of geographic regions such as countries or provinces appear in proportion to
their population or some other demographic feature such as income.

-A windrose is a diagram indicating compass
directions on terms of eight principal winds.

-A triangular plot is a two-dimensional map in
which three variables are mapped. The ratios of the three variables are plotted
as positions within an equilateral triangle.
Scatterplot
-Scatter plots displays the values of a
dataset on a graph with two axis of variables.
Index value plot
-Index value plots are used to show change in
a variable that is constantly changing. Such values that are commonly graphed
are rainfall, stream flow, and temperature.
Star plots
-Star plots are used to graphically show data with more than one variable. Each star a whole represents a single data set and the points to the stars represent the variables that represent the data set.
-Star plots are used to graphically show data with more than one variable. Each star a whole represents a single data set and the points to the stars represent the variables that represent the data set.
Correlation matrix
-A correlation matrix takes into account several variables in this case 11 and shows how they relate to each other. In cartography correlation matrices can be used to show the relationship between everything from soil to temperature.

Similarity matrix
-Similarity matrix maps show the similarity between two points.
-Similarity matrix maps show the similarity between two points.
Stem and leaf plot
-Stem and leaf plots is a way of presenting
numerical data.
Parallel coordinate graph
-A parallel coordinate graph is a graph that shows information in several dimensions. Each variable is graphed on a vertical axis and each data element is plotted as a connected set of points, one on each axis.

Climograph
-Climograph - combines information about a
locales monthly precipitation and relating temperature conditions.
Digital Ortho Quarter-Quads( DOQQ)
-Digital ortho photo quarter quad or DOQQ is
an aerial photo that is digitally corrected so that the scale is uniform and

elevation height

color shading which is explained in the legend or key to the left hand side of
the map.

is divided into groups using classification procedures common to choropleth
mapping. The design goal is for symbol size discrimination, rather than
magnitude estimation.
