A tool to generate different maps for population over Spain

Martindonatotron

Generate different maps of Spain, splitting by population

usage: martindonatotron.py [-h] [--import-population-only] [--import-map-only]
                           [-t TYPE] [-p] [-n NUMBER] [-i] [--seed SEED] [-v]
                           [--generate OUT_FILE] [--in IN_FILE]
                           [--only-max ONLY_MAX] [--only-min ONLY_MIN]

Create maps

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --import-population-only
                        Exit after importing population from files. This is
                        aimed at debug
  --import-map-only     Exit after importing map from files. This is aimed at
                        debug
  -t TYPE               Type of map: regions, histogram, only, general, tests
  -p                    Print result
  -n NUMBER             Number of elements (regions, etc)
  -i                    Enter interactive mode
  --seed SEED           Seed the regions and municipalities
  -v                    Enable verbose ooutput
  --generate OUT_FILE   file to generate world output
  --in IN_FILE          file to import world definition
  --only-max ONLY_MAX   Upper limit of population to print on an only map
  --only-min ONLY_MIN   Lower limit of population to print on an only map

In the repo there are pregenerated json files with Murcia (murcia.json) and the whole peninsular spain to play with (peninsula.json)

Remember to add -p to display the map.

requirements

Install with the requirements.txt file

pip install -r requirements.txt

Map types

The following types of map are supported

regions

Generate NUMBER equipopulous regions. By default, based on the most populated cities. A file can be created to seed the initial cities per region. Check example_seed.txt.

e.g.

python2 martindonatotron.py --in murcia.json -t regions -n 5 -p

interactive mode can be used to generate the seed as well.

general

Display all municipalities in different colours

histogram

Display municipalities with different colours based on their population

only

Display only the municipalities with population between --only-min and --only-max. The rest will appear in a lighter shade.
