@slowe@mastodon.me.ukI've worked on hex maps (strictly, cartograms) quite a bit over the years particularly for election visualisations where constituencies really should have equal weight but often they have very different visual weight on a geographic map. It's good to see that Australia's ABC have made a hex map for Australia. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-20/federal-election-map-lying/101076016
ABC NewsThe Australian election map has been lying to you
Keeping the hexes in state blocks and separating the states works better than trying to keep the whole country contiguous as it distorts it less.
@slowe that's such a good presentation format!
