INTRODUCTION
AGSO's client-focused work program demands excellence and one way we can demonstrate this is through our maps and publications. Fundamental to quality and consistency of our illustrative products is the use of cartographic conventions (symbology) and specifications.
The Cartographic Services Unit (CSU) uses a set of symbols and drafting specifications for the production of AGSO's maps, illustrations and graphics products. These standards have been refined over the years to accommodate changing production methods and are applied rigorously by the CSU as part of its total quality procedures.
The increasing use of desktop mapping systems in the project areas has provided the opportunity for project staff to produce illustrations for AGSO publications themselves. Often this material is prepared without any reference to the well established standards, resulting in poor quality illustrations, which detract from AGSO's professionalism. During an evaluation of corporate cartographic services in 1994, the evaluation panel noted a variation in the quality of illustrative work across AGSO, and real potential for this situation to deteriorate.
This Record is a direct response to Recommendation 12 of the evaluation, viz "The Panel recommends that staff consult with CSU regarding cartographic and visualisation standards for the type and quality of output required when undertaking their own cartographic / visualisation work".

The Record covers selection of line styles and weights, text styles and placement, other miscellaneous specifications, the International system of metric units and an appendix showing CSU's Publication Symbols cell library (Pubsymb.cel) and Lithological Patterns cell library (Pubpat.cell).
The cell libraries referred to on pages 15 and 16 are available from the Cartographic Services Unit in MicroStation .dgn format.

TEXT PLACEMENT
General
When the geographical reference grid (graticle) is parallel to the frame around the illustration (neatline), text should be positioned horizontally.
When the illustration has a full curved graticule, text should follow the parallels of latitude. Once the angle of curvature approaches 100 it may be preferable to position text horizontally. If graticu1e ticks only are used, the text should be positioned parallel to the neatline. References, scales, titles, etc should always be parallel to the neatline.
When a name is placed parallel to the vertical neatline it should always read up. If it diverges from the vertical it should always be readable from the bottom or right-hand side of the illustration.

Point features, such as towns or mountain peaks, should be named first and other text fitted in remaining space.
Multiple names and descriptive notes should not be too widely separated so that they appear to be unrelated. They should be in blocks, straight lines or long simple curves.
In complex areas, start naming features from the centre of the area and then work outward.
Point Features
For small features or symbols, text should be placed on the upper right-hand side.
If this position is not practicable, other choices of text position, in order of preference are; lower right, upper left, lower left, centred above and centred below.

If it is not possible to place text parallel to the top and bottom neatlines or the parallels of the graticule, the feature may be named diagonally, but the text should be curved and not straight. If a land feature occupies a position near the coastline, the name should be generally pOSitioned on the landward side.
However, if there are numerous features to be named, those right on the coastline may have their names placed on the seaward side.
Names should not obscure topographical detail (coastlines, rivers, etc).

For linear features, text is placed on one side of the feature, preferably above it, reading from left to right.
If a feature is very short and must be labelled, as a last resort the label may be split above and below. Linear labelling should follow an imaginary smooth line, even when the feature has numerous bends. Avoid 'balancing' text on a point. Double-line streams should be named between the shorelines, unless there is insufficient space.
Names of long linear features can be repeated for clarity.
The destination of a road or railway, etc. which continues beyond the illustration edge should be positioned parallel to the feature inside the illustration and an arrow used to indicate the direction. The word 'TO' should not be used.

Area Features
Wherever possible, area features should be labelled parallel to the top and bottom neatlines.
Large area features may be labelled using letter-spaced text.
If space permits, text should be placed within the feature boundary; preferably centred and on one line.
When state names are placed parallel to boundaries, they should be centred opposite each other.
When positioning two or more lines of text on a feature, leftjustify or right-justify the text next to the feature. If text is placed above or below the feature, centre-justify it.

Letter-symbols should be placed so that it is not necessary to search for the identification of each unit.
Fewer letter-symbols, if any, will be needed if the units are stippled.
The letter-symbol should preferably be centred within the area.
When the letter-symbol will not fit within the area, it should be placed outside and a lead-line drawn into the area.
Lead-lines should point from an imaginary dot in the centre of the first or last letter of the symbol.
Lead-lines should not, as a rule, be placed vertically, but when vertical leaders are necessary, they should point from the centre of the symbol.
Lead-lines should cross into an area at close to a right-angle to the boundary, and one-third of the lead-line should be within the area. Avoid: multiple lead-lines
Jkc 'back-Ieadering' G
lead-lines which run parallel to hachures

