Abstract

Computer can be programmed in order to draw maps at different graphic levels with the help of various output systems including printers, plotters and display systems. These automatic graphic machines share one attitude: they carry out whole or part of drawing with reliable speed and accuracy several times greater than human’s hand. On the whole, basic information of these maps, implemented by manual or automatic methods, must be fed into computers.
