Specifying color for data points in large file

[ramyaragupathy]

@ericfischer Is there an option to specify a color code for a huge dataset using encode? In my case, there is a .osm file for buildings in SF Peninsula and I want the output gif from osm-animate to be shown in some bright color.

Datamaps is basically unmaintained at this point, and all the recent development is on Tippecanoe.

Datamaps only has one metadata field per feature, and osm-animate uses it for the time stamp, so it is not available to encode a color for each object. If you just want everything to have a color, you can use the -c option to render to specify one hex color that applies to everything.
