File talk:BlankMap-World-Flattened.svg

Anyone knows if the "flat" produced by the python script is a true Mercator projection ?

• It's the equirectangular projection. Transparent 6lue (talk) 08:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
  • It's neither equirectangular projection nor mercator projection. See also File talk:BlankMap-World6.svg#Notice that I wrote. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 10:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

How to get this map as a shapefile?

Hello, Wiki crew!

Firstly, sorry for my imperfect English - I am not a native speaker.

I will try to be brief as possible. I am doing something like dissertation (on lower level) and my topic is "Unrecognized countries and territorial disputes". My goal is to create maps as an attachment of the work. So I have downloaded QGIS and shapefile layers of administrative areas of the countries and coloured the regions controlled by rebels (e.g. ISIS).

Now I want to export these maps so that the unrecognized countries my work is focused on are well-marked and highlighted. I find the Wiki blank maps like this as a very elegant for the background of my maps but there lies the problem - I need a shapefile (and open source, if possible :-) version of these amazing blank maps in order to import them to my QGIS project.

So here are my questions: 1) Where can I find the shapefiles of these (or similar) maps? 2) Or is there a way how to get the .shp layer (including the coordinate system) from the .svg file?

I would be very grateful for any instruction, advice or tip! Have a nice day!

P.S. I will check this "Talk" section but you can also answer me via e-mail (frantisek-kopriva(at)seznam.cz) in order to avoid this off-topic Q&A and delete my question.

Tooltips

@Alex Great: , @Biercenator: @Flappiefh: @Underlying lk: I think it would be nice to have tooltips (title element). Is there any reason against this? --MartinThoma (talk) 22:31, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Code is not in a good shape

The worldmap code is Python 2, which has been dead since 2020. I did run 2to3 on it, but some things just don't make me want to touch the code any more. Artoria2e5 contribs 11:21, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
