Abstract

This chapter outlines techniques for visualizing spatial data, and describes methods that might be applied in the early phase of an analysis where the objective is to detect obvious spatial patterns and to screen a dataset for errors. It discusses the use of point data, aggregated data, and continuous data. It also considers elements of good cartography and other factors that need to be taken into account when communicating spatial information to a wider audience.
