The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all for a unique set of training objectives including: 3-D sea states, reduced visibility scenarios, a variety of dynamic and fixed landing platforms, extremely realistic lighting and illumination effects, and high detail terrain inserts for low altitude hover An option in Microsoft Internet Explorer that removes the permanent underline from hypertext links. The underline displays automatically and only when the cursor is placed over (hovers over) the link. Hover is available in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Underline links. and "nap-of-the-earth" flight.
