Abstract
A display system (10) collects data generated by a plurality of sensors (12) and performs an image process (24) to graphically present the sensor data on a display (16). The sensor data may be characterized by gap periods (52) during which the data are unavailable. A compress process (30) evaluates raw sensor data (26) and forms a compressed table (32) from which time-lines (56) for each sensor (12) may be drawn. A draw process (34) and a decompress process (36) draw collinear line segments (54) separated by gaps (52) for selected sensors (12). A time-line window (64) may be overlaid on the graphic image data.
