CV-04 - Scale and Generalization
- Explain why the reduction of map scale sometimes results in the need for mapped features to be reduced in size and moved
- Identify mapping tasks that require each of the following: smoothing, aggregation, simplification, and displacement
- Illustrate specific examples of feature elimination and simplification suited to mapping at smaller scales
- Apply appropriate selection criteria to change the display of map data to a smaller scale
- Discuss the limitations of current technological approaches to generalization for mapping purposes
- Explain how generalization of one data theme can and must be reflected across multiple themes (e.g., if the river moves, the boundary, roads and towns also need to move)
- Explain how the decisions for selection and generalization are made with regard to symbolization in mapping
