Cartographic animations


Cartographic animations add an artistic element related to a thematic topic, to a map, in order to reveal some type of change in dimension. The picture displayed uses the brush and shading technique known to many animators, to show the distribution of foot and mouth disease in South America from 1972-2001. It is helpful to see the information like this, because it crosses regional borders, and can also help researchers, doctors and philanthropists with tackling these medical issues.
