Catogram templates for Africa in SVG and GeoJSON.
# africa-cartograms
This repository provides template cartograms of Africa in both SVG and GeoJSON formats.
It also includes a Python module with utility functions to convert SVG path data into valid GeoJSON geometries,
supporting workflows for geographic data visualization and transformation.
## SVG to GeoJSON example
```python
from svg_to_geojson.utils import parse_svg_to_geojson, plot_geojson
import geojson
input_file = "../hexmap/africa_hexmap.svg"
output_file = "../hexmap/africa_hexmap.geojson"
fc = parse_svg_to_geojson(input_file)
with open(output_file, "w") as f:
geojson.dump(fc, f, indent=2)
plot_geojson(output_file)
```
