Thanks for sharing these guys. They are all uniquely cool, interesting, and packed with information. One thought I have is often a legend is missing or some quick, easy instructions on how to "play with" the map. Otherwise, I really enjoyed looking over all of them and sent a few out to family and friends.
Thanks Again! _____________________________________________________________________ Catherine Burton Member, <http://www.endpointenvironmental.com/> Endpoint Environmental LLC Lead Organizer, <http://web.meetup.com/49/> Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Meetup Group Office: (415) 668-4222 Cell: (415) 902-0403 Creating Your Map From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of sophia parafina Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 9:19 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geowanking] Cool Temporal Animations Returning to the topic at hand. I question if animation is necessary to convey temporal dimensions in a data set. Temporal data can be presented as a series of small multiples, a la Tufte: http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2005/12/images/1severe-storm-animation. gif Alternatively, something as simple as making use of a browser's scroll bar can also convey temporal changes: http://www.simonhoegsberg.com/we_are_all_gonna_die/slider.html On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 11:48 AM, P Kishor <[email protected]> wrote: On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 10:34 AM, sophia parafina <[email protected]> wrote: > may I suggest chrononanism as a more mellifluous term?
