The place of the “quantitative signature symbols” in the classification of the cartographic presentation methods
Journal Title: Polish Cartographical Review - Year 2017, Vol 49, Issue 2
Abstract
The authors of the article pay their attention to the lack of a generally accepted classification of the cartographic presentation methods. The classification, which was described in the Ratajski’s handbook (1989) in the mostly extensive way, is commonly used in the Polish literature. According to the authors, it would be appropriate to modify one of the types of symbols (quantitative ones) as an independent method of data presentation at the quantitative level, in addition to the method of diagram, choropleth, dot method and isoline one.
