Forgot to comment on this: Yes, it would be highly desirable to represent polygons with centroids. In fact, many people (including the GIS team here) would argue from a cartographic point of view, a data element (absolute value) is best represented with a point symbol, whereas choropleth maps should be used mainly for relative values, i.e. indicators. k _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs Post to : dhis2-devs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
