地理学家采用的制图方法，称为扩散图（基于扩散的密度均衡图），用于为收入，健康，投票模式和资源可用性等数据提供视觉上有趣和信息丰富的图表。该算法涉及改变国家或省份等地理区域的大小，以便它们与所讨论的属性成比例，同时保持地形完整性。这里采用这些方法来描绘元素的数值数据属性。周期表被视为一个“地图”的正方形“国家”和扭曲使用扩散cartogram算法显示周期属性。
Mapping methods employed by geographers, known as diffusion cartograms (diffusion-based density-equalizing maps), are used to present visually interesting and informative plots for data such as income, health, voting patterns, and resource availability. The algorithm involves changing the sizes of geographic regions such as countries or provinces so that they appear in proportion to the property in question while maintaining topographic integrity. These methods are employed here to portray numerical data properties of the elements. The periodic table is treated as a “map” of square “countries” and distorted using a diffusion cartogram algorithm to display periodic properties.
