Abstract:
1. A method implemented using a processor for displaying an operating parameter for a mobile platform, comprising: digitizing a plurality of different graphs, with each said graph representing a different operational or environmental characteristic and being related to a common parameter, and storing the plurality of different, digitized graphs in a memory; selecting a first one of said digitized graphs that corresponds to a first operational consideration for the mobile platform, the first digitized graph being displayed on a display; displaying a user positionable marker on said first digitized graph at a specific, user selected location on said first digitized graph; selecting a second one of said digitized graphs from the memory that corresponds to a second operational consideration for the mobile platform; overlaying said second one of said digitized graphs over at least a portion of said first digitized graph on said display, with said marker remaining visible and superimposed on said second digitized graph and without having moved relative to said first digitized graph; aligning said second digitized graph relative to information on said first digitized graph such that said information remains visible on said first digitized graph; and using said marker to assist in reading said second digitized graph.
