re USA map

First of all, great catch on the border there, I'll fix that asap. As for the other, I'll see what I can do but no promises, as I didn't make the line map. What is the purpose of doing it, since they will be pretty small on that map? --Golbez (talk) 15:56, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

re map updates

Wow, so great to see someone noticing my workd. :) And in fact, you're the first person I can recall who cared about the map images and not just the change images. I am updating everything, I'm kind of uploading as I go, the maps will be updated as well. Any issues that pop up should be resolved soon. This third version of the maps is being done in QGIS, so it's all using shapefiles and vectors, much better than my old traced work. Civilian GIS tools have advanced enough since I started this project nearly 20 years ago that it's much easier to use now.

As for the other maps, I'm still figuring out how to handle them. I am definitely going to redo the NW and Caribbean maps; not sure about Pacific yet, as that's already pretty well done and doesn't benefit nearly as much from the new setup, but I probably will since I'm also working on maritime border updates now. --Golbez (talk) 20:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can do what you want, but I would like to have a series of maps that shows everything to the same scale. Squee3 (talk) 02:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So to be honest, when you said "to the same scale and same aspect ratio," my mind only saw, "same image size". So I made sure they were the same dimensions! Because then it's easier to make GIF frames, which is my next project! Which is different than scale, of course. Whoops.

That said, before going back through and trying that out I suppose I should ask why? What is the benefit you're anticipating from this? --Golbez (talk) 02:10, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And since I used the same scale for NW NA as I did for Central NA, and probably will do for the Caribbean, then it is indeed just the Pacific scale that stands out. However, any attempt at matching scale would require either: 1) Truncating the map to just Hawaii; 2) Including everything in its own insets, but considering some of them are many times larger than Hawaii [like the TTPI] and already can consume a huge part of the map area, that doesn't seem like the best idea; or 3) creating an image roughly 4x larger in each dimension, making it somewhat useless. I don't like any of these options. --Golbez (talk) 18:20, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've redone Canada and the CSA entirely within QGIS, and I think I feel much more confident with it, and my ability to pipe out everything in the same scale is more doable. :) --Golbez (talk) 02:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All of this is on the menu; however, this year has been hell. --Golbez (talk) 01:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
