Improving The Tiled Grid Map


In the final UK full general election the biggest winner inward information visualization techniques was the tiled grid map. The NPR Visuals Team has written a adept explanation of why (and where) the tiled grid map is a adept option for visualizing geographical data.


Recently at that topographic point has been approximately interesting developments inward tiled grid maps - specifically inward using private grids to visualize historical data. For example, afterward the Scottish Election inward May, The Guardian used Sankey diagrams inward each tiled grid to exhibit the historical per centum of votes past times each political political party over previous elections inward each electoral district.


Esri has likewise been experimenting amongst using dissimilar types of charts in addition to graphs inside private tiled map grids to visualize U.S. election history data. US Election History is an interactive tiled grid map which visualizes the historical voting designing of each Earth inward a pose out of dissimilar ways.

My favorite sentiment inward this tiled grid map is the Waffle Grid, which presents the historical election information inward each Earth amongst a serial of pocket-sized colored squares. Each foursquare is colored carmine or blueish to exhibit how the Earth voted inward previous the States elections.

This waffle grid sentiment provides a great in addition to uncomplicated visualization of the historical political style of each state. With the nearly recent election results shown at the acme in addition to the oldest elections at the bottom of each foursquare it is likewise really slow to read the nearly recent historical voting style inward each state.
