Continuously Variable Proportional Circle Map

Two maps, side by side. On the left is an example of the use of graduated symbols, and on the right is an example of the use of mimetic symbols.

This is a continuously variable proportional circle map.  The map shows motor vehicle deaths in California.
The map on the left depicts the numbers with circles, the one on the right depicts the the numbers using different sized cars.
