Chapter 7. Creating Maps and Cartographic Visualizations Using GeoJSON
In the previous chapter, you learned about transitions and animations; now, think about animating features on geographic visualization because we will take a look at cartographic visualization and GeoJSON. In this chapter, you will learn the following:
- Understanding the different challenges of cartographic visualizations
- Understanding the geometric coordinate system
- Learning about the GeoJSON format
- Understanding the problems of GeoJSON and the advantages of TopoJSON
- Learning about 3D to 2D projections
- Getting familiar with helpful tools for cartographic visualizations
- Creating color scales
- Drawing GeoJSON features
- Loading multiple resources at once
- Drawing geographic grids
- Implementing different types of geographic visualizations
In the first section, we will look into the ecosystem of cartographic visualizations and understand different challenges and problems that occur when dealing with such visualizations. First,...
