- create the two Dorling maps
- write down the ID of the Dorling map you want on the right-hand side.
- Open the map you want on the left-hand side
- Add &map2=## to the url, where ## is the ID number, and press enter.
- The output is an svg file.
Example:
Climate Change Skeptics project. Comparing Climate change science disciplines to climate change skeptics' disciplines.
Sample project
A bubble graph is a powerful visualization tool, and could be an alternative to a tag cloud.
In the sample project E-Culture Mapped and Clouded, the Dorling tool was used to map the Google search results for the query e-cultuur, as well as for the query eCultuur. The results indicate that e-culture is now a recognized 'e-word', according to Google results.
