Continuously Variable Proportional Circle Map

- A proportional circle map shows the relative sizes of objects or events. The larger the circle on the map, the greater the magnitude of the measured object by the scale.
-The map of Canada found at the Canada National Statistical Agency shows a continuous variable proportional circle map. There are two types of proportional circle maps. The best way to tell this one apart from the other one is from the legend. The circles come in all sizes representing the distribution of the variable.
