⛭ Command Line Interface

EOmaps provides a basic command line interface to quickly create simple maps or to get a quick-look at a dataset without having to open an editor.

To start a new EOmaps map from the command-line, simply type eomaps and hit enter.

In addition, the following optional parameters can be provided:

• --help get additional help on how to use the eomaps command

• --crs set the coordinate reference system of the map

• --location query the location via the OpenStreetMap Nominatim service and set the map-extent

• --file a path to a file that should be opened for plotting

• --ne add NaturalEarth features to the map

• --wms add some selected WebMap services to the map

Make sure to checkout the 🧰 Companion Widget which provides a lot of features to customize the map once it’s created!
