Abstract:
At this time it is necessary for us to examine afresh the aspects of computer graphics concerned with automated cartography. The particular reason for this is that during the last two years there have been appreciable changes in the attitudes of cartographers and available technology; the research interest is rapidly being replaced by one of production. The means of change and the various methodologies should now be assessed in some detail.
