Computer-Assisted Cartography-Principles and Prospect
Cartography, geographic information, and public policy
Cartography is as much a policy science as it is a graphic art and science. The inevitable demise of the paper map as the principal medium of geographic communication and the increasing concentration of mapping activities and geographic data base development in large public‐sector agencies argue in favour of replacing the current emphasis on map production with one involving policy. A focus on mapping policy will reverse the unfortunate split bet…
Street Maps And Private-Sector Map Making / A Case Study Of Two Firms
The indexed urban street map is a cartographic medium used by many people for way-finding and route-planning. Communication models addressing only map design and cognition ignore the flow of geographic information from government agency to map publisher to advertiser or retailer to user. Competition and territorial expansion in private-sector map making also affect the cost, accuracy, and graphic quality of street maps. "Who maps what cities?" ma…
Trends in Atlas Development
The Hopeless Pursuit of Purification in Cartographic Communication
Simulation models are developed to determine the likely range of effects of edge growth caused by overinking during printing of dot-screen, parallel-line and crossed-line area symbols. Plausible amounts of edge growth, based upon experiences in printing Universal Product Code identifiers for food and household products, provide the basis for expanding the perimeters of the black image elements comprising an area symbol and thereby estimating the …
Estimates of Trend Direction / Vagueness and Bias in Map Reading
The Significance and Symbolization of Trend Direction
Even though most statistical maps emphasize surface elevation, trend direction and gradient are important facets of statistical surfaces. Trend direction might play an important role in visual judgments of cross-correlation, particularly insofar as the cosine of the angle between the trend directions of two uniform, planar distributions equals the bivariate correlation. For distributions without simple, uniform slopes, the detection and symboliza…
Viewing Azimuth and Map Clarity∗
In a realistic oblique view of a three-dimensional surface, viewing azimuth is more important than vertical scale or elevation angle as a determinant of surface blocking. Because coordinate axes cannot easily be rotated before interpolation, some mapping software packages, in particular the SYMAP-SYMVU combination, discourage the selection of a viewing azimuth that might provide greater clarity than a traditional diagonal view. A simple direct se…

Nonlinear Reprojection T O Reduce the Congestion of Symbols on Thematic Maps
Limitations on a map's size might cause the congestion of symbols for parts of a region with high densities of mappable features. Common solutions to this problem are inset maps, cartograms, and non-uniform generalization. Clutter can also be reduced by reprojecting the base map so that scale is increased for more detailed areas and decreased elsewhere. Nonlinear reprojection can be specified by a continuous or hinged mathematical transformation …
Modifying Objective Functions and Constraints for Maximizing Visual Correspondence of Choroplethic Maps
Class-interval selection is viewed as the problem of maximizing an objective function subject to one or more constraints on a feasible solution. A previously-developed method for optimizing the visual correlation between two choroplethic maps, one of which has its classintervals already specified, is extended to include weighting enumeration districts by land area, considering the internal homogeneity of mapping categories, placing a lower limit …
Glass Intervals to Enhance the Visual Correlation of Choroplethic Maps
The selection of class intervals for choroplethic maps is approached with the objective of maximizing the visual correspondence between the variable to be categorized and a referent variable with which it is associated. A measure of visual correlation is developed to serve as the objective function for an algorithm which locates breaks between classes, one at a time, and also tests each stage in the solution process for stability. A simple, ten-a…
Maximizing the Information Content of Maps of Spatial-Temporal Disease Distributions
Mortality and morbidity data are often available by areal unit for consecutive time periods. Although disease data can be aggregated through time to dampen temporal fluctuations and probability theory can be used to indicate statistically significant extreme values, a more complete analysis considers not only the average value and variation of each mapping unit but a possible temporal trend as well. A method is presented for including all three a…
Contiguity-Biased Class-Interval Selection
IMPLICITY is a fundamental goal of cartography. An overly complicated map can impose severe perceptual difficulties on a user interested primarily in general spatial trends. With many types of maps, complexity can be minimized if the cartographer employs relevant principles of graphic design. However, in the case of choropleth maps the selection of class intervals is an additional determinant of a map's effectiveness. The traditional objectives o…
Digitized Map Measurement and Correlation Applied to an Example in Crop Ecology
M A APS can be analyzed by computers once the irksome task of digitizing is accomplished. Although modern, high-speed digital computers are capable of processing vast amounts of geographical information, spatial associations are measured, regional trends are detected, and basic dimensions are isolated only when the computer receives the data in numerical form. In some cases quantitative data must be painstakingly extracted from existing maps or f…
