Geologic Map CartoScripts

To illustrate the power of CartoScripts, MicroImages has created a set of free scripts designed to render the specialized line and point symbols for geologic and geotectonic maps.

The scripts set the size of point symbols and line elements in millimeters relative to the scale of the printed map. You can edit the scripts to set the desired map scale, element sizes, and color. Since these scripts use many of the CartoScript functions in varied combinations, you can also study them for ideas on how to create your own custom map symbols.
