8. Geoinformation Technologies and Systems 8 COMPASS Geographical objects Comparison Pie charts show the partitions of selected countries and partition of all selected countries in total value for the World for given indicator

9. Geoinformation Technologies and Systems 9 COMPASS Comparison with given value The countries are compared with Germany by value of indicator “GNP per capita”

10. Geoinformation Technologies and Systems 10 COMPASS Grouping The indicator range is divided into several intervals. The quantity of objects in each interval is shown on the top of corresponding column.The countries of selected interval are highlighted on the map. In classify mode countries color match color of column.

11. Geoinformation Technologies and Systems 11 COMPASS Similarity Similarity of the countries with Germany by indicator “Total population”

12. Geoinformation Technologies and Systems 12 COMPASS Similarity Similarity of the countries with Germany by complex of two indicators: “Total population” and “Population density”

13. Geoinformation Technologies and Systems 13 COMPASS Similarity Similarity of the countries with Germany by complex of three indicators: “Total population”, “Population density” and “Population growth rate”
