|
<p>Very often when you are working in an international organization, there are data that I want to represent on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blank_maps#World">world map</a>. I often end up doing it by hand, but there must be a code already existing somewhere.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My requirements are simple: </p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/BlankMap-World6.svg">world SVG map</a> with country id codes</li>
|
|
<li>A (html) table with the list of countries and associated data</li>
|
|
<li>A scale where values in a specific range get a specific color</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Given this input I would like to get a colored map such as this <a href="http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/cartes/eaupotable">map for drinkable water access</a> by Philippe Rekacewicz. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If it doesn't exist yet, it could be a nice and very useful tool for everyone else. If it exists, please leave a comment. </p>

<p>Hello. I've built a Flash file that does this (shades countries based on a XML file containing data). It took quite a while though. </p>

<p>Hi Roberto,</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That's cool. Do you think it would be difficult to update it and output SVG?
|
|
Would you be ready to open source the code?</p>

<p>There are loads of blank SVG world maps on the Wikimedia Commons; see <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Blank" rel="nofollow">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Blank</a><em>SVG</em>maps<em>of</em>the_world — though I think they're all Mercator projections, not Peters.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 9.2 of SAS(R) now has support for SVG output. A World SVG map that you describe could be created using the gmap procedure from SAS/GRAPH software. More details about the SVG driver can be found in the SAS(R) 9.2 Language Reference: Concepts:
