The map in the readme is puzzling me. It's almost like a riddle: what is there a lot of in the UK, east America, Portugal, and barely any of in Norway, Spain, and Belgium? It looks country-related, since you can see the borders defined pretty well. Is it the Starbucks data? It would explain why Finland appears to have a few, compared to its neighbours.
- filleokus 9y agoProbably not Starbucks, way to many mapped in Sweden. Starbucks is not that widely spread here.
- mmcloughlin 9y agoYes the top image in the README is cities. The Starbucks image is lower down in their distinctive green color.
- ucarion 9y agoThere's a cities.go file in the examples, maybe it's that? But the relevant cities.json is not in this repo.
- mbel 9y agoJudging by used color, the picture might be a result of this demo: https://github.com/mmcloughlin/globe/blob/master/examples/cities.go https://github.com/mmcloughlin/globe/blob/master/examples/ci... I have no idea what kind of cities might be listed in 'cities.json'.
- mmcloughlin 9y agoYes, the first image in the README is from cities.go. The data file is too big so I didn't include it in the repo, but the Makefile will fetch it. https://github.com/mmcloughlin/globe/blob/master/examples/Makefile https://github.com/mmcloughlin/globe/blob/master/examples/Ma... It came from this node package https://www.npmjs.com/package/cities.json/ https://www.npmjs.com/package/cities.json/ It looks like the dataset has more cities in some countries than others.
