#30DayMapChallenge | Day 19 - Projections

For today's challenge, I chose to use the β€œd3.geoAiry” projection for the first time, along with world population data by country.

Tools: D3

What I like most about D3 is having complete freedom to do whatever I want based on an idea. Its scales and functions make calculations that can sometimes be complex much simpler.

Using R (and R Studio) for the first time was confusing, but I found it impressive in its simplicity. The lines of code required are significantly fewer compared to D3, which also involves HTML and CSS.

D3: 386
R: 81

Whose Grid Map is better? Quality Metrics for Grid Map Layouts Grid Map has become quite popular lately. However, multiple publishers had already developed slightly different map layouts. How should one…

I enjoy creating grid maps, especially when I can incorporate additional variables and experiment with filling in the squares. I recommend reading this article that discusses their application and the differences between various publishers' versions: kristw.medium.com/whose-grid-m...

I'm excited to participate in the #30DayMapChallenge for the first time! The challenge started a few days ago, and due to my limited time and my experiments with Blender, I haven't had the chance to publish my maps yet. While I'm not sure if I'll be able to create all 30 maps...
