The pilots of plane use the aeronautical diagrams based on an isogonic conical projection of Lambert, in which a cone is wide above the chapter of the ground to trace.

Arthur H. Robinson, an influential American cartographer in cartography set of themes, declared that a correctly not designed chart will be a cartographic defect. He also claimed, when considering all the aspects of the cartography, that the design of chart is perhaps most complex. 5 Robinson codified the comprehension of the mapmaker that a chart must be must be first conceived with the consideration with the assistance and its needs.

The charts have a unit strongly stylized and standardized symbol of color, the black for devices of rock, the objects made by chart and the devices linear like barriers, white for the clear ground, the brown one for forms of relief and cuttings, blue for water, yellows and greens which it is necessary that vegetation, and crimsons or the red marks the course orienteering. A chart is a matched single associative container which maintains a collection of principal pairs of value.

To have local information such as the level of precipitations, distribution of fauna, or the demographic data integrated in the chart leads to a more effective analysis and a better decision making. In the age pre-electronics such a superposition of the data led to Dr. John Snow discovering the cause of the cholera. Today, it is employed by agencies as various as guards of nature and soldiers of fauna around the world.

In spite of this, they provide a useful mechanism which supplements and prolongs significantly the power of the matter charts. Once that the distinction between the accessible subjects and non-addressable had been clarified in XTM, it appeared clearly that the resources of information could also be subjects (and consequently matters).
