How to put all the pieces together, and how to do it in a way that looks goodĪttached to this step are the laser cutting files I used to make my map of Washington.How to convert that into a laser cuttable format.How to custom make topographical contour maps.The basic process that I will explain in this tutorial is: I recently went on a quest to try and figure out how to make a push pin map using multi-layered cork based on topographical features, and after working through the process, I am pretty happy with my first prototype! In this tutorial, I will go through the process I developed to make this map, both what I thought worked well, and what I would recommend doing differently. If you are following along with this project and struggling with the resolution, I also shared this project on my website, which has clearer images. In a sample file I was editing earlier, each country did have a country code associated with it so I wonder if there is a more text-based approach to changing country colors.NOTE: The uploaded image resolution that Instructables is showing isn't great on some of the screenshots that I have in the steps below for navigating Maperitive and Inkscape. Lastly, in either of the above files, is there a way to change the color by going to a table (a list of the objects) of the countries, and simply editing from there? With smaller nations, I have to zoom in really close to be able to select it, and being able to go to an alphabetically list of the countries would be easier. Is there a sort of "Recent colors used" section in Inkscape? If so, is it saved to the file or the program itself? It's a little clunky to go back and forth, clicking on a country with the color I want, copying it, then going to the country I want to change, and pasting it in. I just did a test and was able to click on countries (since the countries are preset as individual objects), then paste the hex color code needed in. Here's a blank map that acts as a template for starting from scratch. Generally, I'll be using existing maps and simply editing the color of countries depending on what the key is and what the map is about.
I've just discovered Inkscape and I'd like to use it to update world maps on Wikipedia articles.
