Framing Guidelines for Multi-Scale Map Design Using Databases at Multiple Resolutions
Framing Guidelines for Multi-Scale Map Design Using Databases at Multiple Resolutions Cynthia A. Brewer and Barbara P. Buttenfield ABSTRacT: This paper extends European research on generating cartographic base maps at multiple scales from a single detailed database. Similar to the European work, we emphasize reference maps. In contrast to the Europeans’ focus on data generalization, we emphasize changes to the map display, including symbol design or symbol modification. We also work from databases compiled at multiple resolutions rather than constructing all representations from a single high-resolution database. We report results demonstrating how symbol change combined with selection and elimination of subsets of features can produce maps through almost the entire range of map scales spanning 1:10,000 to 1:5,000,000. We demonstrate a method of establishing specific map display scales at which symbol modification should be imposed. We present a prototype decision tool called ScaleMaster that can guide multi-scale map design across a small or large range of data resolutions, display scales, and map purposes. Introduction • At what point(s) in a multi-scale progression will data geometry be modified to suit smaller scale presentation; and apmaking at scales between those • At what point(s) in a multi-scale progression that correspond to available database must new data compilations be introduced. resolutions can involve changes to From a data processing standpoint, symbol modi- Mthe display (such as symbol changes), changes to fication is often less intensive than geometry modi- feature geometry (data generalization), or both. fication, and thus changing symbols can reduce These modifications are referred to (respec- overall workloads for the map designer. -

Recent Publications 1984 — 2017 Issues 1 — 100
RECENT PUBLICATIONS 1984 — 2017 ISSUES 1 — 100 Recent Publications is a compendium of books and articles on cartography and cartographic subjects that is included in almost every issue of The Portolan. It was compiled by the dedi- cated work of Eric Wolf from 1984-2007 and Joel Kovarsky from 2007-2017. The worldwide cartographic community thanks them greatly. Recent Publications is a resource for anyone interested in the subject matter. Given the dates of original publication, some of the materi- als cited may or may not be currently available. The information provided in this document starts with Portolan issue number 100 and pro- gresses to issue number 1 (in backwards order of publication, i.e. most recent first). To search for a name or a topic or a specific issue, type Ctrl-F for a Windows based device (Command-F for an Apple based device) which will open a small window. Then type in your search query. For a specific issue, type in the symbol # before the number, and for issues 1— 9, insert a zero before the digit. For a specific year, instead of typing in that year, type in a Portolan issue in that year (a more efficient approach). The next page provides a listing of the Portolan issues and their dates of publication.

Cynthia Brewer GI Forum Keynote on Friday, July 10, 2020, 13:30 at Audimax "Systematizing Cartographic Design" Short B
Cynthia Brewer Cartographer, Professor, Head of Department of Geography, Penn State, USA GI_Forum Keynote on Friday, July 10, 2020, 13:30 at AudiMax Young Researchers’ Corner on Thursday, July 9, 16:30 – 18:00 at HS 413 "Systematizing Cartographic Design" Cindy presents an overview of varied projects from her years of research and consulting that build to understanding the change in cartographic design approaches—from single perfected displays to systematic interlinked decisions that produce map designs that function flexibly over varied landscapes, levels of data completeness, and map scale. She has worked on United States census atlases, mortality mapping, and topographic map series design. These projects led to ColorBrewer.org and establishing basic categories of map color schemes with Judy Olson. The importance of removing features by importance levels for design through scale was a core result of the ScaleMaster work she did U.S. Geological Survey collaborators working on topographic mapping. These approaches help others plan sound cartographic tools and make meaningful maps. They are explained for novice mapmakers and GIS users in her book Designing Better Maps (2016). Short bio Cindy Brewer, Professor of Geography, has been a member of the Pennsylvania State University faculty since 1994. She has been the head of the Department of Geography at Penn State for six years. Her research and teaching focus is cartographic design. Brewer’s research interests include cartographic communication and visualization, map design, color theory, atlas production, multi-scale mapping, and topographic map series. Prior to joining Penn State, Brewer was an assistant professor of geography at San Diego State University, and she earned her doctorate in geography with emphasis in cartography from Michigan State University in 1991. -
