Day 23: Process

I used QGIS to create one image per year, and then turned them into an animation using ffmpeg.

The command used here to turn all the .png of the folder into one video:

ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -framerate 2 -i "*.png" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

#30daymapchallenge | Day 22 Data: Natural Earth | The Great Islands

Earlier this summer I finished this print version of my map from last year depicting our Great Lakes as islands. Been trying to learn more about lighting techniques in Blenderβ€”I think this was a big leap forward from 2024 version!

Visualizing big spatial data: hexbins with QGIS & PostGIS β€’ Gispo Visualizing spatial data with high volumes in an informative way can be tricky. One trick I have used quite a bit is that I have turned the points in QGIS

This map was mostly inspired by this article, I really like how the visualization looks.

I'm not sure I understand your question about the thickness of lines - I simply got the street layer from OSM and styled it all the same size :)
