Linked Micromap Plots for Point Locations

Music City Center 

Only a few stand-alone attempts have been made in the past to create linked micromap plots
for point locations such as climate stations and cities, rather than for areal locations (i.e., polygons).
This requires that the point location is extended to a small (circular or quadratic)
area that can be color-coded in a linked micromap plot. In this talk, we provide an
overview of necessary steps to produce linked micromap plots for point locations
to create areas of suitable sizes and to avoid overplotting of nearby point locations.
A series of examples will highlight the benefits of linked micromap plots for point locations.
