South Up Equal Earth Projection in R
Yup - I'm still banging on about this! This time, in R
Result
The colours are wrong, and the labels need adjustment - but not bad for a few lines of code!
Code

library(rnaturalearth)
library(rnaturalearthdata)
library(sf)centre

After *three* whole people said they'd buy this, I'm _nearly_ ready to start selling my "South Up, Aotearoa Centred, Equal Earth Projection Map".
A bit more work to do making sure all the country labels are correct. Then a test printing. And then I'll need to find a place where I can sell them.
All the code and images will be available on GitHub if you want to correct it or print it yourself.
Price is likely to be about £100 for a 1.5 metre wide print. If you're interested, let me know

More #mapping experiments.
Using text labels for countries is hard - some small countries have very long names!So I tried using emoji flags!
Problem is, some areas are very crowded - which makes seeing the flags impossible.
OTOH, if I print them small, they won't be easy to see when printed out.

Hmmm. I think I've found a bug in how #GIMP renders #SVG text.
SVG import doesn't cope well with multiple combining characters (#10238) · Issues · GNOME / GIMP · GitLab
Environment/Versions GIMP version: 2.10.34 Package: Flatpak Operating System: Linux
GitLab (gitlab.gnome.org)
I wonder if there's a sensible way to convert a complex SVG to a raster which doesn't involve it? Sadly, ImageMagick is just too slow.
-
I ended up opening the SVG in Firefox and then… saving as a bloody PDF!
That was the only sensible way to embed the emoji font in a vector file. Luckily that imports smoothly into Gimp.
So, with any luck, I should get the test prints next week then be able to start selling them.

OK! Test prints ordered.
I bloody hate dealing with physical stuff. At least with digital mistakes only cost time and computer cycles.
If these go well, I'll start selling them online ASAP.
If not... I dunno?

OMG!
O! M! G!
The test prints have come back and they look
GORGEOUS No sneak peaks until I've set up the RedBubble shop - which should take a week. Then they'll be available for shipping world wide.
So excited to show these off to you.
