The comparative analysis of selected interactive data presentation techniques on the example of the land use structure in the commune of Tomice
Journal Title: Polish Cartographical Review - Year 2016, Vol 48, Issue 3
Abstract
The authors present the results of a comparative analysis of selected techniques and programming tools for building interactive data presentation in the form of diagrams and maps generated in the browser. The results of an inventory of land use structure, which are a part of a geographic information system database of the commune of Tomice in district of Wadowice, were employed as input data. The research has shown that the tested tools have a similar design capacity; which makes it difficult to determine which of them is the best. Different factors contribute to choosing a particular tool. They include technical specification, project budget, license conditions, technical support and visualization possibilities.
