- Abstract
- """"""""
- PMGlobe is a program which displays the Earth as a globe using OS/2
- Presentation Manager. You can choose to view the globe from any
- direction, or select one of a number of 'standard' views.
-
- In addition to simply displaying a picture of the world, PMGlobe will
- also let you light the globe as though by sunlight -- so you can see
- at a glance those areas of the globe where the sun has risen, and where
- it is night. Additional options add shading to the globe for a
- three-dimensional effect, and let you measure and track distances
- between two points on the globe. Other features are described in the
- file PMGLOBE.DOC.
-
- With the command interface included with PMGlobe, you can add markers
- labels, and clocks to the globe and have more control over its actions.
- If you wish, you can use REXX (the scripting language included with
- OS/2) as a macro language for PMGlobe -- see PMGLOBEX.DOC for a
- description of the PMGlobe commands available; all of them can be used
- in a REXX macro.
