Topological Mappings

No comments? Does it stink that bad? ... wait does it, and I am just so self diluted that I can't see that... Lie, lie through your teeth and tell me it is HU, Editor's Pick for sure, and what not; my ego may not be able to handle anything else

Did I mention I am cool ... Wait was that egotistical?

Can't get a picture up for a bit, but I should have realized that the LS is so old hat and should have gove for something a little more exciting, like a sponge... or a calculator.

Thanks Pesidio, I have been looking at topological maps on wikipedia, and you are right, so I can produce that look; however, I am trying to go for a more computer-esque look with this attempt; you know the kind that one would see in a war room on a naval ship. But I do have to work with this one a lot more, it isn't up to my new standard of quality.

Maybe if your going for the war room strategy map you could put in a glowing positional blip or two - just a thought

Yeah much more interesting than just blips - I was trying to think what else those map have and all I could think of is some times coloured lines connect the markers, don't know how they'd look though might just make it look messy

Just a heads up "Simple Radar Grid" by jffe - definitly room for a different approach, especialy the map part your developing [ Hope you would prefer to know ]

I have seen his filter, yes; and do want to avoid duplication, I think I will go more for a topological map, but will still add in whistles and bells so if you want different effects like dots or squares you can still add this.

There is a name for this... 99.9 % sure it's not topographical in it's name. Topographical implies a land map.

Sounds like you are referring more or less to a sonar map... and there is a name for it... also just asked my husband if he knew... he said maybe global positioning, intelligence briefing... war games... but he doesn't know the techinical name for it either...

trying to help...

strategic planning? Ariel Recon? With the help of the web maybe you can find out the name for this type of map... it's not topographical I know that...

does this help?

P.S. Sonar imaging!!! I think that's it. He said it and it clicks with me too... pretty sure that's what you are thinking of???

Redcap...

This has the potential to be a truly remarkable filter! Is there anyway you could add a defined grid over the image? Either an "X-Y" straight grid, or possible a radial grid originating from the center?

I think if you keep the word "technical" in the back of your mind when you work on this, it will come alive on it's own accord.

Nice job...keep up the good work!

Good luck getting it to where you want it!

Yeah, good ideas..... For Topography of land, I would use a movable and scalable longitude/latitude reference grid. I don't know how far you are going to go with this, but if you have those contour lines based on increments of tone, this could very well be made to use.....
