To celebarate I’m showing you a glitchy map of Singapore I made when I was first trying to graph the paths of the Singaporean population. The mistake I made here was to display all the vertices of the graph as vectors from the origin. It looked decent.

The original data is in the public domain, and so in turn the images are completely free to use for any purpose.

I haven’t yet projected the data (eg. mercator), so don’t consider the sizes accurate. All maps were made in javascript using processing-js. The data is loaded directly from a large json data file and is usable as static content without any server side support.

The code used here is available on github and is totally free to use for any purpose.

The zoom starts at a large enough radius to see DC, but as you zoom in you can also see Phillie and eventually NYC. Check it out running in your browser here. If you can’t run it then see the video below for some of my stop-motion draft versions which are not as finessed:
