激发创建连续区域制图的良好实践
Motivating Good Practices for the Creation of Contiguous Area Cartograms
摘要：
地图图是其中区域的面积（例如，国家或省）与专题映射变量（例如，人口或国内生产总值）。如果地图图保持地理上相邻的区域连接，则称为连续地图图。在过去几年中，开发了几种网络工具，用于创建连续的制图。然而，这些工具中的大多数并不建议如何正确使用制图。为了减轻这些缺点，我们试图通过我们最近开发的Web应用程序go-cart.io建立良好的实践：（1）使用地图来显示数字数据，这些数据加起来可以解释总数，（2）在使用相同配色方案的传统地图旁边显示地图，（3）指示某个区域的数据是否丢失，（4）包括图例，以便读者可以推断映射变量的大小，（5）如果地图以电子方式呈现，则通过交互式图形帮助读者。
英文摘要：
Cartograms are maps in which the areas of regions (e.g., countries or provinces) are proportional to a thematic mapping variable (e.g., population or gross domestic product). A cartogram is called contiguous if it keeps geographically adjacent regions connected. Over the past few years, several web tools have been developed for the creation of contiguous cartograms. However, most of these tools do not advise how to use cartograms correctly. To mitigate these shortcomings, we attempt to establish good practices through our recently developed web application go-cart.io: (1) use cartograms to show numeric data that add up to an interpretable total, (2) present a cartogram alongside a conventional map that uses the same color scheme, (3) indicate whether the data for a region are missing, (4) include a legend so that readers can infer the magnitude of the mapping variable, (5) if a cartogram is presented electronically, assist readers with interactive graphics.
