Englewood is a python library for generating maps from maps.

Currently only dot-density maps can be generated, but hopefully other types of maps (contigous and non-contigous cartograms, scaled centroids markers, etc) will follow.

Installation

It's easy!

::

pip install englewood

Usage

See demo.py for an example of how to generate a dot density map.

Note: data for the demo is sourced from Reshaping Chicago's political map <http://media.apps.chicagotribune.com/ward-redistricting/index.html>. The Chicago Wards shapefile the City of Chicago's data portal <http://data.cityofchicago.org/Government/Boundaries-Wards/bhcv-wqkf>.
