地图符号设计是地图设计的重要组成部分,其中,用于表示不依比例尺小面积地物或点状地物的点状符号设计被广泛关注和探讨。综观目前常见的网络地图,特别是旅游网络地图,其点状地图符号设计方案大多尺寸相近,以象形符号为主,但边框设计有3种不同方案:对符号添加统一边框,对不同符号添加不同边框,以及不加边框。通过眼动实验,探究点状地图符号边框设计对用户认知地图的影响,比较上述3种方案所获取的不同认知效果,进一步研究网络旅游地图的点状地图符号边框设计方案。
Map symbol design is an important part of map design and the design for point-shaped map symbols has aroused widespread concern and discussion. Throughout current common web maps, especially the tourist web- map, different designs for point-shaped map symbols have much in common, such as similar size and type, and most of them are for representation symbols. However, frame designs have three different schemes, which are adding a unified frame to all symbols, adding different frames to different symbols and symbols without frames. With an eye movement experiment, the influence of the point-shaped map symbol frame design on user' s map cog- nition is studied and the difference among the three schemes is presented, the further research on the frame design for point-shaped map symbol is discussed.
