Visualization Information
“What should be printed to facilitate “communication”, that is, to tell others what we know without a loss of information”
-Jacques Bertin, Paris, February 1983

Value
Increase/Decrease Contrast
The greater the difference in value between an object and its background, the greater the contrast.

Color Hues
Each of individual color is a hue
Colors have meaning (i.e. cool colors, warm colors, political meanings)
-Cool colors calming
-Warm colors exciting
-Cool colors appear smaller than warm colors and they visually recede on the page so red can visually overpower and stand out over blue even if used in equal amounts.

Choropleth Maps
Map using different colors or patterns to show different values

GIS 56
Classifying Data Process of placing data into groups that have a similar characteristic or value
![Page 57: GIS 1 GIS Lecture 2 Map Design. GIS 2 Outline Vector GIS Graphic Elements Colors Graphical Hierarchy Choropleth Maps Map Layers Scale Thresholds Hyperlinks.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032105/56649d235503460f949f9bec/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
GIS 57
Numeric Intervals Non-overlapping and exhaustive intervals covering the range of values for an attribute
•Keep the number of intervals as small as possible to help simplify the user’s ability to absorb information
•Cut points (break points) are points at which we choose to break the total attribute range up into these intervals
•Use a mathematical progression or formula instead of picking arbitrary values – less likely to be accused of manipulating data
![Page 58: GIS 1 GIS Lecture 2 Map Design. GIS 2 Outline Vector GIS Graphic Elements Colors Graphical Hierarchy Choropleth Maps Map Layers Scale Thresholds Hyperlinks.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032105/56649d235503460f949f9bec/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
GIS 58
Numeric Intervals (Continued)
Numeric interval options: Equal intervals-Consistent widths-Easy to understand-Use equal width intervals in multiples of 2,5, or 10.-Example: 0-100, 100-200, 200-300, 300 and greater
Increasing interval widths-Long-tailed distributions-Example: 0-5, 5-15, 15-35, 35-75

Numeric Intervals (Continued)
Exponential Scale-Popular method of increasing intervals-Use break values that are powers such as 2n or 3n-Generally start out with zero as an additional class if that value appears in your data -Example: 0, 1–2, 3–4, 5–8, 9–16, and so forth
Quantiles-Separating a distribution into equal sizes of feature attribute records per interval-Example: 0-25%, 25%-50%, 50%-75%,75%-100%

•Use quantile numeric scales for analytical maps, but use equal interval scales for general public maps

Normalizing Data
Divides one numeric attribute by another in order to minimize differences in values based on the size of areas or number of features in each area
Examples:•Dividing the 5 to 17 year-old population by the total population yields the percentage of people aged 5-17
•Dividing a value by the area of the feature yields a value per unit area, or density
