My mistake entirely.<br />As for the Greek bit...again, I wasn't intending to infer the word choropleth itself was Greek, merely the component elements can be traced to Greek origins.<br />Fair comments!Kenneth Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738467752479352030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123225361504762353.post-76303713680635617572011-11-03T12:38:50.530-07:002011-11-03T12:38:50.530-07:00"The word choropleth is derived from Greek.

Wright invented the word in 1938 (it's not a Greek word) he interpreted "choros" as space and "pleth" as value (as in plethora). <br /><br />Beyond that there's plenty of reason why chora doesn't just mean space, but for that you'll have to read my learned chapter in Dodge n' Kitchin's book Rethinking Maps.<br /><br />--Jeremy CramptonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123225361504762353.post-60167183141784276752011-10-28T16:57:29.022-07:002011-10-28T16:57:29.022-07:00"Need to create a surface but can’t decide wh..."Need to create a surface but can’t decide whether to use Inverse Distance Weighted of spline interpolators?
