Geraldine Sarmiento of Mapzen has been exploring how cartographers communicate information most the globe to map readers through drawings on a 2 dimensional surface. She examines how cartographers purpose unproblematic lines to bring movement, texture together with form.
In Explore the World of Form alongside Morphology Geraldine illustrates her thesis alongside examples taken from interactive maps. These examples include specific forms used inwards maps, such every bit airports (eight of the busiest airports inwards the globe tin move seen inwards the ikon above), bridges, buildings together with roads.
When these forms are examined inwards isolation from the residue of the map nosotros may laid out to improve empathise the visual linguistic communication used to communicate important to the map user. Geraldine has hence developed a tool which allows you lot to isolate specific forms on an interactive map. Morphology is an interactive map which allows you lot to written report forms inwards cartography yesteryear isolating specific forms on the map. You tin purpose the drop-down carte du jour to filter the map to present exclusively isolated forms. For example, if you lot select 'airports' from the carte du jour so all the other map features volition move removed together with exclusively airports volition move shown on the map.
