Hi!
So far 133 copies of Deep Into Pharo have been sold. I used Roassal2 to visualize
countries
Here is a screenshot:
The data are embedded within the distribution of Roassal2. Just execute:
RTMetricMap new example06DeepIntoPharo
and you will get the same rendering.
The map builder has attracted some interest. Here is a small example on how you can render
you own data.
First of all, you need some data. Usually, you get data in a tabular table. For example, I
just stumbled on
http://www.gdbridge.org/gdb_index
I copy and paste the small columns on the right hand side of the web page into a string in
a workspace.
I then convert the third column as floats. I paint all countries in white. I then paint
countries from the table using the first column as a name, and the third column as a color
gradient
