Does anyone know if Processing is being used for geospatial visualization? I can't find much out there, but this is impressive: http://benfry.com/zipdecode/

Here's one I just found: http://fathom.info/projects/countyhealth.html

This suggests it has been tried: forum.processing.org/topic/… – nw1 Apr 7 '11 at 13:28
hahaha.That was me asking. Nobody helped. Nevertheless, after some self inflicted pain (I hate Java) I got it working perfectly fine. Ask away, although by now you probably already figured it out :) – Ragi Yaser Burhum Feb 7 '12 at 17:55

Some examples:

I've seen a lot of others like these--do you mean to ask about a more specific kind of visualization?

these are great! do you know of any code out there? i'm most interested in events along a street network, like the bus arrivals. – nw1 Apr 7 '11 at 14:03
I've read Ben Fry's book, but haven't had a chance to do much personally. Just in searching, these might be good places to start: 1) London Tube Map (with code): tom-carden.co.uk/p5/tube_map_travel_times/applet 2) Processing Tutorials: processing.org/learning 3) Processing Wiki: wiki.processing.org/w/Main_Page – neuhausr Apr 8 '11 at 13:45

I'm not sure if this threat is still up, but UnfoldingMaps is a library for map display, map interaction and geovisualisation for Processing.

Some examples here: http://unfoldingmaps.org/

I'm doing some work in this area myself, so if you're interested, get connected.

Cheers! Marcus

giCentre @ CITY University London has created geoMap. It's quite young project but there is some documentation available and code samples.

I had a small question. I actually would like to build an application which is very similar to( http://tillnagel.com/2011/06/tilemill-for-processing/ ) but as a map and not on “Multi touch Table Top”.

The functionality I need is

Plot different cities of California with different radius, the different radius will represent number of times a person has visited a city.

When a person clicks on a city e.g LA it should show plot a polyline to different cities which are nearby. As shown in the link above.

I was wondering if you could help me on this, if you could give me a right direction to start with will be real great.

Thanks

Mehul
