Gridviz

Gridviz is a JavaScript library for visualizing gridded data (or any tabular dataset with x/y coordinates for that matter) in the browser using a large variety of cartographic styles and techniques. Unlike traditional raster-based web mapping tools, Gridviz renders everything client-side, on the fly.

Styles

Visit the style gallery to see the different customisable styles available for visualizing gridded data with gridviz.

Live Demos

• Europe - 1km resolution - GEOSTAT/GISCO
• Germany - 100m resolution - Zensus 2011
• France - 200m resolution - INSEE Filosofi. Focus on total population and income.
• Norway - 250m resolution - SSB
• Croatia - 1km resolution - DZS 2015 grid
• Belgium population, as mixed resolution layer.

Installation

Node.js

npm install gridviz

then

import * as gridviz from 'gridviz'

Or you can cherry-pick only the modules that you need, for example:

import { Map, SquareColorWebGLStyle } from 'gridviz'

Basic example

Here’s a basic example that loads a CSV file of a European population grid (5km resolution):

//define map with initial view
const map = new gridviz.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { x: 4500000, y: 2900000, z: 3000 })

//define dataset
const dataset = new gridviz.CSVGrid(
    map,
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurostat/gridviz/master/assets/csv/Europe/pop_2018_10km.csv',
    10000
)

//define color for each cell
const colorFunction = (cell) => {
    if (cell.population > 150000) return '#993404'
    else if (cell.population > 60000) return '#d95f0e'
    else if (cell.population > 20000) return '#fe9929'
    else if (cell.population > 6000) return '#fec44f'
    else if (cell.population > 1500) return '#fee391'
    else return '#ffffd4'
}

//define style
const style = new gridviz.ShapeColorSizeStyle({ color: colorFunction })

//add layer to map
map.layers = [new gridviz.GridLayer(dataset, [style])]

Grid tiling

In order to visualize large grids efficiently, you can produce tiled grids in a tiled grid format with GridTiler.
