Hi,

This Thursday and Saturday we will have a small workshop on data storytelling and I would like to present Pharo/Roassal to the people there as a tool for creating and sharing visualizations.

My idea is to use Playgrounds to make agile visualization and then share them using cloud sharing at stfx and etherpads.
The maps I would like to make are similar to the ones that have colored countries [1][2], but using internal country geopolitical divisions. For the case of Colombia I would like to use the ones of [3], specifically something like [4] and use the same syntax of RTMetricMap inside the country.

So my question is:

- There is any way to upload this SGV maps and treat them as the maps already in RTMetricMap, telling the names of the internal geopolitical divisions inside a Country and how to color them according to a value and make them zoomable?

- Where can I start to look to support this feature?
