I’m working with Phil Price over at Andrew Gelman’s blog https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/ to do a comparison between using R and using Julia for basic data analysis stuff. We’ve got a few simple tasks and are implementing them in both languages to show comparisons. In fact, it started becaus…

Hi all, I was just reminded of this thread because of a notification. Here is a link to the github where I added a bunch of mapping examples to the GMTMaps.jmd file GitHub - dlakelan/JuliaDataTutorials: Tutorials For Data Analysis in Julia I don’t remember exactly what the status was because last u…

[image] dlakelan: Yes I know that Julia has other plotting tools, but I don’t want to complexify the comparison by highlighting the fact that there are like 5 viable plotting libraries (Plots/StatsPlots, VegaLite, Makie, Gadfly, PGFPlots, etc etc) Would you accept a solution in any of these p…

I guess for the purposes of this thread I’ll accept any and all solutions, and then will try to choose the one that seems to provide the least resistance to present it :wink:

Maybe this is helpful [image] U.S. Counties Choropleth Visualization I know it’s been a while since this question was posted, but it took me a while to plot a choropleth from a DataFrame so I’ll post the way I do it by using Shapefile.jl and Plots.jl I hope this could hel…

Fyi, a GMT solution for this problem is provided here .

Nice the GMT version seems simple enough and uses a “plot” method which seems straightforward as an interface. the vegalite interface is fine for someone who’s familiar with vegalite and Julia and etc, but will I think be off-putting as an introduction to mapping on Julia. One question: where do I …

[image] dlakelan: Failed to precompile GMT There is a related thread here concerning GMT installation issues in linux, in case it helps.

I reported a bug to Debian and they helped me figure out what was wrong (another package was keeping an older version of libproj installed) after appropriate upgrades and removing the old library gmt works on the command line, so I’ll make some effort to see if I can do something with the GMT.jl sol…

@dlakelan Glad you were able to figure out the installing problem because I was clueless. Regarding the plots, you must first understand that GMT works a bit differently from the other plotting packages (but, don’t they always do among each other?). In GMT, the plotting command adds a layer to the …

Great. Thanks for this help. I’d be interested in adding a GMT related tutorial to my archive of data analysis tutorials , both so I can learn more about mapping with GMT, and so others can benefit. Would you be interested in collaborating on that?

Well, yes. Tutorials and examples is a lagging area in GMT.jl
