今天,用于静态、动画和动态使用的现代透视图(所谓的3D地图)的技术代非常先进。然而,在地图学研究中,很少有人研究这种观点的设计及其对读者的影响。在很大程度上,地图设计原则的确立是缺失的。在一个研究项目的框架内,通过评估特定图形变量的设置和选项来得出这些原则的命题。基于3D地图的设计方面和图形变量的清单,通过3D地图实例和专家访谈的方法,对两个主要设计方面(地图对象的抽象度和大小)和五个不同的图形变量(观看倾角、缩放系数、光方向、雾霾密度和天空结构)的选定线索进行了评估。从这项评估中得出了一套制图设计原则,并建议进行更详细的用户测试。提出的设计原则可供参考。
Today, the technical generation of modern perspective views (so-called 3D maps) for static, animated, and dynamic use is highly advanced. Nevertheless, aspects of the design of such views and of their impact on readers have rarely been investigated in cartographic research. The establishment of cartographic design principles is missing, to a large extent. Within the framework of a research project, propositions for such principles were derived by evaluating settings and options for specific graphic variables. Based on an inventory of design aspects and graphic variables for 3D maps, selected cues for two major design aspects (degree of abstraction and size of map objects) and five different graphic variables (viewing inclination, zoom factor, light direction, haze density, and sky structure) were evaluated by means of 3D map examples and expert interviews. A set of cartographic design principles was derived from this evaluation and proposed for more detailed user tests. The proposed design principles coul...
