[OC] Ho creato una mappa tipografica della Repubblica Ceca utilizzando solo i nomi dei luoghi. / Ho creato una mappa tipografica della Repubblica Ceca utilizzando solo i nomi dei comuni.
Ahoj! Thanks for checking out my project 🙂 Here’s a little more context on what you’re seeing:
* This is a piece of Data Art, not a traditional atlas. The goal is to let the data itself create the art, rather than to show every single town.
* My own custom algorithm places each name from the OpenStreetMap dataset at its exact coordinates, starting with the most populous cities. The main rule is that names cannot overlap. So in dense areas, a larger town can block its smaller neighbors, which is why some well-known places might be missing.
* Also, since the data is from the community-driven OSM, you might spot some historical places that are now ghost towns or have been absorbed into other cities.
I hope you enjoy the result and I’m happy to answer any questions 🙂

Is there a threshold how big /populated a place has to be to be shown?

How does it select the name to show? As a concrete example why Fláje and not Český Jiřetín which is bigger and of which Fláje are actually just a one part?

Do you use QGis or something else? I study geoinformatics, so Im pretty impressed with your map
