Extremely simple, it actually only works well under Safari at the moment. Packaging drawings in “frames” could be one way to improve performance. You’ll need to at least get the orbited 0.7 tutorial working on your local machine. Once you do running this should be a cinch. Let me know of any troubles you all have getting it working.
For links to final project progress or other work.
Not sure if any of you do unit testing, but I developed one that uses MooTools and posted it on GitHub, here.
If you don’t want console.log or other console statements to break browsers that don’t support them you need to include this piece of Javascript before anything else:
if(!console) { var console = { log: function() {}, error: function() {}, warning: function() {} }; }
Please go over this. It should work exactly as described on itp.nyu.edu. Post any questions or concerns on the class Google Group.
I think at least a couple of these came up in class, but I’ve had the tabs open for too long and can’t remember:
- http://www.mapufacture.com/ – “provides dynamic, customizable geographic information and collaborative mapping”
- http://www.mapstraction.com/ – “a library that provides a common API for various javascript mapping APIs to enable switching from one to another as smoothly as possible”
- http://maker.geocommons.com/ – “gives you the power to make stunning interactive maps with your own data, GeoCommons public data or both”
- http://freeearth.poly9.com/ – an API for a fancy 3d spinning globe (the one used for http://twittervision.com/maps/show_3d)
