 Okay, so I'm just taking a few minutes tonight to tell you about a little Python program I made that's made a bit of a splash If any of you know Anaconda the Python distribution they have a graphics or a data visualization program called bokeh and I'm an issue in bokeh now They want to fold this into bokeh in long-term Projects, so I don't know if it'll ever happen, but it's nice. They thought of me so This is a library to make maps SVG maps a specific kind of maps called a core Coropleth now a coropleth is a map where the different areas are have a color Depending on some sort of number like you could have a map of Canada with every province a different color Brighter red with the level of unemployment things like that. The only problem with coropleths is that Places with very small areas like if you had a map of Canada Prince Edward Island, it's gonna be very it's not gonna be easy to see whereas whatever the The unemployment is in the Northwest Territories. That'll be very very visible on the map so there are different ways of going about this and There was a bunch of people were tweeting solutions to this problem in May and I was briefly unemployed in May I'm not anymore And so I used my spare time to put this together. So this is a ignore all this code code code This is the this is the tutorial Okay, I don't know where the page down button is on a Mac. Okay. Well, so here's one possible solution You just make every every this is for the states because you know they have more people so I put them on the top Every state is a different is a is a square and so every every No states with smaller areas are not emphasized And you can see this is a percent of the population that's Moved or that's living in the same place as a year ago. So you can see in New England people tend to stay the same place What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but people don't stay in the same place in Vegas apparently Nevada has the lowest as highest turnover and there's different Layouts you can have for that. Here's an interesting one. It's hexagons hexagons fit together a little nicer and there's The same thing. This is what we call, you know, this is a true core of play This is the kind of thing I was talking about where it's the actual map And so my with just a few lines of code my my script does that as well This is an interesting one someone on Twitter came up with that I implemented every state is for hexagons So you can see you can kind of get more of the shape of the United States, but with The areas with more states are a little more emphasized Long here's every county in the United States don't worry. We're getting to Europe and Canada pretty soon Here's Europe here's a regular old core plethora of Europe and this is a percent of people who use the internet You can see it's a very popular in Scandinavia And I made this hexagon map of Europe is still, you know vaguely resembles Europe I think and the good thing is like there are countries that you literally cannot see on this map and Dora San Marino, Monaco, and they take up just as much space as all the other countries here, which you know It might be nice to have things In proportion to their population instead of just equal for each area and that's what brings me down to Canada this is Canadian federal writings the new 338 federal writings that are in place for this election for the first time and the good thing about federal writings is they're all Pretty much the same population So this becomes a map of Canada of each square equal population and isn't it interesting I think it's interesting. You can really see how much southern Ontario contributes to the total population of Canada. It's like 35 to 40 percent Quebec is still respectable, but of course northern Quebec disappears entirely And look and of course the territories are just one blob each So this is the all the different writings that you can put them together if you just wanted to do things by Province you put it together like this. I'm making one currently for with hexagons and boy, is it difficult It's like fitting hexagons together. I've been doing it for a few days and I'm about to go mad That is oh, thank you
