This map displays the former course of the Berlin Wall as a single, continuous polygon, derived from OpenStreetMap data. It visualizes the wall’s intricate path through the city, with the GeoJSON geometry rendered as a filled shape. The code parses the FeatureCollection and draws the polygon using a geo-projection library, likely `d3.geoPath`, directly mapping the geographic coordinates to the canvas. The visualization relies on the multipolygon relation from the OSM dataset, preserving the wall’s true layout without simplification or embellishment.

This example displays the historical course of the Berlin Wall as a detailed polygon on a map, derived from OpenStreetMap data stored in a GeoJSON file. The visualization uses D3.js to render the geographic path with `d3.geoPath`, projecting the coordinates onto a two-dimensional canvas. It highlights the wall’s former route through the city, with the geometry emphasizing its winding path. The rendering focuses on the spatial extent of the structure, using the raw coordinate data to draw the wall’s outline without additional styling or interaction.

Gist 73100dba40164b493edf7af63649a498

This map shows a guided tour of Berlin in 1947, with markers placed at historical sites like the Fasanenstrasse Synagogue and Charlottenburg Gate. Each marker includes photographic images and descriptive text retrieved from the GeoJSON data. The visualization uses d3.geoPath to render the map and d3.forceSimulation to position the markers, with the tour data loaded from a local JSON file.

This example presents an interactive map of historical Berlin locations from 1947, using GeoJSON point features to mark sites like the Synagogue Fasanenstrasse and Charlottenburg Gate. Each marker opens a popup with period photographs and captions, rendered through a Mapbox-like interface. The visualization relies on a custom marker system with symbol and color properties, while the underlying tour.json data drives the geographic placement and content. The implementation uses standard web mapping libraries to handle GeoJSON rendering and marker interactions, showing how archival image collections can be geolocated and explored.

test

This example visualizes a single point feature from a GeoJSON file, marking the location of Friedrichstraße in Berlin. The map uses D3’s `d3.geoPath` to render geographic outlines, while the point itself is drawn with SVG markers. The feature’s properties include an image carousel with historical photos, toggled by user interaction. The code relies on D3’s data binding and event handling to update the displayed images, and the geographic coordinates are parsed from string values in the GeoJSON. The rendering approach uses a standard Canvas or SVG projection, though the specific projection library is not shown. The source is a gist by CliffordAnderson, with data embedded directly in the file.

This map-based visualization plots historical sites from a 1947 tour of Berlin, using a GeoJSON FeatureCollection to place markers with associated photographs and descriptions. The code relies on Leaflet for map rendering and marker display, with custom styling applied through marker properties like color and symbol. Each point opens a popup containing historical images from Wikimedia Commons, pairing wartime and contemporary photos to show how locations have changed. The tour data is organized by series and includes coordinates for landmarks such as the Technical University and Flakturm Tiergarten.

Sample Berlin Point

This example maps a single point from a GeoJSON file, representing the Berlin Chancellary, onto a map. The visualization displays the point’s coordinates and associated properties, including a marker symbol, color, and an embedded image with a caption. The code uses d3.geoPath to render geographic features and relies on the GeoJSON data structure to define the point’s location and metadata. The marker is styled using the properties for size, color, and symbol, while the image is presented as an HTML string within the data. The source is a gist authored by CliffordAnderson, with the point data drawn from the Spring 2015 series and a 1970 tour reference.

Convert Messy Spreadsheet of Berlin Street Names to GeoJSON

This visualization converts a messy CSV file of Berlin street names into a GeoJSON FeatureCollection. The XQuery script uses `csv:parse` and `map:merge` to clean the data, expanding abbreviations like "dr" to "doctor" and normalizing gender fields. It then calls the Mapbox Geocoding API via `http:send-request` to retrieve geometry for each street address, bounded to Berlin’s coordinates. The resulting features are assembled with `array` and output as JSON, ready for mapping.

This example visualizes a geolocated point on a Berlin map, showing the Poststadion Football Complex with an interactive marker. The code uses d3.geoPath to render the map geometry and a custom point layer for the marker, with properties like marker-color and marker-symbol styled via SVG. The visualization embeds a popup containing three images—two photographs and a YouTube video—accessed through HTML strings in the feature properties. It relies on the GeoJSON format for data storage and d3.forceSimulation for potential layout adjustments, though the primary rendering uses standard D3 projection and path methods.
