FLIP Raster Processing Software System.

Abstract

This report documents work performed for the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center/Aeronautical Department. The effort consisted of configuring a stand-alone system for the production of Flight Information Publication (FLIP) graphics. The digitizing/editing system was a standard bendix system 101. A special interface was designed and fabricated to allow the Bendix 101 control (Data General, Nova 1220) to also control a DACOM MOdel K-661A raster plotter. The software written performed the task of converting lineally digitized files to raster for plotting on the DACOM. This software has the capability to create line-weights from line center files, perform area fills, generate screen fills, and produce alphanumerics in the correct stlye and size. (Author)
