This Proportionate Symbol map depicts national wine consumption in Europe. The data is scaled using the Absolute method, and is not a ratio reflecting population. I added the .xls data to the attribute table in ArcMAP after calculating the Symbol Size, and let Arc calculate the diameter of each symbol. The Legend symbols' diameter were adjusted in AI to increase the visual impact.
Nice work Sky, I also added the data to the attributes and let ArcView draw the circles but they did not scale correctly in AI and I ended up resizing one at a time. Good to know it does work. Did you use the perceptual scaling function in ArcMap when you symbolized the data?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jim. I didn't use the scaling feature, just played with the ledgend size in AI. Yeah, feeling brave that day.
