Question regarding style conversion

demiantres opened this issue · comments

Hi,

First, thanks for creating the styles! In the docs the following is stated:

This repository contains Mapbox GL styles usable with QtPBFImagePlugin for each schema. The styles are usualy copies (sometimes with minor tweaks) of the original styles created by Mapbox, Openmaptiles or Apollo Mapping before they have moved to the new style format (expressions).

Have you moved the styles manually to the new format, or is this done with a script/tool?

It's not me who has "moved" the style syntax from property functions to expressions, it's Mapbox. The property functions (supported by QtPBFImagePlugin) are the original way the styles were designed. But then Mapbox came with the expressions syntax (which may be a little bit more powerful than the property functions) and started to rewrite the styles to the "new technology". The styles here are simply the last versions before the rewrite took place.

Got it. Thanks!
