Maps in TALD are generated
automatically based on the value columns.
As
explained in Feature datasets, you can have
multiple value columns in order to generate different maps. You can use
both nominal and numeric values.
Keep in mind that a large number of values is difficult to perceive, do not use more than 5 values on one map.
If you want, you can experiment with map visualizations by yourself
using the lingtypology
package for R.
You can find a
detailed tutorial for the package here.
A sample code for experimenting with TALD visualizations as well as the necessary metadata such as village coordinates can be found here.
