Geographic Data Display Implementation

Abstract

To support automated display of positional intelligence data, detailed geographic background displays are needed over a wide range of scales. The Geographic Data Display System (GDDS) displays geographic data on a raster scan display and allows the user to zoom and translate around a map of Central Europe. As the user zooms in on an area, the area is displayed in greater detail, and geographic features such as rivers, roads, etc., are added to the display. This report outlines the capabilities and design of the GDDS, describes the implementation, and documents the programs.
