This example is "all about the annotate" :)
I use very long/thin annotated polygons in the background to do the
gradient color shading.
I create a copy of the map, and gremove the internal boundaries,
and convert it to an annotated polycont, and offset the x/y
slightly, and print it behind the map -- to create the black
'shadow' effect.
I use a left-justified title in the top/left, and a right-justified
footnote in the bottom/right (using 'nogtitle' so that it is outside
of the graph area).
And, for a "special touch", I add html title= charttips/flyover-text
using the gmap html= option, so that you can see the county name
when you mouse over the counties.
