Method for displaying a geo-spatial image, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a textured region of interest having a first texture;
- b) selecting an arbitrary shaped area within said textured region of interest;
- and
- c) overlaying a second texture over the arbitrary shaped area.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps comprising of:
- a) providing a textured region of interest having a first texture;
- b) selecting an arbitrary shaped area within said textured region of interest;
- and
- c) overlaying a second texture over the arbitrary shaped area.
Apparatus for displaying a geo-spatial image, said apparatus comprising:
- means for providing a textured region of interest having a first texture;
- means for selecting an arbitrary shaped area within said textured region of interest;
- and
- means for overlaying a second texture over the arbitrary shaped area.
