Continuously Variable proportional circle map

http://personal.frostburg.edu/jaelder0/maps.htm
A continuously variable proportional circle map is a map that uses circles to show various quantities of some phenomenon.  What makes it continuously variable is that there is no set range of sizes for the circle.  In these maps each numerical value has a corresponding circle size.  The map above shows the aggravated assault arrests by state through the use of circle size to show quantity.  Its easy to see that California has the highest number of arrests.
