BlendRenderer - Lawrence, KS by age and population size

Description

This sample focuses on Lawrence, KS, where it displays age concentrations with a BlendRenderer. In addition, it also displays the total population in each block using size. The BlendRenderer uses green to indicate the under 19 age group, red is 20-29, whereas blue represents 30 years and above. The more opaque the color, the higher the concentration for that age group. Also, more densely populated blocks will display with a larger symbol. More information on working with the BlendRenderer can be found here. Whereas information on how the graduated symbols were created can be found here.
