First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing a graphical display for a desktop application, comprising:
- generating scene graph data, the scene graph data including at least one two-dimensional object, the scene graph data adapted to be stored in a graphics module capable of generating the graphical display; and
generating a scene graph display command associated with the at least one two-dimensional object, the scene graph display command adapted to be interpreted by the graphics module resulting in at least one two-dimensional image on the graphical display, wherein the at least one two-dimensional image is associated with the at least one two-dimensional object.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for rapidly displaying air traffic control (ATC) information on an ATC display provides a two-dimensional (2D) scene graph and associated 2D scene graph display commands in conjunction with a thee-dimensional graphic card. In other embodiments, any desktop application software can make use of a 2D scene graph and associated 2D scene graph display commands in order to rapidly render a 2D display.
