MAP tools for Connectivity Knowledge

The map knowledge package provides a Python wrapper for flatmap-related SCKAN queries, and an additional package, map tools, allows SCKAN connectivity to be viewed and explored in a Jupyter notebook.

Flatmap viewer

This is a viewer for anatomical flatmaps generated by map maker. The viewer is intended to be a component of a larger JavaScript web application, although it may be used standalone for local flatmap development and testing. Flatmap content is obtained from a flatmap server. The viewer application is based on the MapLibre open-source mapping library and uses industry standard interchange formats for web-based geographical maps.

The flatmap viewer’s source code is hosted on Github, which is where issues and feature requests can be raised and documentation can be found here.

The viewer is integrated with the SPARC portal via the flatmapvuer Vue component (see below). It can be integrated into a map server to allow a server’s maps to be explored independently to the SPARC Portal, as described in the map server’s documentation.

Releases are versioned in Github and available from the NPM repository.

Flatmap server

The flatmap server is the infrastructure where the generated map tiles are archived and made accessible to a flatmap viewer for display of flatmaps.
