Description

The computer program, using a vector graphics system, produces a line drawing of the image of the earth as it would appear to an observer with a given direction of view and a given position above the surface of the earth. Features plotted include a latitude-longitude grid, cities and towns, coastlines, islands, lakes and rivers. Points above the surface of the earth may be plotted as well but no hidden line analysis is performed for such features.
