This ICD documents the Point Export file structure as well as the AWE Automation interface that provides third party control of Point Export functionality. These point types include Aimpoints, Airports, Drop Zones, Heliports, Local Points, Navaids, Threats and Waypoints. Point Export allows a user to define one or more geographic areas and save the desired overlay information from select data types into a file. This ICD describes layout those files and the information within. This document provides detailed information about the groups and fields in the FalconView 5.x Local Points file format (.lps).įalconView supports the creation of Manual Chart Update Manual (CHUM) files. It allows third parties to modify help to meet their specific requirements.ĭocuments the procedures for adding custom icons for Local Points and the GPS ship symbol. Helpbuilder is a standalone application that integrates compiled HTML (*.chm) files into the FalconView merged-help environment.

FalconView releases are backwards compatible however, later releases support additional interfaces not available in earlier releases.Ī set of interfaces involved in reading and writing overlay preferences. The FalconView ICD describes many automation interfaces introduced as far back as FalconView 3.2. The Electronic Chart Update Manual (ECHUM) ICD describes the format and structure for ECHUM and Chart Data files. This ICD describes the Drawing File format. These objects are stored in a drawing files that uses a Microsoft Access datasheet format. The FalconView Drawing Editor is a vector graphics editor that supports several types of geographically oriented graphical objects, such as, lines, polygons, rectangles, ellipses and bullseyes. The DAFIF SDK provides classes and documentation to access DAFIF data. FalconView imports the NGA datasets into a SQLite DAFIF database. To obtain an SDK for a given release of the software use the same distribution mechanism used to obtain the software.įalconView SDK documentation includes interface control documents (ICDs) for the following areas: Documentĭigital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) is a database of aeronautical data produced by the NGA on a 28-day cycle. Each SDK requires the installation of the corresponding version of FalconView. Installers for the complete SDK are less than 10 MB and can be sent through e-mail or DoD SAFE. The SDK does not contain the FalconView source code or the executable. The FalconView SDK is a collection of documentation and sample code to aid developers in writing tools that either run inside of FalconView, or use FalconView or its components in their application. The FalconView Software Development Kit (SDK) provides developers with important information about the interface to key functional aspects of FalconView.
