STMap

STMap, or Spatial-Temporal Map, is a visual tool that shows how data changes over both space and time. It displays patterns or movements across a region as they evolve, helping users understand trends, flow, or shifts in phenomena like traffic, weather, or social activity. By combining spatial information (location) with temporal data (time), STMaps provide a comprehensive view that reveals relationships and dynamics that might be missed with static maps or simple charts. This makes them valuable for analyzing complex systems where timing and location are both important factors.
