Dave Bradlee
This application requires Silverlight 2.0 (from Microsoft), which runs on both Mac and Windows.
Main Features
* Select state and number of congressional districts (CDs)
* Use mouse to sweep across map and assign block groups or voting districts to CDs
(block groups usually contain about 4 voting districts; using the larger size makes things more manageable)
* Assign block groups according old CDs with one click
* Pan/Zoom
* Save/Open your work in XML (saved in isolated storage)
* Use 2000 census numbers or updated (2008) census estimates
* Show/Unshow city, county and old CDs
* Create area maps of zoomed in areas
* Save state and area maps in XML
(A separate Windows app can read the XML and produce JPGs; Silverlight won't allowing saving as JPGs directly; the Windows app and the schema for the XML are available for download; see Redistricting App Help)
