Univariate Choropleth map
Bivariate choropleth maps
Bilateral Graph
This shows the effectiveness of a bionic ear implant over time. The variants here show side by side the number of correct answers (to a given aural quiz regarding sound localization) given by individuals with the implant over time. http://www.advancedbionics.com/CMS/Your-Journey-to-Hearing/Bilateral-Research.aspx

Index value plot
This index value plot shows the worth of Disney Stock prices over time (in this case from Sep 1966 through Oct 67). As we can see in 1966 they were still fairly low, but since then have experienced unprecedented growth, followed by one small period of decline, and then further growth. http://www.loricatrade.com/articles/risk-management-investigating-stops/

Triangular Plot
This is potentially one of the more controversial of the maps I have included here. This triangular plot shows a kind of political certainty that no matter how you vote, events will turn out the same. Scary. http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/wwwitter/20050407-it_doesnt_matter_how_you_vote_either_way_your_planet_is_doomed.html

Isopleths
Investigating the occurrence of Thyroid cancers in the Bryansk Oblast region since the Chernobyl accident, these isopleths depict the surface deposits of contaminates while the circles illustrate the number of documented cases of Thyroid cancers. The isopleths numerically represent the surface deposition densities.

Planimetric Map
This is a Planimetric map used to illustrate a parcel of land for sale. It is a very simple map primarily used to show the relationship of the parcel for sale to the nearest major road and its approximate size. This demonstrates the most common use for this type of map.
