Abstract
This paper addresses the graphical representation of distributional summaries. The graphical design goal is to produce small summary plots that are suitable as map legends for Choropleth maps. The paper proposes two variations of parallel coordinate plots for representing cumulative distributions. The first variation shows the cumulative distribution and represents the distribution density using color. The second variation shows class colors and adds distribution detail with class boundaries, which is suitable as a map legend in Choropleth maps of acid deposition and colon cancer mortality.
