Dive into the world of advanced cartography techniques in this lecture covering visual variables, map types, and symbolization methods. Learn about point, dot, graduated symbol, and multivariate symbol maps through reference material and online resources. Understand various map types like line, flow, and choropleth mapping, and explore the possibilities of web cartography, 2.5D and 3D mapping techniques. Discover the tools, software, and technologies used for modern map production and visualization.

Flow Map: Europe Internet Trafficwww.cybergeography.org/atlas/census.html
Map Types: Area Data • Choropleth • Dasymetric • Area qualitative • Stepped surface • Hypsometric • Reference
2D Web Cartography • HTML embeds PNG, JPEG and GIF • Animation possible with GIF • Drawing extensions with SVG (XML) • Otherwise, need JAVA or FLASH • GIS data can be web enabled with on-line products such as Arc/IMS and GeoMedia Web Map, MapInfo Envinsa • Map open source tools
Map Types: Volume Data • [Isopleth, Stepped Surface, Hypsometric] • Gridded fishnet • Realistic perspective • Hill-shaded • Image map
Map Types: Time • Multiple views • Animation • Moving map • Fly thru • Fly by
3D Web Cartography • Unload interaction functions to web client • Build and make visible 3D models • VRML established as 3D web equivalent of HTML • GeoVRML is geographically enabled VRML • GML, X3D now available
(Geo)VRML • Public domain Web tools (CosmoCreate and Player) • Works for both immersive and passive displays • Symbolization at feature level, any dimension object • Integrated environment to develop, test and distribute cartographic methods • Combine traditional cartographic portrayal techniques, animation, and 3-dimensional display • Importance of nodes and georeferencing Worlds (GeoVRML 1.0) • Incorporates visual field depth via proximity sensor and zoom
