[Qgis-user] How can I export Vector & Raster layers together to import into mapshaper

[Ben Hur Pintor]

Hi Kris,

I see. As I mentioned, you can't save the XYZ tile layer as a local file
(either as a raster or vector) as it is served as tiles (e.g. images)
served from online.

One solution is to load the XYZ tile layer as a basemap layer in PowerBI.
If this is not available in PowerBI and you need it to be TopoJSON, I'm not
sure it's possible to convert a raster to a TopoJSON while still
maintaining the features shown by the raster image. TopoJSON being
primarily a vector file format and not meant to serve tiles/images. The way
that I know that you can serve vectors as tiles is via Vector Tiles like
MVT (Mapbox Vector Tiles).

If you can load raster data in PowerBI (e.g. georeferenced PNG or TIFF
file), another solution would be for you to create a printable map of the
part you want to save as a raster (e.g. PNG or PDF) and ensure that this
output map is georeferenced. You should then be able to load the raster in
PowerBI if that's a capability PowerBI has.

Unfortunately, if PowerBI can only load TopoJSONs, I don't think you'll be
able to load the OSM tile layer there.

As mentioned by Richard, you can use other basemap providers (in this case
Mapbox) if PowerBI supports them.

I hope this helps,

All the best,
Ben Hur
