Tile Grid Map JSON File + XAML WorldMap

XAML WorldMap

Based on the work of Maarten Lambrechts (https://twitter.com/maartenzam) and Mustafa Saifee (https://twitter.com/mustafasaifee42), I will share another version of the TileGridMap, implemented in WPF XAML.

You only need two classes (both can be found under: Tile-Grid-Map/TileGridMapWpf/CorpusExplorer.Sdk.Extern.TileGridMap/):

EasyCountryCodeMapper.cs Allows fast mapping of city- or country-lists - stored in a CSV file. The first column must contain the (unique) city/country-name the second column must contain the alpha-3 code (all operations in this visualization use alpha-3).
TileGridMap.xaml Contains the visualization and some very helpful functions. For example: you can manipulate the border and/or background of each tile. Automatic insertion of Alpha-2, Alpha-3 and country names is also possible. The FixInnerBorder()-function eliminates unattractive boundary lines between two territories.

TileGridMapTest

An example project, with some basic settings.

TileGridMapJsonToXamlConverter

Converts a JSON file to a XAML-Snippet. If it's necessary to provide another map.

Notes:

To create CorpusExplorer.SDK.External.TileGridMap you need to create a strong name certificate.
You should also copy the GridTileMap.json to the project output.
XAML provides multiple control nestings, so you can show a control/chart over the county.

Tile Grid Map JSON File

JSON file with the coordinate for world tile grid map. This JSON file is generated using the Tile Grid Map arrangement by Jon Schwabish and the ISO-3166-Countries-with-Regional-Codes database by Luke Duncalfe(There are a few of differences between Jon's Tile grid map arrangement and the json file: India; Sri Lanka and Maldives are moved one unit up).

I used the excel file provided by Jon here; and converted it to csv and then used a python script to combine that with the country list.

What does the data look like?

Tile-Grid-Map-Full.json - It contains all the countries (some without the coordinates).

Tile-Grid-Map-Cleaned.json - Contains only the countries which were mentioned Tile Grid Map arrangment by Jon.

The coordinates start from 0,0 and not from 1,1

A single data object looks like

"name": "Canada",

"alpha-2": "CA",

"alpha-3": "CAN",

"country-code": "124",

"iso_3166-2": "ISO 3166-2:CA",

"region": "Americas",

"sub-region": "Northern America",

"region-code": "019",

"sub-region-code": "021",

"coordinates": [1,1]
