Lab 9: Color Choropleth

Lab 9 presented us with color choropleth mapping. The difference between the printed version and the web version are noticeable. The colors and boundaries on the digital version appear more bold and defined than that on the paper copy. The paper itself, on the printed version, looks rough and definitely not as sleek and smooth as the web version. The color scheme and variation between interval classes appears to have remained distinctively in tact in both versions. The viewer can clearly decipher between the data classes.

choropleth... not chLoropleth

Here is weather map of precipitation approaching the Great Lakes. Each color on these types of maps represent an interval of data that has been measured.

This is an example of a proportional symbol map that I came across this week.
