Description	Cartes & Donnees PLUS (Maps and Data) is a thematic mapping tool available in four versions. It imports data from spreadsheets and databases and displays it on a map in a range of colours, with circular or square symbols proportional to the data. Any numerical data can be associated with a series of points, lines or polygons on the map. Multiple layers can be superimposed. The attributes of each layer can be changed through check boxes or menus. Other features include: square mapping (which gives a synthetic vision of a phenomenon), polarization (eg attraction zone of city), direct use of qualitative data , Bertin matrix (visual topology of spaces according to data associated to them), opposite semicircles and aggregation (ie a function that automatically generates a map at a country level if you have data for provinces). This program adds to the Medium version the following: processing of flow matrices. Statistical analysis can be carried out, with addition and subtraction of several matrices. The data may be represented on the map with different line thicknesses, colours or vectors at the centroid of each entity. This version also adds: map intersection and union, length and surface computation, distance from one map to another, 3D and arrow representations.
