Hi Pete, I've done similar maps with MI. I approached the mapping problem a bit differently, however. I did a thematic map by setting the ranges with the standard deviation method. I set 6 ranges (classes), so that the 2 "middle" classes where within 1 stdev of the mean, the first 2 where 2 & 3 stdev away from the mean (more women) and the last 2 where 2 & 3 stdev away from the mean (more men).
This method highlights the areas with more men/women compared to the average. The ones close to the mean I just colored gray (and men and women obviously as blue and red...), as I was more interested in finding "hotspots" of women and men in the city. I'm personally not too fond of piecharts from data that only has two variables. Miika Mäkelä, Geographer (MSc student) Helsinki, Finland p.s. I'm a new reader of this list and this is the first time I participate in discussion. I hope I have not broken any (un-written) rules of conduct. --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 17874
