Stem and leaf plot
This steam and leaf shows the infant mortality rates in Western Africa. The range is 51 to 151. http://mainland.cctt.org/mathsummer/JosephBond/StemAndPlots/images/table2.gif
Box plot
This box plot shows the annual snow depth at a ski resort. You can see the range is from about 30-130 with a median of about 75. http://edubuzz.org/blogs/nbhs3x1/files/2007/01/boxplot-2.JPG
Histogram
This is a hypothetical graph that shows exam scores of students. The Y axis has the exam scores and the X axis has the number of students who recieved that score. http://media.techtarget.com/digitalguide/images/Misc/iw_histogram.gif
Parallel coordinate graph
This graph was used to visualize baseball statistics. The Y axis has the baseball statistic on it like homerun, walks, ect.
Triangular plot
This triangular plot shows the fraction of the population intending to vote for the parties. http://ex-parrot.com/~chris/images/20050407/triangle.png
Windrose
Windroses show windspeeds and the directions they are blowing in. This one is of Olympia, Washington in 2000. http://www.climate.washington.edu/windrose/Seattle-WindRose.jpg
Climograph
Climographs show precipitation and temperatures for a specific place over a period of time. This one is for Memphis, TN for a year and shows us that they reached their peak temperature in July and had the most precipiation in January. http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/images/atmosphere/climate/climographs/memphis.jpg
Population profile
This is a population profile that is pridicting figures. It is showing the predicted amount of men and women with and without aids by age. http://www.ifad.org/operations/regional/pf/figure1.gif
Scatterplot
This scatter plot has husband's age on one axis and wife's age on the other. It shows a positive correlation between the two, meaning as a husband's age goes up so does the wife's.

Index value plot
This is a prime example of an index value plot. It shows us the average streamflow index from since June 1999. This shows us if it has been exceptionally dry or wet. http://water.usgs.gov/waterwatch/regplots/real/real_us_2.gif
Lorenz Curve
This lorenz curve shows the income distribution in households. The percentage of households is plotted on one axis and the percentage of income on the other. http://www.sarpn.org.za/documents/d0000990/images/lorenz_curve.gif
Bilateral graph
Bilateral graphs show positive and negitive changes in data. This map shows the growth (or decline) of humanitarian sevices in different countries. http://www.globalhumanitarianassistance.org/New%20Images/Growth%20in%20bilateral%20humanitarian%20assistance%202005-2006%20copy.jpg

Unstandardized Choropleth
Unstandardized choropleth maps like this one show unordered and unaveraged data that have no rankings. This one shows minority goups with the highest populations in the states. https://courseware.e-education.psu.edu/courses/geog482/graphics/citationexample.jpg
Standardized choropleth maps
This map shows the population density of the US according to the 2000 census. It is measured by population per square mile by state. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/USA_states_population_density_map.PNG/800px-USA_states_population_density_map.PNG
Univariate Choropleth
Univariate Choropleth maps only show one piece of data unlike the bivariate ones. This particular map shows the percent of indivduals who live in poverty in the US. http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2007/oct/images/07_0091_02.gif
Bivariate choropleth maps
This is a good example of a bivariate choropleth map. It shows two different pieces of data, population density in 2002 and percentage population change between the years of 1989-2002 of Russia.
Unclasses Choropleth
This unclassed Choropleth map shows acres of vegetables harvested in the United States in 2002.
Range graded proportional circle map
These maps use circles to show an amount of something. For example this map shows population of cities in the Great Lakes area and the larger the circles, the greater the population. http://mapmaker.rutgers.edu/355/dotProporCircle.jpg
Continuously variable proportional circle map
This is a map of West Germany that shows the major industries different cities. The map uses circles to show data and the size of the circle is in relation to the amount of data.

DOQQ
A digital orthophoto quartar quadrangles is a computer generated image of an ariel photograph. These are used to fix the displacement caused by camera tilits. http://www.pasda.psu.edu/tutorials/arcgis/images/doqq.jpg
DEM
DEM is a digital elevation model or a representation of a ground surface topography. http://edc.usgs.gov/images/dem.jpg
DLG
DLG stands for digital line graph and these are digital vector representations of cartographic information. This one here shows the Lake Tahoe Basin.
DRG
DRG stands for digital raster graphics. These are scanned pictures of the United States Geological Survey like the one shown here.
Isopach
Isopachs are lines on a map that connect areas that have geological structures with equal thickness.
Isohyets
Isohyets are lines on a map that connect points that have equal rainfall. The map here shows rainfall measured in millilitters.
Isotachs
Isotachs are lines on a map that connect points with equal wind speeds. The map here shows wind speeds over the eastern United States.

Isobars
This map shows a low pressure cell. An isobar is a line that connects points of equal pressure.
LIDAR
LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging. It measures scattered light and creates a 3D model like the one shown here.
Doppler Radar
A doppler radar is simply a radar that uses the doppler effect. This is done by bouncing echoes off of targets to measure their radial velocity. This is a doppler radar of a hurricane over Florida.
Infrared aerial photo
Infrared aerial photo uses different light spectrums to show many things like changes in the environment like in this picture here. http://www.aerialarchives.com/imagedb/IR0010154f.jpg
Cartographic animations
A cartographic animation map moves in some way. The movement's purpose is to show something happening over a period of time. For example in this map is showing the coast flooding as the water levels rise.

Statistical maps
Statistical maps show quantity and location of statistic data at the same time. This map shows corn farms and each dot represents 10,000 acres. http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=64892&rendTypeId=4
Cartograms
Cartograms are maps in which area is distorted. Like in this map of the US, the states are not displayed in the correct size instead they are shown according to the population of the counties. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/47/Cartlinearlarge.png
Flow maps
Flow maps use lines to show movement. The thicker the line the more that is being moved and vise versa. This map is showing international telephone traffic. http://www.mundi.net/maps/maps_014/august2000_small.gif
Isoline maps
An isoline map liek the one shown is a 2D representation of something 3D. In the example here the map is showing a peak and a crater. http://www.sfei.org/ecoatlas/GIS/MapInterpretation/images/fig219.gif
Proportional circle maps
A proportional circle map uses circles to show data. For example, in this map shows internet use in Europe and the larger the circle the more people that use the internet and smaller the circle the less the people that use the internet.http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/~jeff/gis/proportional_symbols_files/map2.jpg
