Interactive Linked Micromap Plots and Dynamically Conditioned Choropleth Maps

Overview This paper introduces interactive extensions to two recently developed templates for displaying geospatially-indexed estimates. The first template, linked micromap plots, links small generalized maps with statistical panels that describe regions. Research centered at the National Cancer Institute addressed the task of communicating state and county cancer statistics and tailored this template to show estimates, confidence intervals, and Healthy People 2010 target values. The research also integrated interactive options, such as variable selection, sorting, fixed header scrolling, mouse tips, enlarged dynamic map views and drill down, in a Java applet. This template has fared well in early usability tests. The second template, called conditioned choropleth maps, seeks to improve hypothesis generation about the spatial patterns shown in a classed choropleth map.
