Thematic Maps |
|
Polygons are filled with a pattern corresponding to a range of data |
|
Constant value lines are drawn on a grid of interpolated values. |
|
Scaled symbols represent a data variable at each polygon, polyline, or point |
|
Number of dots in each polygon are proportional to the area's data value |
|
Group boundaries into territories for statistical analysis of data values |
|
Vectors show the direction and magnitude of the steepest slopes |
|
Shows a line graph of the data at each polygon, polyline, or point. |
|
Shows a unique graph for each object data set |
|
Draw color gradients based on points, areas, or curves |
|
Bar charts represent multiple data variables at each area, curve, or point |
|
Draw curve widths based on data values |
|
Areas are represented as 3D prisms whose height is proportional to the data |
|
Pie charts represent multiple data variables at each area, curve, or point |
|
