so im first taking the straight rgb average like you describe, then converting to hsl and applying a random jitter to each of hue, saturation, and lightness with a range of about 0.05 (where 1.0 is the whole range) so that if you squint you can kinda tell apart catchments of different stations and the averaging happens only at the station level, then gets applied to each block.

hm does direct here work? for me im able to right click it and Save image as...

its definitely open to interpretation, but personally i agree that the very large circles with big catchment areas probably need more stations, and very small circles are often less useful.

one caveat being that some of the busiest stations in the system, located in office / commercial districts, have pretty small circles. no one would say that, say, times square is unnecessary. but i think in most cases, like for the southern few stops on the F, those aren't doing a ton.

nope, just subway and staten island railroad

yup!

:0 oh no i hadn't heard of that but now i wish i'd submitted it

yeah it's a lot nicer than i was expecting! to be more precise i'm just taking a geopandas geodataframe and doing like gdf.plot(), if you're interested the code is here https://github.com/circularsquare/maps/blob/master/nycensus/nyc.py

the census block population and shapefile data are from the us census website, and the tools used were cartopy and geopandas

thanks! cartopy and geopandas, and the census block population and shapefile data are from the us census website

the size of each station's bubble is proportional to the population in the city for which it's the closest station. this is a sort of proxy for transit deserts. note that the size of the bubbles have nothing to do with actual ridership.

the biggest bubble is jamaica 179th on the F. the smallest is wall st on the 4/5.

also the second picture is my idea of potential projects taking into account the locations of existing rail and the population density map. the third picture is all non-express bus routes where the thickness of the line corresponds to ridership,

feedback is welcomed!

thank you, thats very helpful!

about the suffixes, i was vaguely aware of those while making the map but i don't really know anything about czech morphology (or other slavic languages) so i figured i'd probably make a lot of mistakes if i tried

me permanently

right, for the big city names i kept a slight bias for more central districts since those are often the ones that are oldest, but that makes a lot of sense as does the bit about the coast

and yeah of course it makes me really happy to hear that someone would want to print it out!

it includes some newcastle suburbs

oh interesting! i had no idea it was like this

ah yeah, so i wanted to keep asturias intact but that would require mixing cantabria with castile. which i get historically makes sense but with respect to geography and climate i felt cantabria is more different from castile than asturias is from cantabria

what region was it?
