Many but not all the charts is drawn on a scale, making it possible to the reader to imply the scales size, and of the distances among, the purposes represented. More large scales indicate more detail, of this fact requiring of a larger chart to indicate the same area. For example, of the charts designed for the hiker are often measured with the 1:24,000 of report/ratio, meaning that 1 of any whole of the measure on the chart actually corresponds to 24.000 of this same unit; while charts designed for the motorist are often measured with 1:250,000. Charts which employ a certain quality other than the physical area to determine the relative size call the cartograms.
