Command line parameters

CSLMapView now supports a set of command line parameters that specify how it behaves when it starts. For example: start /W cslmapview.exe foo.cslmap.gz -output foo.png -silent

Options

Automation

Option	Parameters	Meaning
-input	fileName	Loads specified cslmap file. If this is the first parameter, -input can be omitted. cslmapview foo.cslmap is same as cslmapview -input foo.cslmap.
-output	fileName	Writes map image to file. It should be specified with -input option, otherwise you'll get blank image file. All of png, jpeg, bmp and svg formats are supported.
-silent		The gui opens with minimized and shutdowns after execution. Since CSLMapView.exe returns control to the shell when it is started up, wait for completion with start /W (cmd.exe) or Start-Process -Wait (PowerShell) when writing batch processing.
-printarea	x1 , y1 , x2 , y2 (0<=value<=1, x2-x1>0, y2-y1>0)	Adds print area. Coordinates must be specified from 0.0 to 1.0 range. For example cslmapview -area 0.333333,0.333333,0.666667,0.666667 Four numbers must be given as one argument. If you would like to insert space use double quotes as cslmapview -area "0.25, 0.25, 0.75, 0.75"
-area	areas(0<value<=9)	Sets target areas. This must be used with -silent.
-imagewidth	outputImageWidth(<=20000)	Sets width of output image. The height will be calculated. If the print area is not specified, this is equal to -canvassize. As for svg, this parameter is meaningless. Use -svgsize instead. This must be used with -silent.
-canvassize	canvasSize(<=20000)	Sets canvas size. This must be used with -silent.
-svgsize	outputSvgImageSize	Sets image size of svg output. This must be used with -silent.

Temporary program configurations

Option	Parameters	Meaning
-locale	localeName	Sets gui's language. For example: cslmapview -locale zh-CN
-log	debug|info	For debugging use.

Examples

Using print area

start /W cslmapview foo.cslmap.gz -printarea 0.5,0.4,0.6,0.6 -output test.png -silent -imagewidth 2000 -area 9

Outputs images for all cslmap files in CSLMapView directory using Windows Power Shell.

powershell
cd X:\foo\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\CSLMapView
ls -File | where{$_.Name.EndsWith(".cslmap") -or $_.Name.EndsWith(".cslmap.gz")} | %{
	$fn = $_.FullName;
	$pos = $_.Name.LastIndexOf(".cslmap");
	$name = $_.Name.Substring(0,$pos) + ".png";
	$a = @("""$fn""","-output","""$name""","-silent");
	Start-Process -Wait .\cslmapview -ArgumentList $a
