Here is some material from a presentation at this year’s\u00a0 AAG Annual Conference in Washington DC<\/a>. The presentation People powered maps: A population-centric map projection<\/a> was given in the session on Topics in GIS, Remote Sensing, and Spatial Analysis<\/a> and showed some new works on our grid-based cartograms (as presented at GISRUK 2009<\/a> and ESRI UC 2009<\/a>).
\nThe following animation shows the transformation of a topographic map of the United States, ending in a grid-based population cartogram (and then reversing). Please notice that loading the animation takes a while on slower internet connections:<\/p>\n
