Basemap is impossible to install #16

Closed n1kdo closed 4 years ago

n1kdo commented 5 years ago

I was going to update N1MM_View to support Python 3 and the latest matplotlib, and I struck out trying to install basemap, it is a giant pain in the ass on Windows, and probably worse on Raspbian.

I think I want to re-factor the display logic to use javascript libraries d3s for the graphs and leaflet for the mapping. This will result in the displays needing a modern web browser to run, but will also allow stations on the network to display the graphics as well as the main monitor connected to the Pi.

On current Raspbian, numpy is already set up, and mature packages are available: python-matplotlib python-mpltoolkits.basemap

I have installed matplotlib and basemap manually on Pi Zero, and would never wish that horror on anyone. I hav no input for getting it done on Windows; I don't touch that stuff.

I am working to convert the map display to use Cartopy. I have a prototype working. It seems much faster than Basemap.

I have removed Basemap and replaced it with Cartopy, so this issue is now moot.
