Isopleth

An isopleth is a line of equal or constant value on a map or grid of varying quantities.

Different types of isopleth are given different names according to the nature of the quantity involved:

"iso" can be replaced with "isallo" to give it the meaning of a line connecting points where some variable has changed at the same rate during some time period.

Synonyms: isogram, isarithm
