Abstract
This paper is an introduction to novel ways of rendering spatial — temporal systems to gain insight into and a holistic view of the more complex aspects of their distributions. Colour images can depict multivariate distributions for more than 100000 spatial units from a census. The changes between two or three censuses can also be displayed at this resolution. Other techniques can be employed to explore flows of people, for example, to work or to new homes or from other countries. Three-dimensional and animated displays can be used to portray the integrated geography of space and time. Examples including the distributions of employment, voting, and movement are given and can be combined. All illustrations are of national distributions using the finest resolutions of spatially and temporally defined data that are currently available.
