Chinese cities shapefile

Question

I'm looking for a shapefile for Chinese cities so I can plot Chinese population size by cities. Does anyone know where I can get a shapefile? Also, how to incorporate it into JMP? And where are shapefiles stored in JMP?

Thanks,

Walt Paczkowski

Hi Walt,

Mainland China provinces shapefiles are already present in your JMP installation, however in general a good resource where you can find ESRI Shapefiles for different countries in the world, is the following website:

If you want to know what you can do with them, and how to incorporate them in JMP, Jeff Perkinson years ago wrote a paper for JMP V9:

Create Compelling Visualizations with Geographic Data and JMP® 9

that is still valid and useful: page 9 is a sort of tutorial (just change V9 path into V14, of course...)

Bye, Massimo
