Do you have the Nat'l Geo style sheet? This is tight
Do you have the Nat'l Geo style sheet? This is tight
Something witty and pithy
Nope. I do have access to all of their fonts, but I'd get in big trouble if I used them. The style sheet here is my own invention, but it pretty much follows normal cartographic standards.Originally Posted by mmmmmpig

Wow...just wow. One can only admire those maps. Like in a real Atlas. I'm looking forward to more...
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
I thought this map was amazing, really amazing then it was put into the shadow of something more amazing. I just been to the site to see that this is one of many (what 27 ?) like it... So I just had to play ! Seriously cool stuff.
Edit -- actually I have a question. Is the map projection built into the maps or is it something that you apply to them. Or to rephrase it, are the maps vector types so that you could do different projections of the same map - like a Mercator or whatever or does it have to be viewed with the one you used because you have labeled stuff to fit with the projection.

Impressive as ever, Rob!

It's really great stuff your doing.
It so great that first I though it was a real map in which you change the name.
It must take a great deal of time to come up with all those names no?
Hope to see more of your work soon,
Alu.
Let my fangs find your neck, during the night, so that I can drink your knowledge ...
So it could be use here : www.l-hazard.com
That's sweet!
The projection is built into the maps. It would be great to be able to reproject the maps (it would definitely save me time!) but my software does not have that capability.
No kidding, I am completely burned out on coming up with names! I need to find a good programmable name generator.
Thanks

I just got done going through your site and your work is absolutely amazing. I was glad to see you dabble in different styles once in a while, too (of particular interest to me was the city map of Jushalishuk - very cool).
I think there's a lesson here for me and I think it's called Attention to Detail. My wife might call it something else ("insanity", "anal", "obsessive", etc.), but then, she has her own collection of obsessions, so we can't really use her opinion as any sort of measure.
Keep making your maps. We'll keep gawking in astonishment.
As one of my friends once said: everyone's a geek for something!I think there's a lesson here for me and I think it's called Attention to Detail.

I can reproject them to mercator type as long as the curvature is not too great so that would be easier nearer the equator. It would not be exact (as its doing a limited power curve fit) but it would be darn close. I was asking because I tried to stitch them together as is but they would not line up exactly due to the projection and again its harder nearer the poles. So I thought before I go off and try to get them squared up into vertical and horizontal grids it might be easier to ask if you have that capability. Once its square then its easy to get the grids to match and I can see that your software is definitely doing georeffing so I can tell that its an exact match under those grid lines. Id like to see this map stitched into one large array so ill take a pop at it. Its a bit tricky but I think it can be done. Its just awesome. God knows how many hours you must have been at it.
