Mapping Minard's Napoleon Period Of Time Map

Charles Minard was a pioneer of the role of graphics inwards technology scientific discipline together with statistics. Probably his close famous creation was a catamenia map showing Napoleon's disastrous Russian motility of 1812. His map displayed:

• the army's place together with direction, showing where units split upward off together with rejoined
• the declining size of the terra firma forces
• the freezing temperatures (by date) during the retreat

Napoleon's March, Leaflet Data Visualization Framework's modern reworking of Minard's catamenia map is a skilful endeavor at a slippy map visualization of the Napoleonic army's movements together with dwindling size. Unfortunately the map lack's Minard's temperature nautical chart that visualized the freezing temperatures faced yesteryear Napoleon's terra firma forces every bit they pushed eastwards.

There used to live a skilful Google Maps based visualization of Minard's catamenia map, created yesteryear Mike Bostock. Unfortunately Minard's Naopleon has fallen fowl of Google's discontinuation of version ii of the Google Maps API. Ironically the timeline temperature is all that survives now. However the code is even together with thus at that spot if anyone wants to update it to run amongst version iii of the Google Maps API.
