Polygons To Points

This tool will help you convert your polygon data in geoJSON or topoJSON to CSV file of polygon centroids.

Normalize Flows

Flow normalization helps remove the effect of total flow or population size by calculating the difference between the actual flow and the expected volume of flow for each pair of locations (nodes). We use an adjusted flow volume formula to calculate the expected number of flows between locations.

For more details in modularity function please refer to Guo (2009).

normalize flows

1. Please choose your flow file that contains three columns: origin, destination, and volume. Then click on Submit button.

2. Your flow file will be processed and returned back to you to download. The output file will include origin, destination, modularity, rawvolume and expectation columns. modularity column is the difference between observed flow (rawvolume) and expected flow (expectation) calculated based on the give formula.

3. Modularity values could be negative or positive. Negative values mean there are less observed flows, whereas positive values mean there are more observed flows than expected from an origin to a destination.

Test Server Connection (beta)

This is a testing tool to connect to the backend Java code, which will provide more complicated analysis tools for pre-processing your data before visualization.

Only for testing use! please input your file below:

Rules for manual input: 

Put your input like "30 40 50". It means you want to create 3 breaks at 30, 40, 50 separately, which will create 4 classes. You should input three number in minimum and eight numbers in maximum.

Error.

Error: Nodes and flows do NOT match!

Please make sure the origin and destination IDs used in flow csv file exist in the node file. Please upload your files and select the matching ID columns.
