Cartograms[edit]
Hi. Saw your Swedish cartograms and thought you might be interested in the request at en:Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Map_workshop#SVG_blank_cartogram_of_world_countries_by_population. /Lokal_Profil 18:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- I was actually looking for a vectorized world map but never managed to find one! The process won't be as straight-forward as with the Swedish map for a couple of reasons. I don't think those reasons are completely insurmountable but they do require a lot of work in processing the map, so I make no promises and ask for patience but no one would be happier than me if we could have some world cartograms in SVG format in the public domain.

- Thanks. Out of curiosity what are the relevant differences making it harder? /Lokal_Profil 16:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, first off the Swedish map is made up of straight lines whereas the world map is made up of some kind of splines (Bézeir curves I think). The other thing is that the world map has areas like San marino or Lake Irkutsk that are totally contained in another area. The Swedish map doesn't have those and my program can't deal with those. There are other small things like the ocean and lakes being areas and not "holes formed by other areas", but basically I need to make a custom converter for the cartogram program, which will be a fair amuont of work.

Länkning till källor[edit]
Hej. För de filer som är grundade på File:SWE-Map Kommuner2007.svg är det bra ifall du kan länka tillbaka till den filen. (t.ex. som gjorts här). Detta gör att det är lätt att genom Special:WhatLinksHere/File:SWE-Map_Kommuner2007.svg se vilka filer som är grundade på varandra. För kartogramen (nice) räcker det med om File:Sweden.population.2008-11-01.cart.svg pekar tillbaka och de andra pekar på File:Sweden.population.2008-11-01.cart.svg. På det sättet kan den osm stöter på t.ex. File:Sweden.1988.coalition.largest.cart.svg lätt hitta filen som de behöver ifall de vill skapa en liknande karta. /Lokal_Profil 19:00, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
