Metro Map Editor

[Neo-Zhixing]

Is it possible to add a metro map editor extension so that people with no programming background could help draw maps for other cities?

That's a really good suggestion. It would be a significant amount of work so I don't see an opportunity to make it happen in the near future, but I love the idea. I'll keep it around as a feature suggestion. And thanks for taking the time to comment.

1. See Metroflow Unfortunately, it is hard to use.
2. There is also memory underground by Brian Foo - http://memoryunderground.com/

I implemented a working prototype for iOS.

I'm writing it in Swift purely because I wanted to submit this project to Apple for a WWDC scholarship. Now the application was rejected, I think I'd better do that with js/d3. Cross-platform and easier to code. With that I'll try to make a metro map editor in summer vacation based on d3-tube-map.

@peter-doherty
Metroflow is good but I'd rather have an SVG based solution. Good to know there're people in similar need though.

@Neotoxin4365 That is awesome work.

I have started making a map using D3 from scratch. It seems that all I need is D3 line and circles. My target is to create the JSON data and have the map generate from there. I'm fitting the map inside geo json data too (map of France). Later, I will add in zoom and pan.
