Chnage appearance of a map
The controls under the Appearance tab enable you to change the appearance of the map in a variety of ways.
Theme
The Theme control provides a number of preset color schemes. Select a color scheme from the Themes drop-down menu to apply this theme to your map.
Scale
The Scale control enables you to determine how Knoema calculates the divisions between the intervals in the map.
From the Scale drop-down menu, choose Equal Region to divide the intervals by region.
Choose Equal Quantiles to divide the intervals by quantiles.
The reason of the difference above is a country whose value is very high, while most of the countries have much lower values of an indicator. In such cases Equal Region option is preferable.
