| Abstract [eng] |
With the development of computer technologies, the mapping also progresses; therefore there is a need to analyze the notes used in cartography. The traditions of records and their fonts, their specifics and compilation, which determines the amount of information in the cartographical work, are being newly overviewed. Too big or too little amount of notes in the map, i.e. not optimal text load, only makes it more difficult to understand the information. Studies have shown that the topic of text load with notes of the cartographical works virtually was not analyzed neither in Lithuania nor Europe and no research was carried out, even though it is important topic, especially in publishing. After analyzing the factors which determine the text load of the map, the methodology was created and practical analysis of this methodology was performed. The results obtained in this research and their analysis, allowed to create an automated system (computer program) which helps to quickly assess the level of text load of maps, both newly created and existing ones. |
