Here is the hardest map that I have had to make so far. This one was a real challenge due to the shear number of data points. I think this ties with the Dot Density map. This map just had a shear number of data points, while the DD map you could just place the points.

This is a little late, but better late then never. There really was not too much different in this map then the one in lab 6. I just used the ColorBrewer to find a suitable pallete. Otherwise it was just redoing the lab 6 map.

Dot Density

Here is my Dot Density map of the veterns of West Virginia.

Dot Density Example

Ok, this was the first idea that I had when I thought of an example of a dot density map. Please excuse the nerdiness. This is a map of the location of all of the people how are connected to the Internet playing Halo 3. This was taken on at 3:15 pm on the 5th of November. In 20 minutes, this will change as people log on and off. Since this is not being used for anything but a WOW factor, the only information provided is the total number of players online, there is no dot size or any other information.

Proportional Symbols

This was a fun lab for me. I had a very satisfying time working on it and I am proud to post it here for you to see.
