I'm fooling around with an idea for how to tell your antenna system where
you want to point (or not point), and I'm looking for a simple tool that
lets me display a background image (i.e. a world map or mapped sky image),
and then draw circles, dots, or rectangles on it, and spits out a list of
what's been drawn. It should let you specify the color of the object you
draw, but it only needs a palette of a few colors. The idea is to be able
to tell the system where you want to "talk to" and where you want to "null
out" in a graphical way.
I started to write something in VB to do this, but it occurred that
someone, somewhere has probably done this already, so why should I reinvent
the wheel.
It would be nice if it were reasonably interactive (in that adding or
removing a new "zone" should occur in seconds). Nothing sophisticated
(sort of like the drawing tools in power point,word,excel would be good
enough, except that getting the data in and out of ppt would be a nightmare)
Free is nice, but paying for it is ok too, as long as it does what's needed.
Jim
