Nice. <cartographer grumble> don't use a value map (choropleth) for absolute values (data of measurement level ratio), Its perception properties makes for confused readers... </cartographer grumble>
:-) as an example of the power of SVG (for which I am sure it was meant), it is of course excellent. Note that on a display with portrait ratio the map is obscuring the title.

I've not tested it in IE9, but would be interested to know if it works there. I took a gnu-licensed SVG map from Wikimedia Commons and then wrote AJAX and JavaScript and PHP to take data from the US Census bureau's 82 variable set, shading the states accordingly. After a variable is chosen then you can mouseover each state to see its numeric value on that variable. Since it borrows from something with a GNU license I suppose you can't make profit out of it, but feel free to improve and share! cheers David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) University of Twente Chamber of Commerce: 501305360000 E-mail disclaimer The information in this e-mail, including any attachments, is intended for the addressee only.
