Though the WHIPS software can be used for some general image enhancement and processing work, the current focus is for the development of sidescan sonar processing support. This 'support' includes initial digital processing and enhancement as well as digital mapping of the sonar swaths. Software development has been on a Data General AViiON 410 workstation. The software has been compiled and tested on other platforms which have included a SUN Sparcstation and Digital Equipment Corporation DECstations. The public is welcome to the software though no warranty is implied nor should be assumed. The WHIPS software development continues as a work in progress. ========================================================================== PROJ.4/ The contents of this directory is principally related to the PROJ.4 cartographic projection system. Other cartographic source code of general interest are also included. Program proj is a standard UNIX filter function which converts geographic longitude and latitude coordinates into cartesian coordinates, by means of a wide variety of cartographic projection functions. For many of the projection functions the inverse conversion, can also be performed. ========================================================================== MAPGEN/ The contents of this directory are principaly related to the MAPGEN/ PLOTGEN graphic system. It is currently a mirror site for charon.er.usgs.gov, the primary source of said software. Other source code of general interest is also included. Program MAPGEN (map generator) is a digital cartographic software system that provides one method of transforming digital geographic data to maps. The system includes an output device-independent graphics subsystem that controls plotting hardware. A range of cartographic functions has been partitioned into a small group of fundamental computer programs that constitute the core of the MAPGEN computer program package. These computer programs establish parameters for the map size, projection, scale, geographic graticule, line posting and plotting, legend, inclusion of compacted line data such as coastlines and political boundaries and provision for user previewing. The MAPGEN system has been compiled on a variety of UNIX computer systems. An essential part of the system is proj, which must also be retrieved. ========================================================================== COAST/ Public domain coastline information in 'coast' format for use with the MAPGEN system.
