  • pindleppemärkidel põhineva kujutusviisiga teemakaart, kus objektide pindala on muudetud nii, et see vastaks nähtuse atribuudi väärtusele; visualiseerimisel on probleemiks pindobjektide kuju kvaliteedi ja topoloogia säilitamine
pindalakaart
Usage examples
  • Rangelt võttes ei ole tegu kaardiga, kuna pindalakaart ei esita geograafilist ruumi, vaid hoopis muudab reaalsete objektide suurusi üksteise suhtes.
anamorfooskaart
Usage examples
  • Pindalakaart ehk anamorfooskaart on põhimõtteliselt sarnane joonisega, kuid nähtuste areaale on muudetud nii, et nende pindalade vahekorrad peegeldaksid vaadeldava arvulise väärtuse suurust.
cartogram
Usage examples
  • Sometimes, however, cartographers purposefully distort space based on values of an attribute; the resulting maps are known as cartograms.
Good to know
  • Levinumad alaliigid on distance cartograms ja area cartograms.
value-by-area map
Usage examples
  • Despite this surge of popularity, area cartograms—also known as value-by-area maps—are not without some serious limitations and their use is often more for their theatrical value (i.e., to grab the attention of an audience) and less for their ability to help folks understand subtle details of geographic datasets.
anamorphic map
Usage examples
  • Anamorphic maps hold a special place in the cartographic processing of spatial data; deciphering them leads us to question the shapes of geographic space, the represented territory and the base map.
