Abstract :
Linked micromap (LM) plots offer a new template for displaying spatially indexed statistical summaries. One can use LM plots to visualize complex data in many areas. This paper introduces web-based interactive LM plots, a statistical data visualization system that integrates geographical data manipulation, visualization, interactive statistical graphics, and web-based Java technologies. The system effectively presents the complex and large-volume sample data of national cancer statistics of the United States
