PC-TRACK Globe Views and Maps
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PC-TRACK makes use of predrawn globe views and maps to speed
graphics displays while at the same time providing versatility in
the viewpoints available to the user. The unregistered release
of PC-TRACK provides you with 8 globe views and one world
mercator view. The colors and geographics features are pre-
determined by Johnson Scientific International as those that
would best serve as trial displays. They are intended to allow an
adequate demonstration the capabilities of PC-TRACK prior to
registration.
The registered package, however, includes a utility program
that allows you to develop your own globe views and mercator
projection world map. With this utility, you have the capability
of defining the viewpoint (point in space from which the globe
is viewed), offset (point on the screen where the center of
the earth is), colors and geographical features (coasts,
islands, lakes, rivers, country boundaries, and state
boundaries) of the views. You can define multiple sets of globe
views, each with up to 30 different views. PC- TRACK can load
and make available up to 30 views at a time.
Please consider these items when evaluating PC-TRACK, and
realize that the 8 views of the globe that you get with the pre-
registration copy is only the beginning.
