3- Results: data selection and semiotics suggestions
In this section, some graphic representations designed to meet user
'
s
demands are shown. Our initial map is the French IGN one (cf.
figure 3
)
whose scale is 1:25 000. Our suggestions modify this initial map or are
added to it. Firstly the solutions concerning all groups are presented (par-
ticularly they do not depend on the scale of the map). In the second part of
the section, the specific suggestions according to the different activities are
shown
.
