           | unfortunately very custom.

       | This is terrific! However it seems that the charts are using feet
       | and the text is using meters. This should probably be addressed.

       | But reading the article you are constantly stuck negotiating
       | where the text is on and off screen and where the animation is.

       | feet/meter thing.
