DESIGN OF THE MAPS AND LXPRESS THE DISTRIBUTION OF CANCER IN BEIJING

《北京恶性肿瘤地图集》的设计思想是:通过地图科学工作者和医学工作者的紧密结合,扩大地图信息传输的功能,探索恶性肿瘤地图信息传输的特点和适用的表示方法;在地图感受论方面进行大胆的色彩尝试;在图面配置和图型设计上,以利于医学工作者阅读、使用为原则,为了实现这些设计思想,我们做了以下几项工作.

The section of introductory maps includes the maps of environmental elements which are closely connected with the distribution of cancer.This section does not make up a complete system itself. The methods of graduated symbols,isolines and point symbols are used coordinately to reflect the law of distribution,tendency and figure of the death rates of cancer. The graduations on the collation maps are classified by using percentiles graduations.The intervals of the isolines are based on the differences between the graduations on the collation maps.Evenly distributed intervals are not adopted here.Various sizes of point are adopted as point symbols. The traditional principle of distributing the main maps in the centre has not been adopted in our work,so as to make use of the space of the whole page as full as possible.There are various kinds of statistical maps and lists in order to give the readers a full information. According to the theory of sensitivity toward maps and in order to express the characteristics of this map,the principles followed in colour design are comparable,symbolic,attractive and using as few colours as possible.
