README for Geo::KML::PolyMap v 1.31 2007-03-01 ------- 1. Description ------- Geo::KML::PolyMap generates KML or KMZ-formatted maps for Google Earth. Given a set of polygonal regions and a number associated with each region (for example, city blocks and population counts on each block), Geo::KML::PolyMap generates a choropleth map showing the data value for each region as a shaded polygon. The polygons are divided into a number of bins, with the color of each bin unique. Optionally, Geo::KML::PolyMap will generate a legend along with the map file to illustrate the data ranges represented by each color. A good demo application (and the one for which this was designed) is located at http://gecensus.stanford.edu. This site uses the Geo::KML::PolyMap module to display maps of US Census data in Google Earth. If you develop an application that uses this, I'd love to hear about it.
