Continuously variable proportional circle map

A Continuously Variable Proportional Circle map is one in which circles of varying size and color are used to represent specific sets of data. Generally the larger sets of data will be represented by larger circles and those e sets of data with smaller value will be indicated by smaller circles. Since the continuously variable proportional circle maps also have data that is represented by color within the circle the cartographer is able to use the circles to show more than just one specific set of data. For instance if you wanted t show minorities who work in a particular skill set this map would be most useful.
