I've built a solargraph simulator using solar irradiation data. Pick a place on Earth, animate the solargraph, draw just one point per hour for analemma view, or switch to panorama mode that projects the solargraph into a virtual sky you can navigate. eagereyes.org/app/solargraph

New article! A fantastic new tool Exploropleth: exploratory analysis of data binning methods in choropleth maps, from @arpitnarechania.bsky.social Alex Endert & Clio Andris doi.org/10.1080/1523... #GISchat website exploropleth.github.io video of the tool in action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNV8...

Figure 5. Combine View lets users analyze a) a combination of one or more binning methods by visualizing b) the most consistent Bin,
c) the frequency of the most consistent Bin, and d) both together for each U.S. county in separate choropleths. The new, resiliency
binning method then utilizes this information to g) determine “resilient” bins (counts, intervals) that are also visualized in
a choropleth. Hovering any county on the map shows a tooltip with relevant information about the county, as shown in e) and f).
