摘要在空间数据处理的背景下，地图可视化过程被认为是空间数据从数据库到图形的翻译或转换。制图可视化过程正在发生变化：从供应驱动变为需求驱动。更多的人将参与到地图制作中来。更多的地图将被创建，其中许多只是为了一个目的。这些地图正在从呈现空间信息的最终产品转变为促进我们视觉思维的中间产品。这些变化需要不同类型的制图员，他们是空间数据处理过程中不可或缺的一部分。除了传统的制图设计技能外，制图师还必须使用交互式实时地图向其他地球科学家提供他们的知识，以解决他们的问题。制图员面临的一个挑战是创建或改进允许探索的制图工具。
AbstractIn the context of spatial data handling, the cartographic visualization process is considered to be the translation or conversion of spatial data from a database into graphics. The cartographic visualization process is changing: changing from being supply-driven to demand-driven. More people will be involved in making maps. More maps will be created, many of them only for a single purpose. These maps are changing from being final products presenting spatial information to interim products that facilitate our visual thinking. These changes require a different type of cartographer, someone who is an integral part in the process of spatial data handling. As well as traditional cartographic design skills, cartographers must make their knowledge available to fellow geoscientists using interactive real-time maps to solve their problems. A challenge for cartographers is to create or improve mapping tools that allow exploration.
