A system for conveying location of an object by varying a characteristic such as size, color, or intensity of an icon located in a two-dimensional display. In the illustrative embodiment, the invention represents aircraft altitude by the size of an icon. Each aircraft position and heading is plotted as location and orientation of the icon in two-dimensional space, the axes of which represent latitude and longitude. The size of the icon is selected from a limited number of discriminably different sizes to represent the aircraft altitude. Each size represents a distinct altitude range.

L'invention concerne un système de localisation d'objet par variation d'une caractéristique, du type taille, couleur, ou intensité d'une icône présentée sur un afficheur bidimensionnel. A titre d'exemple, l'altitude d'un aéronef est représentée au moyen de la taille d'une icône. On représente chaque position d'aéronef et chaque cap sous la forme d'une icône localisée et orientée dans un espace bidimensionnel, dont les axes représentent la latitude et la longitude. La taille de l'icône est sélectionnée dans un groupe limité de tailles différentes pouvant être mutuellement distinguées, ce qui permet de représenter l'altitude de l'aéronef. Chaque taille représente une plage d'altitude distincte.
