automatic planar map generation

Automatic planar map generation involves creating maps that display connected regions, such as countries or districts, without overlaps or crossings. Using algorithms, computer programs analyze geographic data to produce clear, readable maps by efficiently drawing boundaries and placing labels. This process ensures the map accurately represents spatial relationships while maintaining visual clarity. It automates tasks that would be time-consuming if done manually, enabling quick, consistent map creation for various applications like urban planning, navigation, and geographic analysis.
