Sexy Map Application

Overview

I'm playing with map making to visually explain PersonalTelco's coverage around PortlandOregon. I'm mostly interested in making the map look sexy. I'm using the City of Portland Office of Transportation Bike Map as a starting point. I grabbed a few tools on my AppleMacintosh that are simple to play with by hand and then started automating parts. I'm using AppleScript because it's been a while and I am curious where it's at these days. --DarrinEden

To Do

The code for a zoomed in map is incomplete and fubared at best. I'm still fixing the zoom map by hand.

Code

property dotRadius : 10 property resultWidth : 450

global myList

global cropNWx global cropNWy global cropSEx global cropSEy

global scaleX global scaleY

global myPage

global pdxSpotList global pdxMapOriginal

tell application "Finder" to set homePath to (home as string)

set pdxSpotList to (homePath & "Desktop:spots.xls") set pdxMapOriginal to (homePath & "Desktop:bikemap.pdf" as alias)

on main()

end main

-- Prepare data for building entire map of Portland on setEntireMap()

end setEntireMap

-- Prepare data for building downtown Portland on setDowntownMap()

end setDowntownMap

-- Use Photoshop to draw on a PDF version of the biking routes of Portland on drawMap()

end drawMap

-- Write down all the imagemap data for a clickable map on a web page on linkMap()

end linkMap

-- Load data for spots from a spreadsheet on loadList()

end loadList

main()
