Abstract
In commercial mapping and atlas cartography cost-effective production of maps and atlases is a constant issue in the business concept of commercial cartographic enterprises. A combined GIS and visualisation system can be considered the production environment of choice for quality, cost-effective map production. To strengthen the visualisation component of such system, one concept of particular relevance is that of the atlas toolbox. Using the modular principle this framework allows for the production of maps and atlases by combination of technical or cartographic components and methods. This paper discusses the concept and application of one particular component, the map component, for automated, rule-based quality map construction
