Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer software for coding for tracks in a system is presented. At least one track of an object is determined on a detection display map, the track having an icon associated therewith. The icon is supplemented with a shape indicating additional information relating to attributes of the track, the shape providing perceptual visual awareness for an operator of said system. The shape includes an indicator of at least one of direction, velocity, path uncertainty, and a level of urgency of the track of the object.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention begin with the generally known features of visualizing a relationship between at least two entities, by: (a) geometrically mapping the at least two entities onto a surface; (b) providing a relationship record for each of the at least two entities; (c) generating a display of the at least two entities together with at least one connector between the at least two entities as the visualizing the relationship from the relationship record; (d) the connector having two ends connected to a pair of the at least two entities, the connector having an extension between the two ends, the extension passing out of the plane. The present invention provides the improvement of: for at least one pair of entities, the at least one pair having a plurality of relationships, the connector having a plurality of strands wherein each of the plurality of strands corresponds to each of the plurality of relationships.
