Spatial Interpolation Methods: A Review

Nina Lam · 1 Jan 1983

Two forms of spatial interpolation, the interpolation of point and areal data, are distinguished. Traditionally, point interpolation is applied to isarithmic, that is, contour mapping and areal interpolation to isopleth mapping. Recently, areal interpolation techniques have been used to obtain data for a set of administrative or political districts from another set of districts whose…

Small-Scale Climate Maps: A Sensitivity Analysis of Some Common Assumptions Associated with Grid-Point Interpolation and Contouring

Cort J. Willmott, Clinton M. Rowe, William Philpot · 1 Jan 1985

Abstract From Shepard's (1968) local-search method, algorithms are developed for contouring on spherical surfaces and in Cartesian two-space. These algorithms are used to investigate errors on small-scale climate maps caused by the common practice of interpolating—from irregularly-spaced data points to regular-lattice nodes—and contouring in Cartesian two-space. Using mean annual air temperatures drawn from 100 irregularly-spaced…

Positioning Names on Maps

Eduard Imhof · 1 Jan 1975

Prof. Dr. Eduard Imhof, dean of European cartographers, has been an astute student of the esthetic-scientific characteristics of the cartographic method. In this paper published 13 years ago, he draws upon his long experience in map design and production to formulate a series of precepts about positioning or locating the lettering on maps in relation…

Experiments In Migration Mapping By Computer

Waldo Tobler · 1 Jan 1987

ABSTRACT. Migration maps represent patterns of geographical movement by arrows or bands between places, using information arriving in “from-to ” tables. In the most interesting cases the tables are of large size, suggesting that computer assistance would be useful in the preparation of the maps. A computer program prepared for this purpose shows that graphical…

A Statistical Analysis of Mathematical Measures for Linear Simplification

Robert McMaster · 1 Jan 1986

The implementation of automated cartography has resulted in the digitization of linear data and the development of simplification algorithms for generalizing these data. Some algorithms, such as the nth point and random point methods are simple in both practice and operation. Others, such as polynomial reconstruction, appear to be conceptually overly complex and computationally time…

The American Cartographer template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The American Cartographer format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The American Cartographer template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The American Cartographer use?
The American Cartographer uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." The American Cartographer 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The American Cartographer?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready The American Cartographer document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the The American Cartographer template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The American Cartographer format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
