'''Article(s):''' [[List of postcode areas in the United Kingdom]]
'''Request:''' Can someone make a simple black and white svg map of the postal areas in the United Kingdom? There are a couple maps on the net [http://www.businesslistsuk.com/postcode_map.htm][http://www.werelate.org/wiki/England_research_guide][http://www.whichlist.com/Support/UK-Postcode-Map.php][http://www.conservationregister.com/PostalAreas.asp].[[User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|Brianann MacAmhlaidh]] ([[User talk:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|talk]]) 11:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
*Cool, thanks Classical geographer. The article gets about a 1,000 hits a day [http://stats.grok.se/en/200912/List_of_postcode_areas_in_the_United_Kingdom], and i think it'd really help people out if they can visualise the list there. Another thing was that i was working on a surname article (''[[McQueen (surname)]]'') and one site [http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/] lists the frequency of surnames by these postal areas. So if you can come up with an svg version it could be the base for coloured name-distribution maps too.--[[User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|Brianann MacAmhlaidh]] ([[User talk:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|talk]]) 05:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, there's a map on Commons already, but it's in colour, and PNG. Yet it provides a link to OpenStreetmap, from which an SVG can be extracted as well. I'll give that a try, unless someone else is willing to take it up. [[User:Classical geographer|Classical geographer]] ([[User talk:Classical geographer|talk]]) 18:44, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

:::The Commons map is a good effort but beware of several mistakes. Chelmsford is not on Teesside, nor Motherwell in Fife, and I can see a dozen more subtle errors. London and perhaps NW England need an inset to fit in the missing labels. [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 14:05, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

:Unfortunately I don't, nor can I find it on the website. I will email the Storm Prediction Center and see if I can get ahold of it or whatever else they used to create the map.

If/when this gets completed, obviously it should be a different color scheme. This must be the least intuitive gradient I have ever seen. [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 16:42, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
::If you can find the data in tabular form, [[User:TastyCakes/Map Maker|this script]] could be used to make a map, similar to what I did [[:File:US Poverty Rates.svg|here]]. I think that would be much less time intensive, and more accurate, than copying the existing maps by hand. [[User:TastyCakes|TastyCakes]] ([[User talk:TastyCakes|talk]]) 17:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Says Greg Carbin of the SPC:
{{Cquote|I do have this data in a form that uses county fips codes and the number of times the county has been in a watch. If you can use fips codes to do your plotting, I'd be glad to dig this up and send it along.}}
Does FIPS codes work to create the maps? [[w:User:Ks0stm|<b style="color:#009900;">Ks0stm</b>]] <sup>([[User talk:Ks0stm|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Ks0stm|C]]•[[User:Ks0stm/Guestbook|G]])</sup> 20:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
:FIPS codes are unique standard codes for each country (or equivalent such as parish in LA) in the US. A complete list is at http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/co-codes/states.htm. This should be usable with the script mentioned above (the blank US country map included uses FIPS codes), but, I haven't played with it. Seemingly the data format should be Name (presumably FIPS) column and Data column. However is the data giving averages for 1999-2008 (or equivalent set of years) or does it give counts for each year and the average have to be calculated? --[[User:Erp|Erp]] ([[User talk:Erp|talk]]) 02:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
::Yes, the FIPS codes are what are used in my plotting script. If he could provide the data like that it'd be perfect. The script might have to be modified to change the data column used, but that should be trivial. [[User:TastyCakes|TastyCakes]] ([[User talk:TastyCakes|talk]]) 17:36, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
:::I replied saying that the FIPS code data would work...now it's just a matter of waiting on the data. [[w:User:Ks0stm|<b style="color:#009900;">Ks0stm</b>]] <sup>([[User talk:Ks0stm|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/Ks0stm|C]]•[[User:Ks0stm/Guestbook|G]])</sup> 20:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Great, I have uploaded SVG versions. I haven't put a legend or title on them because I prefer to put those in the thumbnail box with the picture when it's being shown (also makes it easier for people to use on other language Wikipedias), but I can change that if you guys want. [[User:TastyCakes|TastyCakes]] ([[User talk:TastyCakes|talk]]) 16:20, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
:I like the result the way you presented it in the [[tornado watch]] article...very good work. I'll save these files and email them back to the Storm Prediction Center, as Mr. Carbin was interested in seeing the result. Many thanks, TastyCakes.
