taginfo: paving_stones:*

This page describes a key prefix rather than a simple key.

Describes an element with surface=paving_stones in detail such as the shape of the stones and pattern of the paving. Note that for tags like surface:colour=* and surface:material=* are properties of surface=* than specifically to paving_stones.

Subtags

From Proposed_features/Paving_stone_details:

• paving_stones:shape=*: shape of the tiles, see Shape section below.
• paving_stones:pattern=*: how they are arranged, see Pattern section below.
• paving_stones:length=* and paving_stones:width=*: dimensions. For square tiles, only the length need be given. With patterns that use multiple sizes (e.g. "tudor"), the dimension of the largest stone in the pattern is considered. Example: 30 cm (unit can be included to avoid confusion, though paving_stones:length=0.3 with meters as default is the most common by far).
• paving_stones:direction=* or paving_stones:orientation=*: rotation of the pattern, see Direction section below.
• paving_stones:material=*: some paving_stones are made of concrete, and some are made of stone, see Material section below. Note that this has huge overlap with material=* and surface:material=*.

Shape

paving_stones:shape=* describes the shape of the individual paving stones. The following are some possible values:

• 
  paving_stones:shape=square
• 
  paving_stones:shape=rectangle
• 
  paving_stones:shape=hexagon
• 
  paving_stones:shape=zigzag
• 
  paving_stones:shape=double_t
• 
  paving_stones:shape=squarish_octagon
• 
  paving_stones:shape=s-shape
• 
  paving_stones:shape=irregular

Pattern

paving_stones:pattern=* describes how the paving stones are arranged. Not all combinations of shape/pattern are physically possible.

• 
  paving_stones:pattern =stack_bond
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =half_bond
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =quarter_bond
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =herringbone
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =basket_weave
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =tudor
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =linen
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =interleaved
• 
  paving_stones:pattern =random_course

Direction

paving_stones:direction=* describes the orientation of the paving stone pattern relative to north. It uses the syntax for direction=* angles. With an angle of 0, the patterns look as depicted in Pattern section (above) on a north-oriented map.

Alternatively, paving_stones:orientation=* can be used to describe the orientation of the paving stone pattern relative to the way direction. In addition to angles, this key also accepts the values along and across.

Material

Values for this tag can use those mentioned in material=*, such as stone/concrete/brick.
