Cartogram Map


A cartogram map is a mapping variable which substitutes thematics for land area.  It is essentially a distorted map which exaggerates and/or shrinks countries during its substitution process.  In the above distorted view f the world, we see that the actual cartography is altered when attempting to demonstrate the proportion with each country’s size weighted to reflect the size of the population.
