Python code for creating a dataset for a dot density map for every person in the U.S., color-coded by race and ethnicity.
This race map is amazing. But it's also now 10 years out of date. I don't think @unorthodox123 maintains this repo anymore... But either I or someone else should try...
Currently, the lightness between dots differ according to the race. For example, the [color of an asian dot](https://github.com/unorthodox123/RacialDotMap/blob/478f6fdb4b29bd54d3ff10e2b4933973738bc2a6/dotmap.pde#L179) is #FF0000, which is darker than #73B2FF, the [color of a white...
All dots are adjust to 53 lightness in Lab color scheme.
Sorry if you get this twice, I wrote to the demographers without thinking it might be better to ask about the code! I was reading an article today talking about...
License?
This is a really cool project. The visualisation is excellent. Could you clarify the license on this code? I'm thinking with regard to using it on data from other countries.
The URL in the README is incorrect. It currently points to here: http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/index.html That points to a 404 page. The URL should be changed to http://demographics.coopercenter.org/racial-dot-map/ or https://demographics.virginia.edu/DotMap/index.html
