406 Creating Maps Chapter 16<br />

Example of Creating A Map in Graph Builder<br />

Figure 16.2 Example of Burglary by State<br />

Note the following:<br />

• The latitude <strong>and</strong> longitude appear on the Y <strong>and</strong> X axes.<br />

• The legend shows the colors that correspond to the burglary rates. Since Burglary is a continuous<br />

variable, the colors are on a gradient.<br />

• The map is projected so that relative areas are not distorted (the 49th parallel across the top of the US is<br />

not a straight line).<br />

Graph Builder<br />

Open a data table that contains geographic data. Launch Graph Builder by selecting Graph > Graph<br />

Builder. The primary element in the Graph Builder window is the graph area. The graph area contains drop<br />

zones (Map Shape, Color <strong>and</strong> Size), <strong>and</strong> you can drag <strong>and</strong> drop variables into the zones. From here you can<br />

map shapes for data tables that include place names.
