The map is in quick JPEG format, for large display as highly readable, in about 20 articles that display the map. JPEG clarity is enhanced by painted areas behind many labels, causing the wording to be clearer than even a massive SVG or PNG-format file could provide, due to the sharp display contrast of JPEG files. JPEG Clarity: Even though JPEG images have artifacts, they can display clearer wording in small maps due to auto-contrast enhancement. The same painted/shaded areas, that illuminate wording, would make the map excessively gargantuan in slow cumbersome PNG or SVG format, as is the case with terrain maps, which also should NEVER be converted to massive PNG format. |
