WhirlyGlobe is a self contained 3D earth display view suitable for use in iPhone and iPad
applications. The globe is rendered in OpenGL ES with a configurable multi-part texture and
allows for vector data overlays. It is intended as a (relatively) lightweight widget that can be
dropped in to your app to do simple data overlay and interaction with a globe. It can also do
more heavy duty data interaction if you want to use it as the centerpiece for a globe based app.
Updates and Documentation
Announcements and such can be found on the mousebird consulting blog. There's also a
@mousebirdc twitter account for some reason. That's great for watching me try to organize
lunch at a random conference. Thrilling.
I've provided class level documentation for the WhirlyGlobe library itself.
Current Release
The new release is tagged 1.1. I've moved to a framework distribution and upgraded to the
Eigen 3 toolkit. There are a few ways to get it now.
� Sync to 1.1 here: http://whirlyglobe.googlecode.com/svn/tags/release-1_1
� Download the 1.1 WhirlyGlobe framework from the Downloads tab
� Download the starter kit, which includes the 1.1 framework
By popular request I've made an all inclusive starter kit. This contains the WhirlyGlobe library
framework, three of the test apps, and all the open source libraries WhirlyGlobe uses. It's
called WhirlyGlobe_1-1_Starter_Pack.zip on the downloads page. No documentation
for that yet, just load the projects and compile. All paths are relative.
You're always welcome to sync to the trunk, but that's my personal playground. Consider
yourself warned.
WhirlyGraph
The idea is to display simple bar graph data on top of country outlines on an interactive 3D
globe. You could select countries of interest and see how they compare in an overall data set,
