Hi, all...........
I am not a programmer, so have no idea how complicated this might be.
Anyone interested in taking a look at this?
For SAR use, there is a spreadsheet application that calculates
probability of success of a search in a particular search sector. In
Xastir, we can identify the search sectors with the closed polygon which
will calculate the area.
Is there a way to have Xastir and the OpenOffice Calc / Excel
application exchange the search sector areas and the current
Probability of Success for visual presentation?
That is, the operator would set up the search sector in Xastir using
predefined sector names. Xastir would calculate the area of the sector
and write those area values to the proper field in the spreadsheet.
The operator would then perform the calculations in the spreadsheet and
update the POS for that sector. The spreadsheet would then send the
updated POS values to the note field of the sector for display in Xastir.
A step further would be to shade the sector based on the current POS.
Anyone up for it?
Many thanx................. jt
