Scatter plots show the relationship between two variables by displaying data points on a two deminsional graph. Scatter plots can provide information about the relationship between the two variables including the strength, shape, and direction. This scatter plot shows the sexual orientation of transsexuals. The right bottom corner shows homosexual transsexuals and the upper left side shows non-homosexual transsexuals. The scale is 0 means no attraction and 100 is the highest possible level of attraction.

Population Profile

http://www.census.gov/2010census/

Population profile is a graph analyzing the extent to which a group of people exhibit a certain quality or characteristic. Both x- and y- axis are labeled with the analyzing factor range, and the graph consists of horizontal bars. This example looks at the amount of Population by sex and age in the 2010 Census of the District of Columbia. It seems as if there are more females between the ages of 20-30 than there are male. I choose this map because I thought it was easy to read and understand.

An index value plot is a type of visualization map in which an index value, instead of an absolute value. It is then plotted on a line in a line graph. This index value plot gives comparison values which are compared to a normal line which the values are based off of. This map shows average streamflow index in North Carolina. It seems like most of the stream flow is under or just meeting normal levels. 

Triangular Plot

This is a map of the Bermuda Triangle. This triangular map is called so because it shows the shape of a triangle. These were usually used during the time of trade of slaves and cash crops. These were maps that can be easily remembered because there are three distinct points to it. 

Cartograms

This type of map is known as a cartogram. A cartogram uses some thematic mapping variable. An example of this is travel time which is substituted for land area or distance. Being a distorted map, cartograms convey the information for the alternative variable. This cartogram shows the amount of singers by country of origin. 

Choropleth Maps

http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2002/Ag_Atlas_Maps/Crops_and_Plants/

A Cholorpleth map is a map that uses color to portray whatever variable it is describing. This map is describing acres used for hay protection in 2002. This map is a choropleth map because of its use of the different shades of green to portray the data of this map. The data on the map is the amount of different hay grown. I choose this map because the production of Hay interests me. And from the map we can tell the majority of hay is grown in the Midwest!
