Abbreviations, Acronyms and Definitions:

GUI	Graphical User Interface

Background

About the System: Version 1 of Way is being designed/developed for/by Nearby. It is envisioned as the first release of a personal navigation system.

Some Contextual Information: The following design documents exist:

• Product Mission Statement
• Needs Statement for Version 1
• Use Case Descriptions for Version 1

Existing Components

The GUI team has developed the following two classes that you must use:



Drafter ( Byte Code ) (Documentation)

WayWindow ( Byte Code ) (Documentation)

These classes make use of the following image files:

The Icon for Way
The Logo for Way


The data team has created the following "digital map" files that can be used for testing purposes:

USA State/Commonwealth Boundaries
World Boundaries


The USA file was created from the US Census Bureau's TIGER Boundary Files. The TIGER files were "thinned" (to make them more useful for testing purposes) and re-formatted.

The World file was created from the Central Intelligence Agency's World Data Bank II. The WDBII files were "thinned" (to make them more useful for testing purposes) and re-formatted.

See the Description of Way Boundary Files for more information.

Requirements of New Components

The system must satisfy the following physical requirements:

PR-1 The system must have a single map window.

The system must satisfy the following operational requirements:

OR-1 The system must use one command-line parameter to determine which map to display. (see Needs U-1)

OR-2 The system must use one command-line parameter to determine which map projection to use. (see Needs U-2)

OR-3 The system must display the appropriate map using the appropriate projection using the entire window. (see Needs S-1 and S-2)
