Cartogram

In a cartogram areas on a map, such as countries, states or counties are distorted to reflect some statistical valule such as population, income, or rainfall. There are now numerous computer programs which generate cartograms from a base map and a data set.

In the cartogram the relative sizes of the states have been distorted to reflect their respective number of electoral votes

  1. There are three types of card catalogue.
    Classified catalogue, author catalogue, and title catalogue.
    Use the classified catalogue when you do not know the author or the title of a book, or when you want to search about a specific subject thoroughly.
