Berliner Morgenpost's map of the European election results inwards Berlin
Yesterday I started writing a round-up of European election maps created past times newspapers across Europe. However I was as well as then disappointed amongst the full general lineament of the maps created that I chop-chop scrapped the post.
The 1 map that I was impressed amongst was past times the Berliner Morgenpost. Europawahl 2014 Alle Stimmen inwards den 529 Berliner Wahlkiezen is a map showing the results of the European elections inwards each of Berlin's 529 election districts.
Like the Berliner Morgenpost's map of the German National Election the results inwards the European elections demo that in that place is nonetheless a clear dividing trouble betwixt voters inwards the quondam eastern as well as western blocks inwards Berlin
Berliner Morgenpost's map of the German linguistic communication national election results inwards Berlin
Almost 25 years afterwards the collapse of the Berlin Wall the Berliner Morgenpost map reveals a political wall nonetheless exists betwixt East as well as West Berlin as well as that this political wall runs close precisely along the trouble of the quondam Berlin Wall. To the due east the Left Party emerged triumphant, spell inwards the due west the CDU as well as the SPD were the political winners.
The Berliner Morgenpost's European Elections Map is itself a actually good designed visualization of the Berlin election results. The map provides a uncomplicated visualization of the overall winners inwards each electoral district inwards Berlin past times shading each district amongst the color of the winning party. If y'all click on an electoral district on the map y'all tin plough over the sack sentiment a breakdown of the results for each political party as well as y'all tin plough over the sack too compare the 2014 results amongst the votes kind inwards the district inwards the 2009 European Elections.
The map too uses an effective polygon knockout lawsuit to enshroud all of the map except for Berlin. If y'all desire to recreate this lawsuit amongst Google Maps y'all tin plough over the sack purpose Vasile Cotovanu's polygon masking wizard Geomask. Using Geomask it is possible to exercise a doughnut type polygon which solely shows the map through the hole inwards the doughnut polygon. The lawsuit of using Geomask is to highlight the relevant expanse on the map as well as mask the residual of the map.
Another effective pattern chemical component of the map is that when y'all click on an electoral district on the map a trouble is drawn from the district to the results inwards the map sidebar. It appears that the Berliner Morgenpost had discovered a swell method for drawing a polyline from the map to a static chemical component exterior the map.
