The Map of English linguistic communication Literature shows the birthplaces of only about of English linguistic communication Literature's greatest writers. On the map authors, poets in addition to dramatists accept been mapped to their house of nascency (although at that topographic point are a few exceptions where writers accept been mapped to locations which they are to a greater extent than unremarkably associated with).
If you lot hover over a mention on the map you lot tin read to a greater extent than nearly the chosen writer. All this biographical information comes from each writer's Wikipedia entry. The map is non intended to locomote an exhaustive listing of British writers. In fact I made the map mainly to explore how The Pudding made their
map A People Map of the USA.
The Pudding's map (and my Map of English linguistic communication Literature) both purpose Mapbox GL. Mapbox Studio allows you lot to add together GeoJSON information to a map equally a layer. This has 1 keen payoff if you lot desire to add together place-label names to a map. If you lot add together your labels to the map equally a layer inwards Mapbox Studio so Mapbox volition automatically grip how that information is displayed. You thus don't ask to worry nearly your labels overlapping / colliding equally Mapbox volition produce all the heavy locomote for you.
When I get-go played alongside The Pudding's map I realized that you lot could besides even so access all the GeoJSON information from your added layer. This agency that when you lot hover over a mention on the People Map of the USA you lot tin read a curt biography of the selected person. This achieved inwards Mapbox GL JS yesteryear using queryRenderedFeatures to access the properties of hovered-over map elements.
If you lot hover over an author mention on the Map of English linguistic communication Literature the map queries that layer in addition to tin access all the GeoJSON information associated alongside that author. In this way when you lot hover over an author's mention the map tin display the writer's engagement of birth, where they were born in addition to only about brief biographical information.
If you lot desire to come across how I used queryrenderedfeatures inwards the Map of English linguistic communication Literature you lot tin explore my code here.
