An experimental MIL-STD-2525D/APP-6 symbology explorer based on the Joint Military Symbology Markup Language (JMSML) project.
See the explorer in action at http://explorer.milsymb.net/.
The jmsml.js file is basically a Javascript
version of the the JMSML instance data converted using
the create_json_data.py script.
Based on the JMSML data the web application assembles a symbol using several SVG files (one for the frame, one for the symbol, etc.).
This project is a work in progress.
Clone project:
$ git clone https://github.com/kjellmf/military-symbology-explorer.git
Additionally you need the SVG files from the JMSML-project. The easiest way to get them is to clone the JMSML project:
$ git clone https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml.git
Navigate to the root directory of the project:
$ cd military-symbology-explorer
Install bower dependencies:
$ bower install
Install development dependencies (optional):
$ npm install
Copy the svg directory from joint-military-symbology-xml into the main directory. If both projects are in the
same directory, you can use the gulp task copy-svg-to-main:
$ gulp copy-svg-to-main
You are now ready to run the web application.
The military symbology explorer is a Javascript application and you therefore need to serve the files using a web server. For development there is a gulp task that will start BrowserSync for you:
$ gulp browser-sync
Alternatively you can use another web server. If you have Python installed you can start a simple server using:
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Then navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000 using your favorite web browser.
For faster loading you can build a minified version of the project using the build-minify task:
$ gulp build-minify
There is also a task for copying the SVGs to the dist directory:
$ gulp copy-svg-to-dist
