mdi-radar

A standalone radar/map demonstration application, built on the mapping chapter’s MapView2D architecture.

github.com/heddle/mdi-radar · v1.0.0 release

What It Demonstrates

mdi-radar extends the MDI map view with radar-specific tools and content, showing how a domain-specific application can sit on top of the general mapping layer without modifying it:

Radar preset tools and a dedicated button palette (RadarButton, RadarButtonPalette)
Map-native radar items (RadarItem) with basing and parameter models (RadarBasing, RadarParameters)
ETOPO5 terrain/bathymetry shading, loaded from MDI’s bundled classpath resources
Terrain-aware line-of-sight visualization, using great-circle geodesy (Geodesy) and a Plate Carrée projection

Gallery
