+The following protocol demonstrates how to generated a new cartography map by morphing ((spatial transformation of) the GIS geometry based on some of the variables contained in the data. These variables must have quantitative values for each of the regions (simple closed polygons) representing the GIS geometric map.
 * Start by loading the [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Cartograhy.html SOCR Cartography applet]
 * Load your data (geometry and meta-data) or just use one of the examples (e.g., click the '''Demo CA Ozone''' button on the left panel)

 * Select the '''Cartogram Attribute''' (quantitative variable that will be used to morph the map) - e.g., choose ''PERIMETER''
 * Click the '''Next''' button twice
-* Finally, clock the '''Compute''' button
+* Finally, click the '''Compute''' button
 * It may take 1-5 minutes to compute the morph on the map grid. When it finishes, it will generate a new Layer on your Graph tab where the maps are displayed. You can toggle on/off layers to display desired features as shown on the images below.
