Moving Maps in GL Studio

GlsMap Toolkit

The GL Studio Map Toolkit is a plug-in for the GL Studio editor that allows the development of real-time moving map display applications. The toolkit provides the capability to combine multiple geo-referenced map imagery formats and user defined symbology across multiple layers to produce a single real time 2D map view. Numerous map imagery formats are supported and new formats are easily added using a plug-in reader architecture. The map imagery is dynamically paged as required and the toolkit supports various real time map manipulation functions including:

Panning
Zooming
Rotating
Offsetting
Layer Visibility

Symbology

The toolkit provides a quick and easy interface to overlay user defined symbology. The symbology can either be created from GL Studio objects or user defined OpenGL code. This versatile capability allows for the rapid development of custom overlays and symbology to meet any mapping style demands with a minimum of effort.

DiSTI Arbitrary Image Format

DiSTI created a standard method for inserting geo-referenced map imagery layers from any standard image file format supported by GL Studio. The Arbitrary Image Format utilizes an XML schema to define sets of geo-referenced images to be used as map imagery layers. This feature allows developers to expand how they utilize the toolkit to portray data from disparate resources in a single display.
