AtlCrime

This serves as the official development branch of DSGT.

Instructions for getting started:

1. Clone the repository
2. link the pre-shared "data" folder into the repository (Projects/CrimeMap/data in the google drive), so the new structure is as depicted:

    AtlCrime/ 
        data/ 
           file1... 
        Crime.ipynb 
        index.html 
        ```
   

3. Startup jupyter notebook
4. Get to work!

How it Works

In the member Google Drive, there is a folder called "Atlanta Crime Data", in *Projects/CrimeMap/data. Once that has been added to the repository, the python code reads that in. Then, it histograms the crime data and creates a path around each contour. It then writes these variables to a Javascript file (in the format var <varname> = <JSON object> In the javascript files, we use Google Map's Javascript Polygon API to create polygons from these paths and plot them on a map.
