Properties

AREA1: number = 101

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least three anchor points to define the boundary of the area. Add as many points as necessary to accurately reflect the area's size and shape. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: Not applicable.

AREA2: number = 102

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least three anchor points to define the boundary of the area. Add as many points as necessary to accurately reflect the area's size and shape. Size/Shape: Determined by the anchor points. Orientation: Not applicable.

DONOTDRAW: number = 0

Usually an entry in the MilStd that is just a category containing other symbols and not something that gets drawn itself.

LINE1: number = 301

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line. Size/Shape: Scalable/Curve. The curvature of the line is operator defined. Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line.

LINE2: number = 302

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line.

Size/Shape: Scalable/Curve. The points are typically connected with a straight line consisting of a short line section and an alternating V shape. The curvature and amplitude of the waves of the line is operator defined.

Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line. The line should be drawn so the "V" shapes are facing in the direction of movement. The "V" shapes and short line segment will alternate along the line.

LINE3: number = 303

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line.

Size/Shape: Scalable/Curve. The points are typically connected with a straight line consisting of a short line section and alternating two dots. The curvature and amplitude of the waves of the line is operator defined.

Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line. The two dots and the short line segment will alternate along the line.

LINE4: number = 304

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line.

Size/Shape: Scalable/Curve. The points are typically connected with a curved/wavy line consisting of a short line and one dot. The curvature and amplitude of the waves of the line is operator defined.

Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line. The dot and the short line segment will alternate along the line.

LINE5: number = 305

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least three anchor points to define the boundary of the area. Add as many points as necessary to accurately reflect the area's size and shape.

Size/Shape: Determined by the anchor points.

Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line. The dual line segments will be parallel to slightly wider at the western end.

LINE6: number = 306

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line. Size/Shape: Scalable/Curve. The points are typically connected with a solid straight line with alternating slanted lines connected as depicted in the example to indicate convergence. Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line. The alternating slanted lines will be evenly spaced along the line. Orientation is determined by the anchor points.

LINE7: number = 307

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line.

Size/Shape: Scalable/Curve. The points are typically connected with a dashed straight or curved line. The curvature of the line is operator defined.

Orientation: The first and last anchor points determine the length of the line. The red and green line segments will alternate along the line. Orientation is determined by the anchor points.

LINE8: number = 308

Anchor Points: This graphic requires at least two anchor points, points 1 and 2, to define the line. Additional points can be defined to extend the line. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is oriented upright on the display as shown in the example and operator-centered over the desired location.

POINT1: number = 201

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is typically centered over the desired location.

POINT2: number = 202

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the geometric center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is centered over the anchor location.

POINT3: number = 203

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is oriented upright on the display and operator-centered over the desired location.

POINT4: number = 204

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is centered over the location of the reported wind.

POINT5: number = 205

Anchor Points: This graphic requires a minimum of two anchor points. The first point defines the location of the plot circle. Additional points define the wind shaft and the speed of the wind. Wind speed is depicted on the shaft using a combination of the shaft alone (1-2 knots), half barbs (5 knots), barbs (10 knots) and pennants (50 knots). Wind speeds 5 knots or greater are rounded to the nearest 5 knots. Missing wind speed is depicted by an "X" at the end of the wind shaft. Winds with missing direction are not displayed.

Size/Shape: Not applicable.

Orientation: The shaft of the graphic is oriented with reference to true north in the direction from which the wind is blowing to the nearest 10 degrees. The barbs and pennants lie back from the shaft at an angle of 120 degrees and are oriented to the left of the shaft in the Northern Hemisphere and to the right in the Southern Hemisphere. The graphic is operator-centered over the desired location.

POINT6: number = 206

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is centered over the location of the reported cloud cover.

POINT7: number = 207

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is centered over the location of the reported conditions.

POINT8: number = 208

Anchor Points: This graphic requires one anchor point. The center point defines the center of the graphic. Size/Shape: Scalable. Orientation: The graphic is centered over the position of the tropical system.
