Run example visualizations in Storybook:

docker run -p 8080:80 kopernick/geovis-core-storybook:latest

What's in here?

For my Bachelor's thesis, I've implemented a library for developing geographical visualizations for the web and an example application that utilizes it. The library provides basic orbit camera abstractions and controls. The visualization system is fully extensible, allowing one visualization to be built on top of another.

Directories:

• docs - LaTeX source and output of the thesis
• engine - geographical visualization library with example visualizations
• testTileService - service simulating OpenStreetMap endpoints to test visualization based on tiles
• app - SPA that imports the engine library and allows switching between visualizations
