Does anyone have a simple way to make rendered images from osm data? Usually it involves postgres, but I wish there was a renderer that could use the vector til

  OSMs source of truth is not organized around vector tiles, i believe. https://github.com/dfyz/osm-renderer https://github.com/dfyz/osm-renderer might be similar to what you are looking for

  https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker can generate vector tiles directly from *.osm.pbf files. Then serve the vector tiles with leaflet+mapbox-gl-leaflet, mapbox gl js, openlayers 3 or similar. https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles

  The simplest is to fetch the OSM tiles directly (and cache them!) imgurl = "https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/{0}/{1}/{2}.png".format(zoom, xtile, ytile) the tricky part is to known which xtile, ytile to fetch, but Stack Overflow has the answer [1]. Then you can draw over them with `PIL` and also `cairo`, in order to lay SVG shapes onto the map. Cairo is somewhat hard to grasp, because it is outdated, but it draws perfectly smooth lines.

  if you think postgres is challenging, try mapnik directly!
