Fatty January 8, 2007 Share Fatty GC Founder January 8, 2007 Here's what I need: I'd like a map of the US that will show the demographics of our attendees through a distribution map. i.e. a color coded map that shows something like: 1-2 attendees from a state = whatever color and a blend all the way through like, well, ohio will be the color on the other end......and the number inside the state noting how many are coming. This person would host this file, keep it up to date with the list of attendees, and have it featured on our website somehow (with thanks of course). Anyone who: a) understands what the heck i'm looking for can do it? I guess an alternative to this would be to do one of those google maps.....but then people would have to register themselves and I'm sure we'd not get everyone on there...some would get on that aren't coming, etc.....plus to incorporate the image would be another thing....

ShadowDog January 8, 2007 Share ShadowDog Member January 8, 2007 i would.. but i feel i would screw up with locations and someone would just make one in like 5 seconds when it would take me like hours. =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie January 9, 2007 Share mookie GC Alumni January 9, 2007 Took about 5 minutes to make this in MS Paint, including counting the states already on the attendees page, using this and just doing flood-fills: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BlankMap-USA-states.png Should only take about 2 minutes any time it needs to be updated. For some reason when I did the numbers as 0x000000 it comes up in a browser as transparent. They could easily be made a deep grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookie January 9, 2007 Share mookie GC Alumni January 9, 2007 Would it be terrible to say that I forgot about Canada? I guess it's just because nobody from up there had signed up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
