Izdelava reliefne karte dela Pomurja : Production of the relief map of a part of Pomurje
Abstract
Relief maps are three-dimensional representations of the Earth’s surface. In contrast to traditional 2D maps, where the relief is represented indirectly, the relief maps are intended for direct representation of the relief. Such way of relief presentation is simpler and easier to understand for ordinary users. In the article, the preparation of the editorial plan is described and thepossible methods of elaboration of relief maps are presented. The method described has been used for elaboration of an insert of a relief map of the Pomurje region at horizontal scale 1 : 30,000 and at vertical scale 1 : 15,000. The work process is divided into fourphases, following in time and building one upon another: elaboration of a convex aluminium mould, thermo-vacuum process of reproduction, printing, and composition of basic elements.
