resizing concept

SHOW® uses the resizing concept to bring data to life.

Users can select from a wide list of subjects and watch the countries on the map resize according to the variable being

mapped.

A country’s total area no longer represents land mass but items

relevant to the subject (e.g., persons, tons, cars, or barrels).

The size of a country indicates its share of the total and its absolute value.
