New map graphics

The map graphics has been appropriate for classical photomechanical procedures, but today, when we deal with digital procedures, it should be changed. It has been pointed out thereby that within the frame of the spirit of time, the map graphics has been affected especially by various periods in art accompanied by the technology development. Referring to the hardware, the influence of resolution is pointed out, and in connection with software the importance of tools necessary for achieving adequate map graphics in digital cartography. Furthermore, the map graphics is especially affected by geoinformation systems, and with respect to the spatial image, regardless of whether the map is in digital or analogue format, the cartographic visualisation of space is imposed as the most important. In connection with the current changes in map graphics, it is emphasised that the application of computers in cartography and the development of analytical cartography have lead to the real and virtual maps, and after the cartographic presentations on the screen, some more non-analogue cartographics products appeared, the most frequent being data sets, electronic atlases, animated and multimedia presentations.
