[edit] Content Developers Guide (How to�)
- A. Use Plug-In Architecture
- B. Use XML Add-Ons
- C. Add 'Surface Data� that mates with elevation
- i. Landsat
- ii. Aerial Photography
- D. Add 'Elevation Data� (higher resolution elevation)
- E. Add Layers (Above Surface)
- i. Animation Control: Layers need a time control element to allow successive layers to be animated
- ii. Layer Description: text description with on/off toggle (moveable box)
- iii. Layer Legend: legend with on/off toggle (moveable box).
- iv. Layer Terrain Synch: follows adjustable height above terrain, sensitive to vertical exaggeration setting (WMS, ESRI Shapefiles, etc.)
- Biology: flora and fauna; vegetation type, i.e., agricultural crops, native species, etc.; endangered species; species distribution, etc.
- Geology: surface rock or sediment type; depositional environments; earthquake data; World Bathymetric data (MBARI data);
- Related Annotation Layer turned on and off
- Zero height above terrain would mate the layer to the terrain.
- v. Layer Absolute Synch: follows constant but adjustable height above sea level (WMS, ESRI Shapefiles, etc.)
- Contours for Biosphere/Atmosphere: temperature, barometric pressure, precipitation, plate tectonics, ozone, etc.
- Demographic Data (incidence of cancer, voting patterns, etc.)
- Related Annotation Layer turned on and off
- F. Processing Imagery, i.e., Landsat (use �edu� FTP downloaded images for example):
- i. Technique for color balancing images
- ii. Technique for mosaicking images
- �Perforating edge with transparency for overlap stitch
- iii. Structure of tiling scheme
- Pyramid scheme
- iv. Technique for slicing and dicing larger mosaicked image into smaller tiles
- v. Advice for applying tiles to World Wind
- Packaging, installation, XML file management
