The mechanism used is called "generalizing maps" and quite popular. A
friend of mine made her Master of Sciene as a Cartograph about
generalizing maps and is now working for her local forestry office
generalizing maps all the day: making important streets bigger, hiding
clearings people should not be aware of etc..
But Falk overdo this a bit ;)
Ciao, Imi.
