Description

Perl module for creating geographic 10km-square maps using either SVG or PNG (with GD library) output format.

Originally design to map the location of objects in a 10 km map IrishGrid includes:

• native support of the Irish Grid System (see http://www.osi.ie/)
• optimize for speed (there's as less as possible data to conversion)
• customized color functions

As input file, IrishGrid uses a text comma separated format (CSV). Each line represents a record (in chronological order). The first field defined the color (red, green, blue, black, grey, white), the second the position (using the Irish Grid System).

  example.csv

  blue, O008741
  red, C948454
  ...

Examples

  # SVG file
  ./irishgrid.pl --in=example.csv --svg > mymap.svg

  # PNG file with 10 pixels squares
  ./irishgrid.pl --in=example.csv --size=10 > mymap.png
