Re: Display problem on M1 Mac

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...

Re: Display problem on M1 Mac

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.

Re: Dot distribution maps of world population

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...

Re: Dot distribution maps of world population

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...

Re: Dot distribution maps of world population

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...

Re: Dot distribution maps of world population

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...

Re: Maps Based on Heezen-Tharp

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.

Re: Chalker Continental Composites

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...

Re: The Chalker Continental series

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 ...
