Evaluating shapes and shading of symbols used on thematic maps
There is a very substantial literature on human perception of shape, shading and colour and how
it relates to the use of symbols on thematic maps. The bibliography to follow is not comprehensive by
any means but it will point the interested reader in the right direction to gain access to this interesting and
important aspect of thematic mapping.
