New The Amazing Self-Drawing Maps

This animated self-drawing map of Chicago is equally much an artistic tilt equally it is a map.

There's no explanation attached to this map so I'm having to practice a lilliputian estimate operate here. The map is called Divvy Routes in addition to the map that emerges looks similar Chicago. My best bet in addition to so is that this is a map of Chicago created yesteryear drawing routes betwixt wheel pick-up in addition to wheel drop-off points on the Divvy wheel sharing network inwards Chicago.

The JavaScript code for the map contains variables called 'drawLinesByHour' in addition to 'drawLinesByMinute' so in that place is presumably a fourth dimension chemical component to the routes beingness drawn on the map. I assume thus that the map shows wheel usage over a catamenia of time.


If y'all similar self-drawing maps in addition to so y'all should too convey a await at Sketch Map. Sketch Map is a clever interactive map which uses D3.js in addition to Walkway.js to sketch a route map 1 lilliputian combat at a time. Having a await nether the hood of Divvy Routes it appears that it too uses D3.js to practice the animated lines on the wheel route map of Chicago.

Zoom inwards in addition to out on Sketch Map or pan simply about in addition to y'all tin break how the roads in addition to transit lines are sketched out inwards real-time. If y'all desire to convey a play simply about alongside this yourself the code for Sketchcart is available nether an MIT license on Github.
