Abstract:In the large scale topographic map editing has a lot of scale slope symbol elements, including the proportion of slope, embankment, reinforced shore, embankment and cutting. The symbol is a kind of composite symbol, two parts of slope line and slope. Slope line is composed of slope top bus and length symbol, long tooth length and slope width and perpendicular to slope bus. The symbol is complex, editing work is timeconsuming and laborious. By using AutoLISP language, the slope class symbol element processing program can be developed, and the automatic extension of symbol long teeth can be realized. It can greatly improve the efficiency of such symbol editing and improve the effect of drawing expression.
