators

Layer / File(s) Summary
Locator options and defaults
crates/assistant/skills/print-layout/SKILL.md, crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs
The command and assistant instructions list the globe, inset, and none options. Sheets default to globe; figures default to none. Invalid options return an error.
Locator frames and layout integration
crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, docs/user-guide/layouts.md
Globe mode adds a globe map and circular frame. Inset mode uses the active map and a rectangular frame. Both show the publication extent. The layout reserves space below the locator for the legend and returns the locator map name, or null. Tests cover the options, export, invalid values, and undo behavior. Documentation describes the options and appearance.

Some globe locators may show unwanted map content, and tightly spaced sheets may have an overlapping legend. The change is mergeable with those limitations understood, though both should be fixed.

The legend leaves the frame some space.

The globe map is a full clone() of the active map, and only layers is filtered. tiles (web tile layers), basemap, swipe, time, graticule and service_groups/groups carry over, and the comment says "no raster or streamed layer … read again". render/src/tiles.rs draws map.tiles over the basemap. A map with a web tile basemap would then fetch and draw tiles on the small locator disc, and swipe/time could hide layers or clip it. Consider clearing these on the copy, e.g. m.tiles.clear(); m.swipe = None; m.time = None; m.graticule = false;, and dropping groups entries for the removed layers. Confidence: medium. I did not trace the globe renderer's handling of basemap.

Smaller: the clone copies every feature of every layer before retain drops the non-polygon ones. For a large project that is a transient memory spike. Polygon layers are also drawn unsimplified on a ~25–70 mm disc, which could be slow for dense layers.

Code review

The PR adds a locator option to layout.publication: a globe, an inset or none. The logic is mostly sound. All the early refusals (lines 666, 703 and 722) come before the globe map is pushed. The legend height now leaves room for the locator. The globe scale comes from the renderer's own disc radius instead of a measured constant. I could only read the code in this run, so I did not run any tests.

Bugs

  • The cloned globe map keeps more than its layers (medium confidence). s.map().clone() is filtered only on layers. tiles, basemap, swipe, time, graticule and groups carry over. The code comment promises no streamed layers read again, but the renderer draws map.tiles, so web tile basemaps could be fetched and drawn on the small disc. Clear those fields on the copy. I posted this as an inline comment.
  • The legend can still overlap the locator on very small frames (low confidence). room_h is floored at 10.0 mm, so when fh - top - bottom - below_locator is smaller than that, the legend box overlaps the locator.

Performance

  • Clone before filter (low confidence). The full map, including all feature data, is cloned and then filtered. Polygon layers are also drawn unsimplified on a tiny disc.

Quality

  • The test comment overstates what is checked. The comment says "drawn, its ink spans most of the frame's width", but the test only asserts scale > 1e7 and checks that the export succeeds. The PNG's pixels are never inspected. The test also exports to a temp directory without checking the output.
  • Empty globe. If the map has no polygon layers, an empty globe map is still created and added to the project. It might be better to fall back to no locator, or to add a warning.
  • Inset size. The inset scale formula is scale * fw / side * 4.0. The magic 4.0 is documented only in the docs, so a named constant would help.

Security

  • No issues. The locator parameter is validated against a fixed set of values, and the value goes through as_str() with an error for anything else.

AGENTS.md

  • No violations found:
    • The new code has no unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code.
    • The new error string is not wrapped in tl!, which is consistent with the other command errors.
    • Docs and the assistant skill were updated.
    • The hostile_params_never_panic test covers junk parameters generically. A bad locator value is tested explicitly.

Exclude the source map's basemap and tile layers from the globe locator.

The current filter only removes entries from m.layers. Globe rendering still draws map.basemap, map.graticule, and map.tiles, so tile imagery, overlays, and the built-in basemap can appear in a locator intended to contain only the active map's polygon layers.

Suggested fix

Do not force the legend into the locator's space.

If a sheet's text leaves a map frame near the permitted 40 mm minimum, the locator is at least 25 mm high. The top and bottom reservations leave less than 10 mm for the legend. room_h.max(10.0) still gives the legend 10 mm, so its box can overlap the locator. When the available height is too small, omit or relocate the legend and add a warning instead of imposing a minimum height.
