Bilateral Graph
Bivariate Choropleth Map
A bivariate choropleth map is a choropleth map that displays more than one variable at a time, with different amounts of shading or with other different map layers. These maps can convey large amounts of information, such as this one about land use, per capita spending, and life expectancy in Africa.

Univariate Choropleth Map
Nominal Area Choropleth
Nominal area choropleth are maps with data that cannot be ordered any particular way or be shown any particular way except with colors. A great example would be this map, a map of the states and their electoral votes and who won the state. The data can be easily displayed in this format.

Index value plot
The index value plot can help to track data over a series of time. This plot shows the average streamflow in North Carolina, and keeps track of whether it was wetter and drier in relation to the historical data.

Range Graded Proportional Circle Graph
This is also a graph where the circles are directly proportional to the variable being portrayed from that distinct area. The difference in the range graded is that there is only one variable being represented unlike the continuously variable circle maps. It is helps in the ease of reading. This is a map of Mexican population in the West.

Continuously variable proportional circle map
These maps are proportional circle maps, with another variable inside the circle in the form of a pie chart. The circles not only represent a number directly proportional to the size and another percentage variable also. This continuously variable prop circle map is from Czech Republic.

Standardized Choropleth Maps
A standardized map uses information that is uniform and can easily be displayed across a wide area. The data is areally averaged and usually shown with a color code as in this map. This map shows the amount of the Canadian population that is under 14.

Windrose
The wind rose is a tool that is used predominantly by meteorologists. It is used to determine the wind speed and direction of the surrounding areas as it could affect flight and weather conditions. The further out from the center that the colors extend, the more intense the data is.
