Kaart: Useful JOSM Filters

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Introduction

Filters allow to either highlight or hide specific features with the downloaded data on JOSM. Included is a list of some useful filters. There are filters for different areas of editing. Each section includes the filter, what it does, and the settings you will need for it to work properly. Combining 2 or more filters help pinpoint searched features very rapidly. Try creating and combining those that will help you out in determined tasks.

Prerequisites

It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with how to create both basic and advanced filters as well as the filter syntax. For more information on filters see the JOSM Filters, Presets, Paint Styles and Validator(link) page.

Quick Reference Guide for Filter Settings
E Enabled:
  • Your filter is active.
H Hide:
  • This will hide the specified data when the filter is enabled.
  • Note: Be aware that this is active while editing to avoid affecting unseen features.
Text Your filter:
  • This is where you can seee your filter.
  • Note: Make sure the syntax of your filter is correct or it won't work/work properly.
I Inverse:
  • This will do the opposite function of the filter. i.e. A filter that filters out non-highway features when inverted will only show those features.
M Mode:

How a filter is combined with filters above it:

  • R = Replace selection: Disables all filters above this one when enabled.
  • A = Add to selection: Makes filters work independently of each other. (Default)
  • D = Remove from selection: Remove all matched elements.
  • F = Find in selection: Locate all matched elements.
