Introduction

• GIS output is frequently a map

• Map layouts are used for communication

• What drives cartographic choices?

• Maps are not “reality”

• Maps are technical and artistic documents

• How to Lie With Maps (Monmonier & DeBlij)

Cartography

Map Layout documents

• A type of ArcView document

• Presentation-quality map editor

• Composed of multiple elements

• Most map elements (“frames”) are derived from other documents

• Frames can be dynamically linked to frame source

• Map layouts can be printed or saved as graphics

Front/back

• Elements are managed on a graphical plane

• All elements are in front of or behind other elements

• Elements are added to the front of the graphical plane

• Elements can be brought to the front or sent to the back

Simplifying elements

• Most elements are complex graphics

• Complex graphics can be degenerated into simple graphics

• Simplified graphics lose linkage to source

• Views

• Legends

• Scale bars

• Simplified graphics can be altered using draw tools
