In order to improve the cartography efficiency and the intelligent level of forestry map,we put forward the symbolization scheme of forestry map based on MapGIS K9 platform.Firstly,the symbol library of forestry map was constructed according to The Graphic Representation of Forestry Map which was issued by the National Forestry Bureau in October,2010.Then,the symbol configuration rule database was established to realize the expression of symbol configuration rule in the digital environment.Finally,the symbolization module was realized with the support of MapGIS Objects component development technology,and the thematic data of forestry were visualized according to the symbol configuration rule.The practice proved that the scheme could basically satisfy the cartography requirements of common forestry maps which included the forest management inventory map.
