Lesson five: Switch between the table and the map

Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to browse the features. To repeat, press SPACE. Please try each feature in the main iSonic window. You can press Alt + TAB to switch between the help window and the main iSonic window.

We can switch between the table and map at any time. To do that, press the TAB key, or select the menu item from the menu group "Data view". The table and the map are tightly coupled, so the results of any actions in one view are always reflected in the other. For example, if we select California in the table view, then switch to the map view, California is automatically selected in the map view. If we zoom into the northeast part of the map, then switch to the table view, the table will only show the states in the northeast. If we go to the cell of variable Population 21 to 64 years and state Maryland, then switch to the map view, the map will display population 21 to 64 years, and Maryland becomes the current state. The tightly coupled table view and map view allow us to consistently explore the data from different angles of the data relations.
