An Algorithm for drawing tunnel based on ObjectARX

Abstract

Tunnel line's creation is a prominent problem in military map drawing. This paper discusses an algorithm to solve it. Algorithm was implemented based on ObjectARX. Paper also presents its applicability and limitation. Combined characteristics of tunnel line with existing relative algorithms, a new algorithm is provided. Furthermore, it discusses time complexity of algorithm. Algorithm has been applied to plug-in toolkit in a military graphics system which has gotten reputation among end users.
