Alright, thank you for your reply! At the moment, the solution I prefer is to buy a new Mac but keep my current Mac up and running so that I can use it for Geocart if necessary. And then, I’ll hope for the best; but if the worst should happen: Do you konw if Geocart is compatible to Windows 11 on Ar...

A belated Happy New Year to you, daan, and everyone else!

Disregarding your “don’t call us, we call you” line …
Are there any news regarding this matter?
I’d like to buy a new computer soon, so I have to think about the options.

A better option could be to dynamically size the subdivisions so that each cell contains one dot's worth of population I bet that then again you run into the problem of overlapping dots in heavily populated areas. Moving dots far from their correct locations would be silly and unrepresentative, but...

One more thought … I also think displacing dots to avoid overlap could be a good idea I completely disagree here. That would, so to speak, move a lot of people to a place where they actually do not live. Which is, in my opinion, even worse than using a non-equal area map. Edit: OK, on second thought...

Dots overlapping each other makes it impossible to count the number of dots in a region. When dots fully blanket an area, very different densities can look exactly the same. That’s true, that’s very inconvenient . But still, I believe that avoiding overlaps is, regrettably, impossible . Look at thi...

but the maps I've found use a non–equal-area projection I agree, that IS a nuisance! and/or let dots overlap each other Ummm. Are we thinking about different things here? To me, a dot distribution map looks like this , and there, overlapping dots are not a dealbreaker but impossible to avoid in den...

Oh, I’d LOVE to have a map like that! I remember seeing the Heezen-Tharp (at least, the Atlantic ocean floor part) in a schoolbook – and I think I didn’t listen to what the teacher said in that lessen because I was staring at the map all the time. A few years ago, I tried to generate a map like this...

No, that image was composed in Geocart out two instances of the “generalized Wagner” and one of the azimuthal equal-area projection. But it should be able to do that in d3, as well.

While nice to have, it's debatable whether or not this property is essential. Hmmm. To me, this simply doesn’t work, not even in a artistic application. Because it feels like two unrelated maps – there is “no flow” (don’t know if it’s clear what I’m meaning here). (Note: That is not the original as...

Looks like it may require a local JSON server? Ah yes. I always forget to mention that because I’ve got a local web server set up anyway so I run those scripts there. The easiest way to use one is probably something like XAMPP but as far as I remember you can also solve this problem by disabling a ...
