PDToolKit (FAA TERPS) - XML Reporting
One of the key features of PDToolKit is to present the aviation data and information
in XML, this is available in reports, such as Obstacles, Waypoints, etc. or to present
the designer with the results of a Obstacle Analysis.
The screen shot to the right shows the power of XML Style sheets (XSLT is the technical
acronym). The obstacles are extracted from the CAD drawing by PDToolKit in XML,
then applying a style sheet to the XML data (obstacles) it can be presented using
Internet Explorer. The example shows the obstacles presented in a HTML table and
sorted by obstacle height. There is also a “Show Me” that when clicked will instruct
the cad software to zoom the obstacle to the centre of the view.
