Another choice is UI-Paint Box, a UI-View add on. I believe that the
output is stationary, but you can redraw the item to show its movement
or spread. Just Google for "UI-Paint Box."<br>

Use APRS multiline objects. As an example NWS storm plots are<br>
routinely injected into the APRS-IS and gated locally, so storm areas<br>
are outlined. The outline is relative to the object, so it will move<br>
as the object moves.<br>
<br>
You'll have to move it, either manually or with a script of some sort.<br>
<br>
Since gas will expand, your script could even enlarge the area as time<br>
progresses.<br>
<br>
I know xastir handles these objects; not sure about other APRS apps.<br>
(check Curt's client comparison chart here:<br>

target="_blank">http://www.eskimo.com/~archer/aprs_capabilities.html</a>
)<br>
<br>
Clients that can't display the polygons (e.g. D700) should still plot<br>
the object itself, which would ideally be the center of it (or most<br>
affected area, etc).<br>

<div class="im">If your clients do Dead Reckoning like the original
APRSdos,<br>
just put the shape on th emap as an object with a course and<br>
speed, and it should move on recepit on all clients that have DR<br>
enabled. But most don't.<br>
<br>
Better way to be sure everyone sees it, is to manually move it<br>
periodically. In the original APRS, just select it, move the<br>
cursor, hit UPDATE and its done. You should not have to re-draw<br>
it each time, just select and move.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps<br>

<div>I have UIView that I will probably use. It is running the
APRSdos maps. I am getting even better maps from our caounty GIS dept
:-) I hope to have them for this drill. I will test the shape symbols
and look into an enlarging area/time.</div>
