For the cutline logic, the following 2 images are being used for testing


1927 Area of Eiskeller, Berlin-Spandau, Falkensee, Brandenburg

  • these are 2 maps of the 1:4000 series (4366 and **4365)
  • taken together, both maps correspond to today's 1:5000 map (436B)
  • the original images was downloaded from the WMS-Server of
  • These images were then (re) georeferenced with a 2010 version the 436B map
    • in the QGIS image below, shown as the red lines
  • The geometry is based on the property found on the 2010 version the 436B map
    • the city district of Spandau around 1928
      • which is a MULTIPOLYGON
        • one POLYGON being the main district (Upper/Right hand area)
          • with 5 interior rings (enclaves)
            • 3 of which can be seen here
        • 6 POLYGON's being exclaves
          • one of which can be seen here (Lower/Right)

The goal of the 'Cutline option' will be to show:

  • main POLYGON portion
    • with the 3 enclaves being transparent
  • the second POLYGON
    • which will be surrounded as a transparent area

1927 Area of Eiskeller, Berlin-Spandau, Falkensee, Brandenburg


1927 Area of Teufelsbruch, Eiskeller, Berlin-Spandau

  • shows the area to be ['cutout'] (Cutline-Images#teufelsbruch):
    • main POLYGON portion
      • which is only connected by a slim path
    • the 3 enclaves
      • with only the northern portion of the third being shown
