Hi,
This Thursday and Saturday we will have a small workshop on data
storytelling and I would like to present Pharo/Roassal to the people
there as a tool for creating and sharing visualizations.
My idea is to use Playgrounds to make agile visualization and then share
them using cloud sharing at stfx and etherpads.
The maps I would like to make are similar to the ones that have colored
countries [1][2], but using internal country geopolitical divisions. For
the case of Colombia I would like to use the ones of [3], specifically
something like [4] and use the same syntax of RTMetricMap inside the
country.

So my question is:
- There is any way to upload this SGV maps and treat them as the maps
already in RTMetricMap, telling the names of the internal geopolitical
divisions inside a Country and how to color them according to a value
and make them zoomable?
- Where can I start to look to support this feature?
Notice that this tries to be a leaner approach to the one I had already
asked about importing maps from open street map.
Thanks,
Offray
