MapView User's Guide

Abstract

MapView is a general-purpose, object-oriented graphics program that was developed as part of the Theater Level Campaign/Non-Linear Combat (TLC/NLC) project at RAND. Every attempt has been made to generalize the functionality of the program for use by other projects. MapView is written in the C programming language and runs under the X11 Release 5 windowing environment with Sun Microsystems' OPEN LOOK Toolkit. The program enables scenario generation through a flexible, user-friendly interface that defines graphic objects, places them on an underlying image, and modifies or queries them as desired. In addition, MapView can process a file of commands that define and modify graphic objects and create animated simulation output.
