3D, panoramic, and stereoscopic views

 

3D picture

The 3D picture is an option available in the Picture properties form. It uses a 2D-map picture as a source for pixel colour, each pixel of the 2D picture corresponding to a polygon in the 3D picture. The polygons are filling the space between successive pixels, after a geometrical transformation. The angle of view can be set with the scroll bars in the 3D picture properties form. 3D picture can be used to show the networks as well:

Networks elevation can be modified without having to redraw the picture by using the Show nets command.

Stereo

The stereoscopic picture is also an option available in the Picture properties form. It uses a 2D-map picture as a source for pixel colour. It covers the same area as the 2D picture, except that it uses colour separation (Red and blue glasses required) to gives left and right eyes different point of view, which gives the impression that the picture is popping out of the screen. A special cursor can be moved with the keyboard arrows (horizontal coordinates) and the + or - keys (elevation).

Observation view

The observation view is available after a successful profile extraction in the Radio link window. Angle of view can be adjusted to zoom into the picture. Observation is from Tx antenna to Rx antenna. White and black circles are drawn when the Rx antenna is visible.

Stereo view

The stereoscopic observation is similar to the observation view, except that it uses colour separation (Red and blue glasses required) to gives left and right eyes different point of view, which gives the impression that the picture is popping out of the screen. Stereoscopic effect can be exaggerated by increasing distance between eyes in Options.
