Labels and legends

[kylekyle]

This gem is fantastic. It's even better in IRuby. I used it to make the maps in a few of my presentations. It was kind of tacky (and ugly) trying to add the labels or legends.

I realize it's probably a ton of work to add labels and legends, but it would definitely be an appreciated feature. Either way, thanks for the gem!

Thank you!

Yes, I'm thinking about labels and legends, just need to invent simple yet powerful API/interface for this without inventing Comprehensive Legend Description Framework.

It'd be helpful if you could describe some expected usages (what you'd want to pass as an options and what you'd expect to see on the picture).

The only maps I've made so far have shown relative volumes using gradients. A legend that shows the gradient values would be helpful. Here's an example that's kind of what I'm shooting for:

Being able to label points on the map would be super useful. A good example is capitals:

Well, thank you!
I'll try to do some quick experiment this week to understand whether it can be done in a pretty way.

Any progress on this. I would like to plot multiple lat/lon on this map.

Sorry, currently have heavy time working on another open-source project with (grant) deadline March 3. And daily job, of course :)

But I really want to make worldize better, so immediately after grant deadline I plan to code heavily on this project.

Thanks for your interest, it inspires me to do better.
