Thematic Cartography and Databases Visualization

Each cartographic work must show topographic or thematic information about the area and its parts, so that the means of expression used in it support its function and purpose. However, with the rise of digital technologies the cartographic work is, most often work with thematic content, increasingly just a routine CAD, respectively GIS output products without the professional cartographic supervision. Then, the resulting product is "only" a visualized database. If there is a need of a good quality printed output of such database, the possibilities of a print presentation come quickly into conflict, namely a commonly large database offer and cartographic model offer of the used software. This issue is discussed on the example of print-making and preparation of the Landscape Atlas of the Czech Republic.
