Interactive aeronautical charting
J. H. Luetje · IBM Systems Journal · 1970
The computer-assisted aeronautical charting system replaces many tedious operations in manually up-dating aeronoautical charts. By providing interactive communication with the display, the system emphasizes the editor's (chart compiler's) real contribution—his ability to aesthetically and efficiently resolve conflicts in two-dimensional data presentations. Therefore, the concepts discussed here are potentially transferable to applications involving the two-dimensional mapping of structured data, e.g., newspaper page layout, public utility mapping, and chemical and other such processing plant design.
