I've been having fun playing w/ the stats
I'm doing an animation showing logs/caches over time... really shows the explosion of geocaching in tasmania
eg:
Link goes to gallery of sample images.
If anyone is interested, PM me and I can email the animation (approx 4.5mb)
I havent' hosted it on my gc.com.au site as its a little big........

The Animation uses a combination of:caughtatwork wrote:That's mighty cool.
What be the magic that does this?
POVray
MySQL
PHP
ImageMagick
png2yuv
tcmplex
and probably some other stuff too.
Yes, I'm a nerd who loves stats, raytracing and animation... what else was there to do????
The animation has 1 day to a frame and takes about 1 minute from go to whoa.... funny to watch!

I was going to ask if it was ok to host it on my craigrat.geocaching.com.au site.......ideology wrote:excellent stuff!
is there an animation available online somewhere? are there any other variables that would be of interest to you to plot?
If it's ok with the i! evil geniuses then I'll chuck it there...
I'm planning to change the bars to show log types instead of density but thats about it for the moment.....

Is there any chance of getting the same done for other states?
I need a good map of said state in JPG or PNG format with known co-ords of the top left/bottom right sides of the bitmap, plus a GPX file of ALL the caches in that state (current and archived) (without logs is preferred).... My tool will use that GPX file to ...ummm<cough>... update my log database and then the animation can be run
Its a little convoluted, but I wouldnt mind doing another state or 6. Plus I havent tested my stats collector I use on another state yet.......
