• Visual Mappings:

  • size: The color is mapped to the size of the count value, namely the number of people sick.

  • shape: Each small rectangle is mapped to a certain year, and a large rectangle maps the number of years.

  • size: The size shows the sum CountValue.

• Unique Observation: we can see that number of patients in 2012，2006，2015，2014，2011，2010，2000, which the figure occupied the largest proportion in 2010. Besides, we can hardly see other reports about chlamydia.
