New Mapping Minard's Napoleon Menstruum Map
Charles Minard was a pioneer of the purpose of graphics inwards engineering too statistics. Probably his nigh famous creation was a time period map showing Napoleon's disastrous Russian crusade of 1812. His map displayed:
- the army's place too direction, showing where units split upwards off too rejoined
- the declining size of the seat down forces
- the freezing temperatures (by date) during the retreat
There used to live a practiced Google Maps based visualization of Minard's time period map, created yesteryear Mike Bostock. Unfortunately Minard's Naopleon has fallen fowl of Google's discontinuation of version two of the Google Maps API. Ironically the timeline temperature is all that survives now. However the code is even too thus at that topographic point if anyone wants to update it to move amongst version three of the Google Maps API.
