A Framework For Interactive Maps With SVG (And Python) – Kartograph

13:36:00 , , , , 0 Comments

Kartograph is a framework for creating interactive maps without any mapping provider (like Google Maps).

It consists of 2 libraries:

  • a Python library thatrenders vector maps from shapefiles or PostGIS and converts them to SVG
  • a JavaScript library for turning these SVG data into interactive maps

If you already have the SVG data (for ex: any drawing can be converted to SVG with Adobe Illustrator), only the JavaScript library can help too.
The JS library uses jQuery + Raphaël, outputs can be styled with CSS and a very good documentation is provided.
