Updated the grid of cancer maps to 9 tiles. Still need to annotate the tiles and add links to original pages. tiles were selected to show : different resolution (global, national, state), examples of low count areas, divergent vs continuous scales, rates vs relative risk. Hopefully tomorrow I can get time to put descriptions for each before I head off on Saturday.

Didn't select specifically for colour choices, but there is enough variation in the tiles to discuss this.

I'm not sure if uncertainty should be covered here, I think it will be better in a few other additional graphs.

Added links to the fig caption, but thinking that an extra table that lists, the cancer type, the measure, the year. might be handy. Maybe in the the appendix. The figure caption is already too big I don't want to add any more detail to it.

Also - need to add an in text description of the variation shown in these graphs. ie the measures, the resolutions, highlighting low count areas, different colour choices, and different legend approaches.

I have been trying to implement tilegrams or rectangular cartograms in R, managed to get a tilegram, the rectangular cartograms are more complicated

@jesse-jesse I have found a way to implement the grid for the choropleth and interactivity controls which also allows us to letter them in R. I have checked the links are correct but I would appreciate if you could double check as I did some rearranging
