English abstract:
Cartographic Information Systems are still in a development process. They largely deal with functionalities, but often do not concentrate on visualisation aspects. The solutions vary from pure GIS without cartographic characteristics to systems that are simply based on scanned maps, ignoring the technical restrictions of the screen as an output medium.
The interactive Atlas Information System of Austria presents a happy medium: A hybrid system relying on cartographically improved map graphics suitable for both screen visualisation and high-quality printing. By establishing connections between the two media, a method for the production of adequate paper maps as an integral part of the system should be smoothed.
This paper discusses research results at the Vienna University of Technology concerning the topics mentioned above. It will focus on technical restrictions of the screen as an output medium, the adaptation of map graphics and interdependencies between resolution and scale. As an example, the usability of related map graphics for 1:250k screen visualisation and 1:1mio printing will be discussed.
