Cartograms required

[AndrewHansford]

Cartograms are something that appear to have been missing from ArcGIS for quite sometime. Cartograms are more of a Cartographic type application. I consider though that some of the changes to the ArcGIS suite have been more focused on Cartographic aspects. So i would quite like to see this ability come to ArcGIS 10.

@JosephKerski bouncy maps is exactly what I'd like to do. I ended up fiddling with symbol representations in ArcMap and resizing individual polygons based on a ratio (Colorado River Basin allotments for the seven western states and Mexico) and then moving them around manually. This is almost exactly what I need, but is time-consuming and it is not possible to do it as a "batch" operation. I can import to Pro though, and it will work for now! For contiguous cartograms, I installed the cartogram geoprocessing tool for ArcMap and it works well.

With the census data being released soon in the UK, It would be really useful for there is to be a Cartogram tool both contiguous and not contiguous use in ArcGIS Pro. Otherwise we have to keep supporting Arc desktop until this visualisation becomes available.

I'm certainly not the only one with this request:

Could anyone please update the CarolAPL "Cartogram geoprocessing tool"?

I'm worried, (Anno 2023) this tool/script is still not working in ArcGIS Pro?!

As far as I've looked into, there is no other tool for the ArcGIS Toolbox (in ArcGIS Pro) to create anamorphic cartograms yet. 😞

best regards,

The Generate Contiguous Cartogram tool was added at ArcGIS Pro 3.5. There are a few other requests in this idea about non-contiguous and Dorling cartograms. We are collecting requirements on these.
