In a way, that's where I was last year writing KML files for GE. <br /><br />But since I started on this enterprise back in July with <a href="http://moyhu.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-proxy-plots-with-java.html" rel="nofollow">spaghetti plots</a>, I've been exploring how interactivity through a browser can help communicate quantitative information. That's the motive for using a sperical projection with buttons, for example. A lot of effort has gone into Mollweide projections etc, trying to balance fidelity with showing the whole world surface. But with interactivity you can have both.<br /><br />So that's why I like JS and HTML5. It isn't that they do something unique, but they can put it on everyone's screen.<br /><br />Or at least almost everyone. I gather there are still environments where the graphics don't appear. IE's default rejection of javascript I can't do anything about (except invite users to change the settings), but I'd really like to hear of other situations where graphics don't work.Nick Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377413236983002873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729093380675162051.post-10148740485782072642011-12-11T12:35:14.172+11:002011-12-11T12:35:14.172+11:00Nick, first off I'd like to thank you for your...Nick, first off I'd like to thank you for your work. I enjoy reading your posts and watching these projects evolve.<br /><br />My question is, why not use off-the-shelf GIS software? I have some familiarity with ESRI products but I know there are free GIS products that will also do most of what you want with minimal effort.dkonoreply@blogger.com
