For those who don’t know already, this is called a Voronoi diagram.
39 0 ReplySuck_on_my_Presence @lemmy.world I think I'm too stupid to understand this. How are they straight lines and not at a diameter / in a circle from any given point? It seems... wrong.

On this map, you can see why Denmark's capital is Copenhagen. When Denmark controlled Scania and Schleswig-Holstein, it was much more centrally located than today. The borders of Denmark in this map correspond roughly to the borders before the Treaty of Roskilde.

it's also weirdly accurate to where people might commute to copenhagen today

Sphks @jlai.lu I think that these should not be straight lines regarding that the Earth is a sphere. Especially between Moscow and Helsinki.

it should also take into account transport feasability to at least some degree, like no one in their right mind would associate narvik with helsinki..

4 0 Replysem @lemmy.blahaj.zone How did u make this
4 0 Replyshiny_idea @aussie.zone I don't know how NaytaData made it, but if I were doing it, I would do something like this:
- start with a "blank" un-coloured map of coastline and country borders
- put all the "capital" cities on the map
- make a temporary grid of points over the map and find the closest city for each point
- paint the map based on those temporary grid points
I would use a computer but the same steps would work with paper & pen.
2 0 ReplySuck_on_my_Presence @lemmy.world If the OP is using GIS, it can be even easier.
Your first two steps are spot on, but then step three could simply be to add a large buffer for each capital and use some and/or/nor/xor (I'd have to look up to be certain) rules to have the buffer zones not overlap, but end where touching. Apply a color scheme and you're in business.
