1.4.2. Making Schematic Maps

Creating schematic maps computationally requires complex algorithms to achieve correctly. Several researchers have suggested methods, for example (Elroi 1991), (Avelar et al. 2000), and (Cabello et al. 2002). You can experiment with the method of Cabello online. In the animation below you can follow the main steps that Elroi suggests for performing schematisation.
