Contributing

Not all the seas are yet in this collection, we only have 26 😞 But you can help by following these steps:

  • Install QGIS (it's free)
  • Install the Bezier Editing plugin
  • Add data.geojson to your QGIS project
  • Add with the line tool and the Bezier tools some seas (don't worry about the translations)
  • If you want straight lines, add the country id to the idsOfLabelsWithStraightLine in straightenLines.js and run node modifyData/straightenLines.js
  • If you make a pull request, I can run the translation script
  • if you want to translate yourself, get an API key from Microsoft Translator (it's free) and add .env file in the modifyData folder with the following content: AZURE_TRANSLATE_KEY=YOUR KEY HERE. Navigate to modifyData and run npm install && node translateLabels.js
