Abstract

The areal symbols are primarily achieved by manual drawing, then by means of certain devices and machines, through the application of print, conventional and unconventional photography and finally electronically. The offered data bases of areal symbols belonging to the programme packages for accomplishing the Desk Top Mapping, DTM: ARC/INFO, AutoCAD and CorelDRAW have been analysed. One's own new patterns have been generated according to the patterns applied for differentiation of subjects on the old, wood-cut maps, then copperplates and cartographic portrayals multiplied by means of lithography, as well as according to the patterns the creation of which has been enabled through photography and digital procedures of compilating, creating and reproducing the maps.
