Geovisto: A Toolkit for Generic Geospatial Data Visualization
Geospatial Data, Geovisualizations, Visual Authoring Tools
Today's requirements for visualization of geospatial data are continually rising.
Visualization authoring tools provide only limited support for this purpose. The
ability to create geovisualizations by non-programmers is often reliant on
template editing or visualization authoring tools. However, these tools are often
limited either in configuring visual parameters or interaction capabilities. In
our work, we identify the main limitations of current tools. Then, we propose
design requirements and describe the implementation of Geovisto---a toolkit
combining capabilities of the React, Leaflet, and D3.js frameworks in order to
provide tools for processing generic geospatial data and creating multilayered
reusable map widgets. We demonstrate our approach on two usage scenarios from
conceptually different application areas (DDoS attacks from a network monitoring
system and COVID-19 pandemics open data). Finally, we discuss the pros and cons
of our approach and outline our future work.
