Cartographic design requires controllable methods and tools to produce maps that are
adapted to users' needs and preferences. The formalized rules and constraints for
cartographic representation come mainly from the conceptual framework of graphic
semiology. Most current Geographical Information Systems (GIS) rely on the Styled Layer
Descriptor and Semiology Encoding (SLD/SE) specifications which provide an XML schema
describing the styling rules to be applied on geographic data to draw a map. Although this …

1. Catalog The purpose of this catalog is to illustrate the capabilities of our approach,
according to the services we have implemented in the software Geoxygene [Geo16]. The
generation of vector patterns is currently not fully integrated, and requires further processing
outside of Geoxygene, as described in the dedicated section. 1.1. Curves stylization We
propose three services to stylize curves, described in Listings 1, 2 and 3. These three
services are respectively tailored to painting simulation (see Figure 1), procedural variations …
