Introduction
Rendering of vector-based maps with control and functions to facilitate analysis of geospatial data.
Status
Unstable: highly dynamic concept development (pre-Alpha): 19 March 2008
Explorer
A GeoVis Explorer is available here to monitor the progress of the component.
Development Plan
Phase I: Architecture and Base
- Logical architecture with a base US States and World Map vector dictionary;
- US States – Census Regions and Sub Regions
- World – Regions and Sub Regions
- Multiple geographic projections
- Features and Symbols
- Events (featureClick, featureDoubleClick, featureRollOver, featureRollOut)
- Styles (CSS styling of map objects and helper classes for RollOver, RollOut)
- Controls and Functions
- Autofit (for map to display properly in container space)
- Zoom and nearestNeighbor
- Flow
- Colorize
Phase II: Annotations and Surrounds - Marker and Glyph objects (Bubble, map symbols, etc.)
- Grids
- Legend
- Scale
Phase III: 3D Rendering - Plane based
- Sphere based
- 3D camera controls (pan, tilt, rotate, etc.)
Phase IV: Coordinate Transforms - Coordinate transforms for projections (Lat/Long)
- Datums
Phase V: GeoSpatial data readers Phase VI: Interface and Utility Classes - Interface classes
- Color Brewer
Phase V: Tile and Raster Libs
