Projects and Other Coding

This page contains links to projects I contribute to or have written at some point in the past and might get back to at some point in the future.

• ShapefileViewer - A simple Swing program that allows you to open a Shapefile and style it using any of the attributes. It then provides an export to SVG for the map and SLD for use in GeoServer.
• Spatial Cluster Detection a library of methods that allow the user to detect spatial clusters, includes GAM, Besag & Newell amongst others. Some of this code was funded by the EU under the Framework 5 SPIN! project.
• Shape Metrics this library was developed while I lived in the USA and thought that it would be easy to re-implement the ZDes algorithms of Openshaw to fix their broken voting districts. However I lost interest when it turned out that voting districts are broken by design. I may revisit this at some future date (especially if the UK reduces the number of MPs).
• GeoTools I am on the Program Steering Committee for the GeoTools project and submit patches and bug fixes to the project regularly.
