Code and sample video for mapping the UCDP GED conflict data onto the NASA blue marble images. Click on the image below to view the video.
- Download the background maps from NASA (blue marble, one for each month). Or use this Dropbox link.
- Download the UCDP GED data.
- Install initial requirements with:
pip install requirements.txt - Install cartopy with:
conda install -c conda-forge cartopy - Run world_map.py with
python world_map.py
world_map.py will generate thousands of individual frames.
To create a video version, use: create_video.py
I plan to also create an interactive version quite easily with plotly if there is any interest.
