Note This is work in progress - the idea is to identify required building blocks to easily specify most MFD functionality in a generic fashion, without requiring a ton of custom Nasal code and without being specific to a single type of MFD.
The Nasal/Canvas data structures will be transparently created and compiled for each MFD. Each MFD consists of an arbitrary number of buttons, modes and pages. Each MFD can be instantiated multiple times, and each MFD is designed to be aircraft/instrument agnostic, i.e. also works just in a conventional Canvas dialog. Buttons can trigger and switch between modes, and modes may have pages (conventionally implemented through a single SVG file). |
