Using ArcMap for processing cartographic work

Abstract

Nowadays computers take part in most human activities. They help us process and store data and also enable us to provide file management. As a lot of specialised programmes have been developed recently for various subjects, it is possible to find a special mapping software for cartography work and making maps. An example of GIS (geographic information system) mapping software is ArcMap. This thesis sums up possible applications of ArcMap in cartography. These in particular include orthophotomap connection and digitization, georeferencing followed by bitmap digitization, display methods of hypsometry (contour line, raster, TIN), generalization tools, topographical symbols creation and editing, making thematic maps and variety of ArcMap outcomes
