Interactive Exploration Tutorial

This tutorial is designed to show new users how to explore space-time data interactively in SpaceStat. We use data from the US National Atlas of Cancer Mortality, available from the NCI website.

In this tutorial, however, you will not need to download or otherwise prepare the data yourself. The tutorial includes a pre-made project file for exploration. So, although SpaceStat projects normally start with importing data, this tutorial begins with that step completed.   

Steps

1. Interactive exploration: Compare mapped and graphed data by brushing linked windows.

2. Seamless animations: Animate several windows in concert.

3. Integrate with other software: Export a customized animated map for use in a presentation.

These tasks are a subset of what is possible with the SpaceStat software, but enough to give you a sense of SpaceStat's user interface and the innovative ways in which this tool can help you explore your data.
