| Abstract | Today's high performance analytical plotters are typical stand-alone, single-user systems. Though they serve as intelligent 3-D data acquisition stations to geographical information systems, the link between them is usually limited to data transfer. Because their hardware and software platforms are different, no sophisiticated interactions with GIS workstations on the system level take place. In the future we expect a much closer integration of analytical plotters into GIS systems. This entails sharing similar design concepts, data structures, user interfaces, etc. The integration is greatly facilitated by the separation of the real-time loop processes from application software as well as by the rapidly decreasing cost of high-performance UNIX workstations. In this paper we describe the design concepts and the development of basic analytical plotter software, such as orientation, closely integrated on Intergraph's GIS workstations. A generic interface supports different analytical plotters without the need for hardware or software modifications. |
