Continuously Variable Proportional Circle Map

http://mapmaker.rutgers.edu/355/dotProporCircle.jpg

A continuously variable proportional circle map is a type of proportional circle map which utilizes circles, in stead of dots, to map points, and the size of the circle generally relates to the variable being mapped, as opposed to the area being mapped. The map displayed above showcases what the 1970's cencus population data might have looked like if it was mapped in the 'real world.' That is, it shows us what are the more populous areas, and just how dense certain areas were.
