In order to meet the requirements of fast interaction between autonomous navigation and attitude navigation information of vessels, research and design of a multi function vessel attitude navigation graphical display interface based on attitude ball and navigation compass is proposed by drawing on the concept of aviation multi function display. Based on the OpenGL technology, the interface graphics generation algorithm, the viewport control algorithm, the Chinese character display algorithm and the color optimization are developed; the algorithms are drawn by using Lab Windows CVI development platform, the interface is displayed, and the software efficiency and detail experience are optimized and adjusted. The results show that, with the movement of fishing vessel carrier, the interface can indicate the platform swing data in the form of attitude ball, indicate heading data in the form of compass rotation, indicate current velocity value information, changing trend and changing rate information in the form of scale translation, thus achieving the design goals. With demonstration, the software interface has the advantages of large information expression capacity, high interactive efficiency and good human-machine efficiency. It can be used as the basic supporting component of fishing vessel digital cockpit and unmanned fishing vessel remote control base station, with strong practical value.
