  17. Sweating the sub-pixel anti-aliasing bugs so that you don't have to!

    This image is from some of my debugging work on one of our upcoming MapLibre styles. I noticed that something wasn't quite right - a tiny single-pixel wide glitch on one side of some of our place-label icons. So then of course I had to track down the root cause...

    Edit: Added a real-life map image, so you see what I mean by a "tiny" glitch - I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't notice!

  22. 🧵 1/2: I recently saw this vintage #Qantas poster with a unique “flower” map projection centered on #Sydney (1st image). I love how it almost neatly divides the four largest continents (Eurasia, Africa, and North and South America) into the 4 “petals”.

    I sorta became obsessed and wondered if I could recreate it using my mapmaking and coding skills.

    Some days of tinkering, coding, and mathing later, I think I managed to do it! (2nd image) 🎉🗺️

  23. Cartographic subtleties: @pinakographos shares a treasure trove of #cartography tricks on the Something About #Maps blog, covering shaded relief, label brackets, blurs and glows, generalisation, and more. A great read (with pointers to other posts) if you want to level up...

    Description et interprétation de La carte rouge de la Hongrie
    🔸Contexte / Cette carte, réalisée par le comte Pál Teleki en collaboration avec Zsigmond Bátky et Károly Kogutowicz, fut publiée en 1920, à l’occasion de la Conférence de paix de Paris.
