Introduction
A choropleth map is a thematic map that shades enumeration units by
their attribute values. Choropleth maps represent quantitative,enumerated data and
rely on the visual variable colour value to create a visual order from light-to-dark
colours or from dark-to-light colours when using a dark background. They also employ colour
hue and colour saturation in multi-hued spectral schemes and all diverging schemes.
