Abstract	The analysis, interpretation and assimilation of geographically referenced data often requires that it be presented in the form of maps and other graphic displays. CARTE is a thematic mapping program which produces annotated choropleth, line or point-symbol displays of socio-economic, energy, or other data on a variety of interactive terminals or hardcopy plotters. CARTE is desigend primarily for interactive use and provides both simplicity for the novice and a wide range of options for the advanced user. Script or command files provide a convenient facility for setting defaults and other parameters from a monitor program as well as providing for non-interactive operation. CARTE has the ability to write a script which will reproduce the current map display. This frees the interactive user to concetrate on the map design without concern for keeping track of the commands issued, and also allows him to produce a series of similar maps with a common layout. The goal of CARTE is to provide thematic maps to a broad user community. This software is a part of SEEDIS (Socio-Economic-Environmental-Demographic Information System), a broadly-based set of data bases and software which includes 100 million data items and a wide variety of analytic and display tools. Wemore » know that displays such as CARTE are indispensable to our users and we feel that as the state of the art is advanced it will become possible and economical to supply the general public with these kinds of graphic displays. This will allow citizens to participate in decision-making with the same access to data that only a few lucky administrators now have.« less
