Univariate Choropleth Map

This is an example of a Univariate Choropleth Map. This example illustrates Raw Civil Liberties score. These types are maps are used when objects need to be classified one at a time. These objects may need to be classified individually because when they are put next to something else they have multiple attributes rendering them incomparable.

Cartographic Animation

This is an example of a Cartographic Animation. This example is of the Elements of an animated map. These maps are good for depicting movement over a given period of time. By the use of frames, a viewer is able to see animation of real time.

Nominal Area Choropleth Map

This is an example of a Nominal Area Choropleth Map. This example is of Access to safe drinking water. This type of map uses different colors to illustrate nominal areas. The problem with this map is that there is no hierarchy or order given.

Continuously Variable Proportion Circle Map

This is an example of Continuously Variable Proportion Circle Map. This example is of Count Data for the Hispanic Population is the U.S.. The different symbol sizes represent categories of data values rather than unique values.

Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Map

This is an Example of a Public Land Survey System Map. This example is of Alaska. These maps are good for describing and dividing up land in the U.S.. This map in particular shows all land owned by private, federal and state ownership.

Cadastral Map

This is an example of a Cadastral Map. The example shown is of Egypt near the Nile River. Cadastral Maps are created by combining different types of Cadastrals into one image. This map in particular incorporates topographic imagery so as to allow it the ability to compare with other Cadastrals.

Proportional Circle Map

This is an example of a Proportional Circle Map. The example shown is of River Characteristics. The Size of the circles shown is directly proportional to the size of the channels of the rivers. The colors of the circles are related to the colors of the water.

Propaganda Map

This is an example of a Propaganda Map. This example illustrates Germany as a weak military state surrounded by strong military states. Looking at the map, the message trying to be conveyed that Germany is militarily weak can be shown by all of the other artillery being aimed at Germany which is empty.

Statistical Map

This is an example of a statistical map. This example is of Napoleon’s Russian campaign of 1812. A statistical map is very useful in giving a standard statistic of the functional time course over a specified set of periods. According to this graph the lines shown represent the sizes of Napoleon’s army over a given period of time.

Flow Map

This is an example of a Flow Map. This example illustrates how to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Flow maps are very useful because they can take a process and visually break it down into a series of steps. This flow map is very thorough in breaking down each step to get to the end process.

Star Plot

This is an example of a Star Plot. This is a Star Plot of MER IDD and Automated Designs. A star plot is a tool used for examining the relative behavior of all variables in a multivariate data set. In this example the center red line represents the most desirable behavior.

Correlation Matrix

This is an example of a Correlation Matrix. This example is a calculated protein correlation matrix for phage T7. According to this graph more similar info is shown in red while dissimilar info is shown in blue. Many methods of multivariate statistical analysis rely on a correlation matrix as the initial data.

Similarity Matrix

This is an example of a Similarity Matrix. This example is of a Genetic Similarity Matrix among 33 cannabis accessions. This type of graph illustrates a matrix of scores which express the similarity between two data points. For these types of graphs higher scores are given to more similar characters while more dissimilar characters are given lower scores.

Stem and Leaf Plots

This is an example of a stem and leaf plot. This example is of new housing starts in the U.S.. This type of graph is useful in presenting quantitative date in a graphical format. A basic stem and leaf plot is composed of two columns separated by a vertical line. The column on the left is the stem and the column on the right is the leaf

Boxplot

This is an example of a Boxplot. This example illustrates the number of daily hospital births in Canada per day of the week. According to this graph the main values are held in the center of the boxes while the tails of the boxes represent the min and max values.

Histogram

This is an example of a Histogram. The example shown is of results from a test given to theoretical students. The categories are usually specified as non-overlapping intervals of some variable. In this example each interval is illustrated by a different bar color and represents a different score range.

Parallel Coordinate Graph

This is an example of a Parallel Coordinate Graph. In this example the parallel system is plotting baseball statistics. In a Parallel system the coordinate graph is used to plot large multivariate datasets.

Triangular Plot

This is an example of a Triangular Plot. This example illustrates the different kinds of waters typically found in geothermal areas. An advantage of using this graph is that three different categories can be graphed on separate vertices that make the graph easy to interpret.

Windrose

This is an example of a Windrose. This example is of Seattle Washington. Windrose Graphs are a great tool for illustrating wind speed and direction in a particular location. The location of each spoke is directly related to the amount of windspeed coming from a particular direction.

Climograph

This is an example of a Climograph. This example is of the Boreal Region in Montreal, Canada. This graph represents the average precipitation and temperature values for a given place. It can be shown by the graph that the precipitation is higher in Quebec do to higher temperatures.
