While graticule are lines showing parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude for the earth. Grids are used to display major measured locations using projected coordinates on a map while graticule ean be sed to show locations using geographic coordinates. ‘-What is the importance of having grids on the maps. * Grids help people to locate places on a map. On small scale maps, a grid is often made up of latitudes and longitudes. The intersection ofa latitude and a longitude is a coordinate and it helps to identily the exact location of a place. Clarity or order. Grids bring order to a layout making it easier for visifors to find and navigate through information. Bficiency. Grids allows a designer to quickly add elements to a layout because many layout decisions are addressed while building the grid structure, Economy. Grids make it easier for other designers to work and collaborate on the design as they provide the plan to place elements, Consistency. Grids lead to consist tency in the layout of pages across a single site (or several sites creating a structural harmony in the design Explain how one can construct grids on maps Draw diagonal lines through the sheet corners, at the intersection ofthe diagonals Plot exactly equal distances along each line, These points should be approximately ‘one inch from the edge of the paper. Join the four plotted points so that they form a rectangle. You must ensure that all the lines pass through the centre ofthe plotted Points whether in pencil or ink. Check opposite sides of the rectangle and make sure that the opposite sides are equal. If they are not equal, there must be a plotting error Which must be found and corrected before proceeding further. } forkout the size of the area required to be covered by the grid. The size of the grid ‘will be [Easting of the Eastern most grid ling minus Easting of the Wentern most ‘grid ine] and (Northing of Northern mont grid line minus Northing of Southern ‘most ged line). Knowing the size ofthe required rectangle, you must decide on its position within the outside rectangle taking into consideration any information that ‘may have to go in the margin. Now set off the required length on the sides of the rectangle. This gives the approximate position of the neat line ie. the line round the outside edge of the map: Work out the distance from the approximate position of the neat line to the first grid line by subtracting the southwest corer from the vnlue of the next grid line. ‘Scale off this distance from the provisional sheet corner. This will be the first the first grid. Carryout the same procedure for the eastern and western rectangle lines, Plot the position of the grid lines on the basic rectangle by scaling from one comer. ‘Then check by measuring the size of each grid square. A second cheek is carried out by laying a straight edge diagonally across the grids at the grid intersections. If the there is no error in the grid, the straight edge will pass exactly through the intersections. 4, Discuss ways on how one can plot coordinaten using grid Point plotting is an clementary mathematical stil required in analytic ‘geometry. Invented by René Descartes and originally uséd to locate positions on Ahlitary maps, this skill is now assumed of everyone who wants to locate grid 7A.on any map. Using point ploting, one associates an ordered pair of real numbers (x,y) with 4 point in the plane in a one-to-one manner. As a result, one obtains the 2. dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. ‘Tobe able to plot points, one needs to first decide on a point in plane which will be called the origin, and a couple of perpendicular lines, called the x and y ‘¢9, a8 well asa preferred direction on each of the lines, Usually one chooses the x axis pointing right and the y axis pointing up, and these will be named the positive directions. Also, one picks a segment in the plane which is declared to be of unit length. Using rotated versions of this segment, one can measure distances along the x and y axes. Having the origin and the axes in place, trough the second point will intersect at precisely one point, which will be called the point with coordinates 0% 9) ©. Discuss distortions of grids 7 a: Distortion of grids ia caused either by shrinkage or stretching of the material aft plotting. It can be avoided to a certain extent by seasoning the material before use, but this almost overcome by the introduction of plastic materials which can stand all weathers. ‘The art of plotting on distorted grids lies is the positioning of the scale so that the distance plotted is in correct proportion to the undistorted length, Ifthe grid line is too short the scale should be twisted slightly so that it fits to the grid ne. I the grid line is too long the scale must be positioned on the line to minimize the error by proportioning the exces the plotted point on the grid line. ‘at both ends in relation to the position. of QUESTION FIVE * Different between map productions from map revision A map is a graphical representation of geographical information on a two dimensional surface, Revision is the process of changing a document, book etc. in order to improve it, correct mistakes, or make it contain the most recent information, Map production is the process of arran; in @ way that eveh without many shows. ging map clements on a piece of paper words, you can understand what the map In other words, maps are usually produced for presentations and feports where the audience or reader is a politician, citizen or a learner with no Professional background in GIS. Because of this, a map has to be effective in communicating spatial information, common elements of a map which include legend, title, scale bar, map body, north arrow, acknowledgement and map border. Whereas, Map revision is the updating, improving, and correcting map content at the Same scale.

Explain the sources of data for map revision * Acrial survey; this is a source for collecting geomatics or other imagery by using airplanes, helicopters, balloons, drones and other aerial methods. Typical types of data collected include aerial photography, remote sensing, LIDAR and ‘geographical data. * Satellite imagery; the advantage of using satellite imagery for map revision is that they have a global coverage, fewer images are required to cover an area & hence reduce the number of control points. + Ground survey; the survey enables the observation of information directly the ground measurements instead of an image.

Others provide only a limited range of colors which it is possible to mix or combine. This facility, enabling the creation of a particularly required color, is often of significant advantage in cartography. * Format Commonly, map production results in the generation of large format imagery. A number of potentially useful systems may prove of limited value because the available working area is too small for mapping requirements. + Substrata (base materials) If proofs of color are required, it is virtually essential to produce these on the same paper stock that it is intended to use during final printing.

Next, the original is peeled from the diazo paper as the sandwich of master and iazo exists the machine, and the diazo sheet is fed into the developing ‘chamber. Here fumes of ammonium hydroxide create an extremely alkaline environment. Under these conditions, the azodyes (couplers) react with the remaining diazonium salt and undergo a chemical reaction the results in the ‘unexposed lines changing color from invisible (or yellow) to a visible dark color. ‘The range of colors for these lines is usually blue or black, but sepia (a brownish hue) is also quite popular. When making multiple copies of original no more than four or five copies can typically be made at a'time, due to the build- up of ammonia fumes, even with ventilation fans in the duplication room. A slight delay of perhaps five mimutes is often required for the fumes to subside ‘enough to permit making additional copies if no ventilation exists. Many blueprint shops ran ventilation ducts from the machines to outside. Smaller and mid-size blueprint machines were often outfitted with neutralizers which ‘absorbed some of the ammonia for a period of time. If the lines are too light, itis also possible to run the blue-line through the developing chamber once more, which often increases the contrast of the lines relative to the base media. Repeated lack of contrast and light prints is also a tip-off that the operator needs to adjust the speed or amount of ammonia. ‘Sometimes both the master and the diazo print are inadvertently fed through the developing chamber.
