In the previous post, we created a network close enough to reality so that finding routes between stations was possible and sufficiently interesting. In this final post in the series, we’re going to see how to handle indirect connections between stations.| P.T.C.
A real tram network is more like a web of interconnecting lines. Although more lines mean more complexity, they allow Map::Tube to better reflect reality and thus be more useful and interesting.| P.T.C.
Mohammad Sajid Anwar’s post in last year’s Perl Advent Calendar about his Map::Tube module intrigued me. I decided I wanted to build such a map for the tram network in the city where I live: Hannover, Germany. Along the way, I thought it’d be nice to have a detailed HOWTO explaining the steps needed to create a Map::Tube map for one’s city of interest. Since I enjoy explaining things in detail, this got … long. So I broke it up into parts.| P.T.C.
