Tekmap Consulting has added multi-thread support to the GTK+ MB-System interface.  Processing time is greatly reduced by running select mb-system commands in separate threads. The mb-system commands include:

  • mbbackangle
  • mbprocess

These programs require very little system memory, and do not take too much CPU time. By placing them in multiple managed threads, the processing time for a block of multibeam files is significantly reduced.

One reason for developing the GTK+ MB-System interface was the need for a cross-platform interface to the MB-System mbio library. The GTK+ MB-System has been built for and run on a Windows® system. The software was cross-compiled on a Linux x32 system using the tools from MinGW.

The following are the brief notes kept for setting up the cross-compile environment, and building the MB-System mbio library and the GTK+ MB-System interface. These notes are from 2008, so some of the instructions may a out of date.

The GTK+ MB-System GUI consists of a toolbar at the top, a left pane for multibeam file names, and a right pane for data display.

The left pane displays a GTK liststore consisting of a checkbutton, file name and path, and format ID. If an individual file is loaded, it is automatically added to the list. The list can be saved and reloaded for future use. The saved file list is compatible with other MB-System commands such as mbset, mblist, etc.

The right pane displays the loaded data in a split screen. The top of the right pane displays... Read More
