Thematic maps

Animal migration

Animal migration is the relatively long-distance movement of individual animals, usually on a seasonal basis.

A cartogram (also called a value-area map or an anamorphic map, the latter common among German-speakers) is a thematic map of a set of features (countries, provinces, etc.), in which their geographic size is altered to be directly proportional to a selected variable, such as travel time, population, or gross national income. Flow map and cartogram are thematic maps.

Cartography

Cartography (from χάρτης chartēs, 'papyrus, sheet of paper, map'; and γράφειν graphein, 'write') is the study and practice of making and using maps.

See Flow map and Cartography

Charles Joseph Minard

Charles Joseph Minard (27 March 1781 – 24 October 1870) was a French civil engineer recognized for his significant contribution in the field of information graphics in civil engineering and statistics.

Eduard Imhof

Eduard Imhof (25 January 1895 – 27 April 1986) was a professor of cartography at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich, from 1925 to 1965.

Environmental flow

Environmental flows describe the quantity, timing, and quality of water flows required to sustain freshwater and estuarine ecosystems and the human livelihoods and well being that depend on these ecosystems.

See Flow map and Environmental flow

Flow diagram

Flow diagram is a diagram representing a flow or set of dynamic relationships in a system.

See Flow map and Flow diagram

French invasion of Russia

The French invasion of Russia, also known as the Russian campaign (Campagne de Russie) and in Russia as the Patriotic War of 1812 (Otéchestvennaya voyná 1812 góda), was initiated by Napoleon with the aim of compelling the Russian Empire to comply with the continental blockade of the United Kingdom.

Geographic information system

A geographic information system (GIS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software that store, manage, analyze, edit, output, and visualize geographic data.

See Flow map and Geographic information system

Graphics software

In computer graphics, graphics software refers to a program or collection of programs that enable a person to manipulate images or models visually on a computer.

See Flow map and Graphics software

History of French wine

The history of French wine, spans a period of at least 2600 years dating to the founding of Massalia in the 6th century BC by Phocaeans with the possibility that viticulture existed much earlier.

History of neuroimaging

Neuroimaging is a medical technique that allows doctors and researchers to take pictures of the inner workings of the body or brain of a patient.

See Flow map and History of neuroimaging

History of rail transport in Ireland

The history of rail transport in Ireland began only a decade later than that of Great Britain.

Hue

In color theory, hue is one of the main properties (called color appearance parameters) of a color, defined technically in the CIECAM02 model as "the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet," within certain theories of color vision.

Human geography

Human geography or anthropogeography is the branch of geography which studies spatial relationships between human communities, cultures, economies, and their interactions with the environment, examples of which include urban sprawl and urban redevelopment.

See Flow map and Human geography

Human migration

Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another, with intentions of settling, permanently or temporarily, at a new location (geographic region).

See Flow map and Human migration

International trade

International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories because there is a need or want of goods or services.

See Flow map and International trade

Level of measurement

Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of information within the values assigned to variables.

See Flow map and Level of measurement

Lightness

Lightness is a visual perception of the luminance (L) of an object.

See Flow map and Lightness

Logistics

Logistics is the part of supply chain management that deals with the efficient forward and reverse flow of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption according to the needs of customers.

See Flow map and Logistics

Map

A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes.

See Flow map and Map

Map symbol

A map symbol or cartographic symbol is a graphical device used to visually represent a real-world feature on a map, working in the same fashion as other forms of symbols.

See Flow map and Map symbol

Ocean current

An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences.

See Flow map and Ocean current

Physical geography

Physical geography (also known as physiography) is one of the three main branches of geography.

See Flow map and Physical geography

Point (typography)

In typography, the point is the smallest unit of measure.

See Flow map and Point (typography)

Proportional symbol map

A proportional symbol map or proportional point symbol map is a type of thematic map that uses map symbols that vary in size to represent a quantitative variable. Flow map and proportional symbol map are thematic maps.

See Flow map and Proportional symbol map

Public utility

A public utility company (usually just utility) is an organization that maintains the infrastructure for a public service (often also providing a service using that infrastructure).

See Flow map and Public utility

Random dynamical system

In the mathematical field of dynamical systems, a random dynamical system is a dynamical system in which the equations of motion have an element of randomness to them.

See Flow map and Random dynamical system

Raster graphics

smiley face in the top left corner is a raster image. When enlarged, individual pixels appear as squares. Enlarging further, each pixel can be analyzed, with their colors constructed through combination of the values for red, green and blue. In computer graphics and digital photography, a raster graphic represents a two-dimensional picture as a rectangular matrix or grid of pixels, viewable via a computer display, paper, or other display medium.

See Flow map and Raster graphics

Sankey diagram

Sankey diagrams are a data visualisation technique or flow diagram that emphasizes flow/movement/change from one state to another or one time to another, in which the width of the arrows is proportional to the flow rate of the depicted extensive property.

See Flow map and Sankey diagram
