mapping ideas - or not
(Sunday 18th January 2004)

hat's a nice example of mapping a concept... And it also - at least for me - shows why I usually don't use these kind of visualisations anymore. The information density / fontsize ratio is just wrong. Laying out text spatialy takes up so much room in itself, the fonts invariably tend to bekome real small. Now I'm sure normal sighted people will have difficulty following my argument here... But still I'd really love to see someone into this kind of thing to pack such a map into, say a 640x480 PDA screen. That would mean the fonts can't be too small. Is it possible to use this kind of mapping with bigger fonts?
