This script builds jVectorMap countries maps from shapefiles, using the converter.py script.
Shapefiles files (i.e. dbf, shp and shx) must be available in a sub-folder under the source folder, e.g. source/ne_10m_admin_0_countries/ne_10m_admin_0_countries.shp.
The source files must follow the <map type>/<map type>.<ext>
format.
Maps files will be saved in a sub-folder under 'maps', test files in a sub-folder under 'tests'.
Use e.g. Quantum GIS to find out the indexes in the attribute tables.
Examples of generated maps can be found at http://dev.hovinne.com/jvectormap-maps-builder/
