Mapping Visualization

Tools being used:

  • Mapbox - the map design and data layering is all created using the Mapbox/Leaflet Api. For the design aspect, we took a template from Mapbox. Added a few custom design features. For the data, I wrote the code to reformat it into a geojson. I read that data into the map using a function from Leaflet.

  • Javascript/JQuery - Use JQuery to select sub-sections of the html page which allows us to store user clicks into global variables. These global variables are then concatenated to form the URL and/or directory where the geojson files will be stored.

  • html/css - used to add additional features and functionality to the map

  • Ajax

  • Bootstrap - Twitter bootstrap has functions that make it easy to design dropdown menus.
