Hi, once I cleaned up my scripts and rewrite some parts for easier use it could be very well automated. So in general the answer would be: it can be done ;-) > And are you willing to publish how you generated these graphs? We'd > like to have something like this on our metrics page.

I've downloaded free availably so called "shapefiles" which contain country-shapes (multiple polygons) composed of coordinates (lat,lon). [1] 2. wrote some perl scripts to read these files out with the help of some already available modules [2] and generated and generated some out of it for easier use. 3. with the help of the GD module [3] I plotted these coordinates and voila, here is the world map. 4. now I only need some input data, like tor average user data and some other stuff like internet population per country data (from the world fact book..the cia one). [4] 5. done [1] - http://www.diva-gis.org/Data (world countries shapes files) (This dataset is freely available for academic and other non-commercial use.) [2] - http://search.cpan.org/~jasonk/Geo-ShapeFile-2.51/ShapeFile.pm [3] - http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD-2.46/GD.pm [4] - https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html & https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2153rank.html Another question was: > It would be nice if the colors had numbers associated with them; right > now it's a floating scale and I can't even tell if it changes month to > month. Yes, right now it just shows color data without the scale data/numbers. I will think of a better way to display this. Anyway, these graphs were more like a side effect of my map plotting experiments and i found them interesting. If time allows I will try to enhance and automated them. ..till then, happy tor surfing/networking/relaying/developing.. -skep _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
