Tutorial Cartography for Map Figures in Academic Journals & Books
متطلبات الإكمال
This workshop will discuss approaches and guidelines for creating map figures for academic books and journals. I will use QGIS to illustrate one workflow in a graphical GIS. This general workflow can be applied to other graphical GIS programs or even non-map figures.
This workshop was developed by Dr. Michele Tobias from UC Davis (GPL 3.0 license) and updated to QGIS 3.22 with some minor changes by Dr. Hans van der Kwast, published on GISopencourseware. The original workshop can be found here.
3. Hands On
3.3. Publisher Specifications

Most importantly:
- Size: 183 x <240 mm
- Format: .jpg
- Other: No divided images unless the sections are related
