Object symbology generating system, device, and method

A device for generating object symbology presentable on an aircraft display unit, such device comprising:

• a windows generator configured to
• perform a first operation, where such first operation is configured to
• retrieve a system configuration file;
• retrieve one first definition file comprised of a first layer, where
• the first layer is comprised of a plurality of first-layer widgets, where
• each first-layer widget is defined by a set of widget parameters, and
• one first-layer widget is defined with a set of first-layer widget parameters comprised of
• a number of cells along a first axis of a screen array parameter,
• a number of cells along a second axis of the screen array parameter,
• an angular measurement of size of each cell along the first axis of the screen array parameter, and
• an angular measurement of size of each cell along the second axis of the screen array parameter;
• and
• retrieve at least one second definition file, wherein
• each second definition file is comprised of at least one second layer, where
• each second layer is comprised of at least one second-layer widget, where
• at least one second-layer widget is defined with a set of second-layer widget parameters comprised of
• a number of rows parameter,
• a number of columns parameter, and
• a fill style parameter, where
• the fill style parameter is indicative of an object located along a third axis;
• and
• perform a second operation, where such second operation is configured to
• receive a first-layer widget data set, wherein
• the first-layer widget data set is representative of the set of first-layer widget parameters;
• receive at least one second-layer widget data set, wherein
• each second-layer widget data set is representative of one set of second-layer widget parameters, where
• the first-layer widget data set and each second-layer widget data set have been sent under one uniform communication interface protocol;
• determine the screen array cell of each fill style as a function of at least
• the first-layer widget data set, and
• each second-layer widget data set;
• and
• generate a pixel data set responsive to the determination and representative of at least one fill style, such that
• symbology of each fill style is presentable for a three-dimensional perspective.
