Distance Calculator This page was used to get walking distances from Google Maps. The walking distances calculated were used in the final visualizations for the paper.
Coordinate Adjuster (based on distances) This page was used to calculate the "apparent" coordinates of the actual places on the map, using distances calculated by the above page.
Delaunay Triangulation of Bony Map Click Next on the page to page it advance from place to place. This page (a sort of failed experiment) used a Delaunay triangulation to find paths throughout an entire network of nodes (the points marked by Bony in his map, included in the figures of this paper). The idea was that using the triangulation, the computer would visit every node and
Attempt to understand typology of Bony Map Click Next on this page to advance from place to place. This page elaborates on the previous link by only visiting and calculating distances to nodes that are of the same type, as defined by Bony in his map. The idea here was look for patterns in the connection of similar places, and to demonstrate the interconnectedness of the group's Bony describes. Unfortunately, I didn't really see anything.
Manual step-through coordinate adjuster This page demonstrates a step-by-step process like the second link listed here, except that here the coordinate are adjusted by traversing the Delaunay triangulation rather than the similar connect-one-point-to-all-the-other-points strategy. (( To use this page, first press "Set Origin". Then press "Visit nearest neighbors". Then press "Run the Queue" over and over again. ))
