From the post:
La Bella Italia
This example map of Italy showcases some ways you can style Kartograph maps. The base colors are defined in CSS, glow filters and image textures are applied in SVG.
Also you can see heavy use of symbols (labels and icons) as well as geo paths. The labels are set in the Aquiline font, created by Manfred Klein.
Notice the toggle layer visibility.
Now imagine that the layers were overlapping graph displays of heterogeneous information resources. Where you can increase or decrease the “noise” in the image.
