Dynamic Cartography Using Voronoi/delaunay Methods

We describe two reversible line-drawing methods for cartographic applications based on the kinetic (moving-point) Voronoi diagram. Our objectives were to optimize the user’s ability to draw and edit the map, rather than to produce the most efficient batch-oriented algorithm for large data sets, and all our algorithms are based on local operations (except for basic point location). Because the d...

Cartography and GIS: Facilitating collaboration I

Maps and geographic information systems (GISystems) both encode spatial relationships in structured formal representations. These representations enable shared understanding of geographic phenomena and their interdependencies. This formal encoding makes maps and GIS well suited inherently to facilitating collaboration among human participants in thinking and decision making about the geographic...

Considering Innovations in Cartography and Changes in Geographic Representation Methods

Maps and map related objects are produced to represent geography. They range from paper maps to virtual installations, delivered using technologies that range from printing (traditional, on-demand and distributed) to the Internet (wired and wireless, desktop-facilitated and mobile). The underpinnings of the design and delivery of these representations are, and have been, linked to developments ...
