Foil 61 T4:GIS - 2D Terrain Rendering in Java

From Collaborative and Interactive Visualization Project First Review Review Meeting at Rome Laboratory -- 31 January 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Originally developed using Tcl/Tk for the user interface and customized Unix client-server networking code.
Java enabled us to create a simpler, more portable implementation, available via the Web.
User interface on the client is a Java applet. Terrain data and other information is stored on the Web server and accessed via standard URL requests.
Multi-threading in Java enables navigation of current section of terrain while downloading images of the neighboring sections.
Currently creating Java interface to Illustra database used for 3D VRML terrain viewer, so 2D and 3D versions can access same spatially referenced data.
