Abstract
Resolving Spatial Conflicts Between Linear Features in ArcInfo WorkstationTrack: Cartography and Map Production
Author(s): David C. Hatfield
This paper presents a tool developed to resolve spatial conflicts between linear features in a map. When the scale of a map is reduced, the symbology of linear features often overlap one another. For instance, on a half-inch-to-a-mile map roads often follow streams so closely that their symbols cross. This is why the tool was developed. Where line symbols overlap, the tool adjusts the spatial location of the lines to resolve the conflict. This helps to automate map production.
