  "description": "Every troop figure printed on Charles Minard's 1869 map of the French army's 1812–1813 campaign in Russia, one row per figure: an id, the nearest place labels, advance or retreat, which band (main, the branch toward Polotzk, the branch north of Kowno), the number of men as printed, the figure's horizontal position in the 2003-pixel image we read (map_x) and the same position rescaled so that the guide line at the Niemen is 0 and the one at Moscou is 100 (map_pct; a position on the drawing, not a distance or longitude), and a note.
