The technique or practice of using a graphometer to measure and record angles and distances in surveying and mapping.
Graphometer + -y (practice/science of). Emerged as a formal surveying discipline in the 16th-17th centuries.
Graphometry was revolutionary because it unified two things that seemed separate—writing down measurements (grapho-) and measuring accurately (-metry)—creating the first systematic way to create precise maps!
