Area documentation #11

Closed pnorman closed 10 years ago

pnorman commented 10 years ago

The docs state

-p area Specifies a multiplier for dot sizes. Point brightness is automatically reduced by the same factor so the total brightness remains constant, just diffused. The default is 1. -p garea Specifies a Gaussian brush instead of a flat disk, as well as a multiplier for dot sizes.

Because both are -p, it's not particularly clear how to specify a Gaussian brush.

Thanks for the report. I'll add an example.

Hopefully clearer after https://github.com/ericfischer/datamaps/commit/9648571e559a365e646a480e4d527f11a2fca2e2
