Micromaps

Contact

Micromaps are graphics of statistical data linked to an organized series of small maps.
The 3 types of micromaps are:

Linked: add geographic context to row-labeled plots by adding a small map for each group of rows.

Conditioned: two variables are used to partition a single map into a 3-by-3 grid of maps.

Comparative: one- or two-way sequences of maps indexed by time or another attribute.
