Creator:: Yeaple, Anne
Abstract:: Progress in the development of color CRT's and color graphic hard-copy devices offers a new tool for the thematic mapper. From a cartographic perspective, the technology for displaying and producing color maps has advanced without concern for cartographic principles and conventions in the employment of color. Since it is necessary...

Abstract:: Cartographic generalization results In locational Inaccuracies of the generalized feature. The cartographer expresses the amount of generalization and the locational inaccuracy of the feature through map design and choice of map scale. This information is often lost when the map is digitized. In the environment of geographic Information systems, the...
