use of osmnx for local OSM files

[sevamoo]

Thanks a lot for your great and neat work @gboeing
What am I writing is not an issue, so I hope it is OK to post it here.
I am wondering if it is possible to use local sources of OSM instead of downloading from OSM server?
What I am interested is to take .png pics (e.g. only roads or only roads and buildings) of up to million locations in different continents.
So far, I am using static API of Mapbox with a certain styled map.
I have more info about my project here
Thanks in advance.

Potentially, but it would take some hacking of OSMnx. If you're up for it, the key function would be ox.create_graph: https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx/blob/master/osmnx/core.py#L1134

This function takes a list of JSON responses from the Overpass API and turns them into a networkx graph. You could load your existing downloaded data (it would have to be in the correct format, as returned by the Overpass API), and pass it into create_graph. It wouldn't necessarily be easy, but it's possible.

Thanks. I will give it a try and update you here, if it worked.

@sevamoo this "graph from .osm file" functionality has been added in #95
