2D plotter display, vector chart
A vector chart is a series of points and lines that make up the features on a chart. Vec-
tor charts look computer generated. Details on the chart can be turned on and off. Ob-
jects on the chart can be clicked on to learn more details. Depths can be monitored to
warn before grounding. When zooming in and out of a vector chart only the geograph-
ical features grow larger or smaller where text keeps it's same size and orientation.
Vector charts lack most topographical features.
