Donna J. Peuquet 1981 Current graphic devices suitable for high-speed computer input and output of cartographic data are tending more and more to be raster-oriented, such as the rotating drum scanner and the color raster display. However, the majority of commonly used manipulative techniques in computer-assisted cartography and automated spatial data handling continue to require that the data be in vector format. The current article is the second part of a two-part paper that examines the state of the art in these conversion techniques. - from Author application/pdf 10.3138/K632-661R-K76J-1R80 en University of Toronto Press An examination of techniques for reformatting digital cartographic data.
