Great article! How did you manage to visualize those maps?
- badrequest 8y agoUnfortunately, I merely found the article. :)

- cbcoutinho 8y agoThese look like maps rendered/exported from GIS software such as ArcGIS.
- RosanaAnaDana 8y agoThose are the default color schemes for QGIS.
- RosanaAnaDana 8y agoI'd put all my fake internet points on it that that was done in QGIS.
- itgoon 8y agoPretty safe bet, since that's what the article says. - QGIS, for quick sandboxing and ad hoc visualization - PostGIS, for the actual parcel/zone computations - ogr2ogr, for inserting Shapefile data into PostGIS
- RosanaAnaDana 8y agoDidn't rtfa, just scanned over it and looked at the maps.
- a2civictech 8y agoThanks! Indeed, I used QGIS for visualization and PostGIS for the processing (with a wee bit of ogr2ogr for some data munging). I really want to do something with OpenLayers to make things a bit more interactive (or at least so I don't have to keep taking lots of screenshots), but that involves either serving up huge GeoJSON blobs or hosting GeoServer. I'll need GeoServer soon anyway so I might as well, but it's more backend work than I have free weekends for at the moment. It's on my list for sure, though. By the way, hats off to the awesome QGIS, PostGIS, and GDAL (ogr2ogr) projects. I couldn't have done this nearly as easily without their efforts.
