Not sure of what to include in the legend. Since you must assume the audience is familiar with general world geography, do you really need north orientation and scale? I used 10 iterations. I am not sure how to "balance error and distortion". Is there some standard to go by? I was trying to make it look like your example.
How do you include a square with the gdp value as in figure 19.2 on page 357 of text?
No need to include scale on your inset map..since you cannot really use it for scale, just on your main map. And north arrow is really not necessary as well. You don't want to do so many iterations that the country shapes are not recognizable and your error increases (since the calculation does have error).
ReplyDeleteThe square can be added in Arc by changing the legend properties from circle to square or in Adobe by drawing the square itself.
