Another experiment with processing I did in the last 2 days. This time it is an interactive visualization of newton’s law of gravity applied over a bunch of objects. It is a simple demonstration of the gravity model showing the force between objects based on their mass and distance. Orange dots depict an object with mass equivalent to …

A more refined visualization of the same data used in the last post. As you can see this video is a demo of an interactive programme which can be downloaded here (32bit or 64bit). To give a brief explanation, the visual canvas above shows an negative map (from OpenStreetMap) of central London with all the docks of Barclay’s cycle …

[vimeo 58991559 w=700& h=400] note:  The first 20 seconds of the video doesn’t have much activity since it is really early to cycle. After an intensive term with R, it was time to move slightly away from the world of geographic data to a more abstract visualizations with processing. The above video is the first attempt in …

27-Dec-2017: Updated the script and examples to work with new mapzen metro extracts. Following up the last post, where I have outlined my overall understanding and plan for the intended function, today I have finished the first working code of the aosm( ) function and as promised in the last post, I am posting the code …

It is highly unlikely that anyone who has been working with geographic data in the last 5 years has not come across the OpenStreetMap project. The project started in 2004 as a crowd sourced solution to create an open free geographic database of the world has now exploded in to a movement in itself with …

After spending lot of time with the KML documentation and C, It was time for me to go beyond the associated platform restrictions (C programs are compiled for a single platform) and start doing the computing and displaying maps on the web. This sparked my venture into the Google maps API and  JavaScript. The starting point of this entire …
