-Cartograms are geographic visualization techniques which re-assign area distribution in map based on some parameter of interest instead of area projection. This display technique has been integrated into ''GenGIS'' based on the diffusion-based cartogram. To create a cartogram a map and location layer are required. Multiple location and vector layers can be transformed with the raster layer. To create a cartogram the ''Location Radius'' and ''Variable Multiplier'' must be set to some level. ''Location Radius'' defines the level of geographic preservation at a regional scale, while ''Variable Multiplier'' applies more distortion locally.
+Cartograms are geographic visualization techniques which transfer the distribution of land area in a map from distance to another parameter of interest (such as population). This display technique has been integrated into ''GenGIS'' based on the diffusion-based cartogram. To create a cartogram a map and location layer are required. Additional location and vector layers can be transformed with the raster layer. To create a cartogram the ''Location Radius'' and ''Variable Multiplier'' must be set to some level.

	The geographic axis being evaluated can be modified dynamically. To modify the geographic axis, simple click on either of the end-points of the Layout Line and drag it to a new location. The vertices defining a non-linear geographic axes can also be modified dynamically. Making the Layout Line shorter will reduce the size of the 2D tree. The height of the tree can also be modified in the [[The_GenGIS_2.0_Manual#Tree_Layer Properties\|Tree Layer Properties]] dialog. You can also drag the root node of a tree to re-position the tree while keeping the Layout Line at the same orientation.		The geographic axis being evaluated can be modified dynamically.
