Classed choropleth maps
The above map depicts a classed choropleth map. A classed choropleth map is a thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of the statistical variable being displayed on the map, such as population density or per-capita income. The map above depicts the 2004 presidential election.
Unclassed choropleth maps
The above image on the right shows an unclassed choropleth map. An unclassed choropleth map is a cloropleth map that used shading and variation of colors rather than set colors with a legend or key, making it unclassed. The confusion and uncertainty of the different shades of color make this type of map widely unused. You can see the side by side comparison between an unclassed and a classed map. The unclassed map contain no legend or key and does not vary in color as much.
Bivariate choropleth maps
The picture above shows a bivariate choropleth map. A bivariate map used a single map to show two variables by combining two different sets of graphic symbols or colors. This particular map depicts olympic athletes.
Univariate choropleth maps
Above is a univariate choropleth map. This type of map shows one variable being analyzed using standard classification methods of cholopleth maps. In this case we are shown the percentage of individuals living in poverty.
Standardized choropleth maps
This image shows a standardized choropleth map. Standardized choropleth maps contain data that are standardized or averaged, allowing for an accurate comparison of distribution amongst particular areas. The above map depicts a census taken for people 14 and under in Canada.
Unstandardized choropleth maps
This is a image of an unstandardized choropleth map. This map depicts the election results for 2004. Because the map uses raw data that isn't split into equal sections, it is considered unstandardized. The different shades of red versus the different shades of blue show the unequal points on the map.
Nominal area choropleth map
This image shows a nominal area choropleth map. A nominal area choropleth map shows predefined aerial units. Usually a nominal area choropleth will have a graded color series, showing the different levels of intensity based off of a gradual color change from light to dark. The colors in the map above depicts different sets of data. A legend color coats and labels the data.
Bilateral graph
The image above depicts a bilateral graph. Relative to a bar graph, a bilateral graph compares two or more variables side by side for a particular subject. This bilateral graph shows the percentage of people and their answers for the survey question, categorized in three different regions.
Accumulative line graph or Lorenz curve
This graph depicts a Lorenz curve. The Lorenz curve represents the cumulative distribution function graphically, showing the proportion of the distribution, often used in income distribution. This graph indicates the cumulative percentage of wealth relative to the cumulative percentage of households.
Index value plot
Shown above is an Index value plot. An index value plot, has index values plotted instead of an actual numbers. Index value plots give a comparison, or normal, in order to base values off of. The above index value plot comes from the Dow Jones industrial average values depicting the return on the closing price.
Population profile

The graph above shows a population profile. A population profile is a graph that gauges a number of people and organizes them by their age. This population profile is depicted by a horizontal bar graph, showing the number of people from three different decades. The ages span from under 5 through 75 and over.
Climograph
http://mrordovensky.edublogs.org/2011/12/20/all-classes-climograph-and-question-worksheet-due-tomorrow-quiz-thurs-1222/
The above image is a climograph. A climograph gives a visual description of the climate in a specific location. Temperature and precipitation can be gauged for a specific location and is shown on the graph. The above climograph shows the climate for Adelaide, Australia.
Windrose
The above image depicts a windrose. A windrose is used by meteorologists to give a short visual summary of how wind speed and direction are typically scattered at a specific location. The windrose above shows the wind blowing south west at speeds ranging from 5-20mph.
Triangular plot
The above graph is a triangular plot or ternary plot. It graphically depicts the ratios of the three variables as positions in an equilateral triangle. It is used in many different srudies to show the compositions of systems composed of three species.
Parallel coordinate graph
The graph depicted above is a parallel coordinate graph. Parallel coordinate graphs show a set of points in a common way of visualizing high-dimensional geography and analyzing multivariate data. The above graph displays the relationship of multidimensional data among variables.
Histogram
The above image shows a histogram. A histogram, similar to a bar graph, is a graphical representation showing a visual impression of the distribution of data. The above histogram shows the mass of a particle. The graph does not show a clearly defined peak or any sort of symmetry, giving the reader an imprecise and uncertain mass of the particle.
Stem and leaf plot
http://www.shmoop.com/basic-statistics-probability/stem-leaf-plots.html
The above image displays a stem and leaf plot. A stem and leaf plot is a device for presenting quantitative data in a graphical format to assist in visualizing the shape of a distribution. The above stem and leaf plot displays fifteen different numbers arranged in descending order on the stem side. The numbers interpreted by the plot are: 90, 94, 83, 84, 85, 87, 89, 79, 72, 72, 79, 65, 68, 69, 53.
Similarity matrix
The above image shows a similarity matrix. Similarity matrices are used in sequence alignment. Higher scores are given to more-similar characters, and lower or negative scores for dissimilar characters. This similarity matrix shows a group of human genes involved in colon and corectal cancer.
Correlation matrix
The above post is a correlation matrix. A correlation Matrix is a matrix giving the correlations between all pairs of data sets. The correlation matrix above shows the calculated residue–residue-based correlated motions (dynamic cross-correlation map) "within a monomer of the HLADH from the 500-ps to 10-ns MD simulation of the HLADH⋅NAD+⋅PhCH2O−species."
