[PSUBS-MAILIST] compass

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Jon,
thanks. What I am not sure about is the graphics side
of things. I like what you have done, which is similar to the graphics display
on commercial submersibles, & I want to display all my sensors in a similar way. 
I would also like to display video image (periscope) on the same screen.
I am envisaging that there are graphics packages that make this job a bit
easier. I have seen marine instrument display programs, but a submarine being so 
unique will require taylor made graphics. 
I have learnt photoshop & done a bit of animation so are not too daunted by
what I may be getting in to & would probably enjoy creating some high definition
(cool) displays.
So am probably looking for some sort of program that focuses on marine,
automobile or manufacturing instrument display & has basics like bar graphs
etc but can be tailored to cover instruments on a submarine. Hopefully
something that takes a lot of programming out of the equation.
Cheers Alan
