14 DISPLAY SOFTWARE
14.1 New Display Features
There were few new features added to the display for the MDSS 2003-2004 winter
demonstration.
The display's screen resolution was increased to 1280x760. Coupled with larger monitors,
this provided the ability to display more information. Users were generally happy with
the updated format, though a few complained of difficulty in seeing information.
A button was added to display parameter values directly on the map next to the colored
dots (Fig. 14.1). Seeing the actual numbers on the map is a common presentation format
used by other weather tools at the garages. Users had requested this feature during the
MDSS 2002-2003 winter demonstration. They were happy to see it implemented.