SPACING OF TEXT
Letter Spacing
The distance between spaced letters should not exceed four times the height of the
text being used. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I =c R U S T not =c R U S T
Word Spacing
Generally, the spacing between words in a sentence should not exceed the average letter width.
e.g. Archaean basement and metasediments not Archaean basement and metasediments
7
Words in a name are spaced equally unless there is a relationship between certain components. If necessary, less space may be left between related words than between words that are not related.
e.g MOUNT GORDON FAULT
For area names or broad features the space between components of the name should not be greater than the length of the longest word.
e.g. PRINCE CHARLES MOUNTAINS
The relationship between components should be maintained when it is necessary to place the name in two lines.
e.g. Crown Hill not Crown Lake HiffLake
Line Spacing
Text that is in two or more lines in sentences (references, etc) should have a line spacing of not more than one-half of the height of the text being used.
e.g. Granite, metasediments, possibly some high-grade metamorphics
When area names are placed in two lines, the vertical separation between lines of text should not be greater than:
- one-third of the length of the longer line of text I y I
_ GULF OF x x<y
-CARPENTARIA I x I x I x I
or - the length of the shorter line of text, whichever is less e.g. I x I x I x I
_MOUNT GORDON
y
ARCH I y I
x>y

Numbers
A space is left between groups of three digits to the left or right of the decimal point. e.g. 350 500 0.705 47
Figures with four digits either side of the decimal point do not need a space. e.g. 3382 0.7845
Spaces should not be used for specimen numbers or contour values. e.g. 80039A -25200
Where a figure is less than one, a zero should be inserted before the decimal point. e.g. 0.01 0.637 95
If graticule numbers are whole numbers, there is no need to show zero minutes e.g. 26° not 26°00'
However, if divisions of the whole degrees are shown, all minutes must be indicated. e.g. 26°30', then 2~00'

GRA TICLES AND GEOGRAPHICAL CO-ORDINATES
Graticule ticks should be shown on all four sides of the illustration.
Full graticule or internal crosses should be avoided, but an irregular-shaped area may need full lines for clarity.
The graticule should be oriented N-S where possible.
Values of latitude and longitude (geographicals) should be labelled on two sides only, preferably top and right-hand side.
When all geographicals are whole degrees, omit ~O'.
Geographicals should be placed parallel to top and bottom neatlines, except when the graticule is not oriented N-S; then the geographicals should be aligned with the graticule.
Geographical values should be labelled as a minimum in FT=62, TX=1.5.
When a state or international boundary coincides with the edge of the illustration, the graticule should be omitted in preference to the boundary symbol.

Divide and label graticules equally N-S and E-W except in special circumstances. e.g. When showing 1:250 000 or 1:100 000 sheet area break-ups.
illustrations with a converging projection should be squared off.
H a graticule is not shown, north should be indicated. Do not include a graticule and a north point on the same illustration.

INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF METRIC UNITS
Writing unit names and symbols
Unit names All unit names are written either in full or represented by their correct symbols:
e.g. metres per second or mls or m S-1
Mixtures of full or abbreviated names and symbols, including the symbol for 'per' (I) should not be used:
e.g. kg per cubic metre, metres/second and misec
Unit names follow the normal rules of grammar. The plural is used with numbers greater than 1 and numbers less than -1:
e.g. 20 grams, 150 kilometres, -20 newtons
but note abbreviations are not pluralised; i.e. gm not gms, km not kms
The singular is used for numbers between -1 and 1 inclusive: e.g. 1 gram, 0.15 kilometre, -0.32 metre per second
All unit names except Celcius are written in lower case: e.g. gram, newton, kilogram
Unit Symbols and Prefixes Most unit symbols are lower case except the symbols derived from people's names:
e.g. metre (m), gram (g), newton (N), hertz (Hz), pascal (pa), watt (W) however, litre is L
13
All prefix symbols are lower case except tera (T), giga (G), mega (M), peta (P), exa (E): e.g. kilogram (kg), megatonne (Mt).
Spacing of symbols
Prefix and Symbols The prefix symbol is part of the unit symbol and is attached to it without a space:
e.g. millimetre (mm), megawatt (MW), kilolitre (kL)
Compound Symbols Multiplication of one unit by another is represented by a dot or a space:
e.g.N.m,Nm
Division of one unit by another is represented by an oblique line or by multiplication by a negative power of the unit:
e.g. krn/h, km. h-1, km h-l
![Page 18: Drafting and Type Specifications for Publication ...Letter-symbols should be placed so that it is not necessary to search for the identification of each unit.

14
Numbers and Symbols Unit names and symbols should be separated from their associated numerical value by a space except for %, oC, $, c(ents), 0, " ":
e.g. 5 g, 27 MHz, 60 km/h, 9.8 m.s·1, 100%, $56.00
Numerical Notation
The Decimal Symbol A dot on the line is used:
e.g. 27.50
The Thousands Marker A space should be left between groups of 3 digits to the right and left of the decimal marker:
e.g. 12 236 412.5, 0.452 67
In 4 digit numbers the space may be omitted: e.g. 1234 or 1 234
A comma should not be used as a thousands marker
Numbers less than one A zero should be used before the decimal marker with numbers less than one:
e.g. 0.12345,0.5
