This lecture introduces the concept of visual variables in thematic maps and the semiology of graphics, focusing on the properties and relationships they imply. It covers the system of graphics, interactions between visual marks, visual variables and their properties, zonal implications, internal variation, value and class thresholds, effectiveness of an image, computational colour encoding, colour perception, and examples of colour usage in thematic maps.
