This page is the formal authorship, copyright, license, and patent-status statement for the Dash Sylvereye project. The same text is published as NOTICE.md in the source repository.

Project​

Dash Sylvereye is a software library for the interactive visualization of large primal street networks in Plotly Dash applications.

Authorship and origin​

Dash Sylvereye was developed at the Observatorio Metropolitano CentroGeo, Centro de Investigación en Ciencias de Información Geoespacial, A.C. (CentroGeo), México.

The library's source code was authored by Alberto García-Robledo, who is the sole author of record in the INDAUTOR copyright registration (see below). The work has been continuously developed since 2021.

The library's architecture, its WebGL-accelerated rendering pipeline, its OSMnx and Plotly Dash integration, its performance evaluation on the street networks of Alameda, Enschede, Querétaro, and Beijing, its comparison against Kepler.gl and city-roads, and its application to a SUMO vehicle traffic simulation are described in the canonical IEEE Access publication cited above.

The source code of Dash Sylvereye is registered with the Instituto Nacional del Derecho de Autor (INDAUTOR) of the Estados Unidos Mexicanos, in the Registro Público del Derecho de Autor:
