Abstract :
Computer-aided plotting is turning the ancient art of cartography into an exact science. Today´s geologist, civil engineer, city planner, highway engineer and government cartographer have turned to small computers and digital plotters for maps that in the past were produced entirely by hand. This movement to computer-aided cartography has yielded more accurate maps faster and at lower cost.
