What is a Cartogram?

Cartograms are a method of displaying geospatial data as totals, wherein data are displayed with both color and area as a function of their values. Cartograms are analogous to pie charts in which the slices of the pie are geographic regions rather than wedges. The Cartograms tool is a script created for ArcGIS that provides a set of spatial analysis tools not included in the standard ArcGIS software. You can create maps that will provoke reactions and dialog by displaying data as Cartograms.  This tutorial will allow users to make Cartograms using their own data.
