Working on some figures for the upcoming paper on A5 that explain the cell layout. This one I find particularly pleasing, how the jagged dodecahedron faces mesh perfectly once projected onto the sphere #dataviz #javascript #geospatial #maps
felixpalmer.github.io/hex-grid-dod... Demo of how a hex grid can be laid out on the faces of a dodecahedron, rather than the usual icosahedron. Mental model: - Icosahedron: hex lattice on a triangle with a fifth of a pentagon cell in each corner - Dodecahedron: pentagon centered, hex rings around
Just added an example to the A5 website, featuring a live #DuckDB console to query and visualize datasets like population and elevation, on the A5 pentagonal grid system a5geo.org/examples/duc... First post here, planning to share more about A5geo.org and deck.gl 👋 #dataviz #geospatial #maps
