Images of the social and economic world Here is an ordinary map of the world: Click on image for a larger version Roughly speaking, on a map like this, the sizes of the countries of the world are in proportion to their actual sizes on the surface of the planet and their shapes are the same as their actual shapes. (This is only approximate though, since some distortion is inevitable when you go from a spherical planet to a flat map.) It's possible, however, and sometimes very useful, to redraw the map with the sizes of countries made bigger or smaller in order to represent something of interest. Such maps are called cartograms and can be an effective and natural way of portraying geographic or social data.
Designers: Learn To Code! Here's How To Start A friend, formerly a competitive fighter, once asked me: "Have you ever been punched in the face?" He and I were about to get in a bar fight. He needed to know if I could handle myself: Apparently, the fear of getting punched in the face holds you back from being effective in a fight. How The Rainbow Color Map Misleads Colors are perhaps the visual property that people most often misuse in visualization without being aware of it. Variations of the rainbow colormap are very popular, and at the same time the most problematic and misleading. The rainbow color map is based on the colors in the light spectrum, and is sometimes done correctly, sometimes the colors are in the wrong order.

Sections and Outlines of an HTML5 Document - Web developer guide Note: The HTML5 outline algorithm as described below is not implemented in user agents, as a consequence, users who make use of heading semantics are exposed to the HTML 4 document structure. The description of problems solved by HTML5 is theoretical only. The HTML5 specification brings several new elements to web developers allowing them to describe the structure of a web document with standard semantics. This document describes these elements and how to use them to define the desired outline for any document. Structure of a Document in HTML 4 The structure of a document, i.e., the semantic structure of what is between <body> and </body>, is fundamental to presenting the page to the user.
Slippy Map Slippy map Slippy Map is, in general, a term referring to modern web maps which let you zoom and pan around (the map slips around when you drag the mouse). Here we often talk about "The Slippy Map" to mean the map display on the openstreetmap.org front page. This is a web interface for browsing rendered OpenStreetMap data.

adobe acrobat - How to make a multline form in pdf that text flows through? - Graphic Design Stack Exchange I'm working on a form that could be filled out manually, or submitted digitally. Here's the issue: When submitting digitally, I have certain forms that have 3 lines for the user to fill out a significant chunk of text. Instead of it compiling on one line using the 'multiline' checkbox in acrobat, can i have it automatically wrap to the next line as the user types to the end of the previous line? Basically, there are the normal lines which need to be there. I'm wondering if anyone has a script (and how to implement) that would allow when a line is full, to jump to the next line down, flowing the text to the next line. Dear NASA: No More Rainbow Color Scales, Please Dear NASA, The visualization community has noticed your insistence on using rainbow color scales for representing continuous data. This is a plea to you (and anyone else doing the same thing) to stop.
Boosting Productivity: How to Organize the WordPress Admin Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m a procrastinator. I struggle to work productively unless my working environment is just so. That means a clutter-free work space, a meticulously organized hard-drive, and a beautifully formatted Excel spreadsheet I use to track my every action. But there’s one part of my working environment that I don’t hold to the same standard: my WordPress admin.
