In the discussed process of line simplification parameters depend on the map scale and on the smallest length of an elementary triangle (this length is a measure of the ability of the drawing recognition). In the process of simplification performed with the use of the discussed algorithm, the same shape of a line is ensured (maintaining the ability of the drawing recognition), since generalised data differ with the bigger or smaller range of scales from the source data. Besides, limits of intervals of generalisation thresholds have been specified, which are required for the process of automated selection of cartographic presentation methods exhibiting the results of line simplification.}, type={Article}, title={Testing broken lines - transformed with use of objective global algorithm - as simplified geometric data}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121407/PDF/7_GK_VOL%2053_NO%202_2004_Chrobak_Badanie_krzywych.pdf}, keywords={Map generalization, line simplification}, }
