Basic LCARS Control Vector Graphics

[Matt Wise]

Here are some generic vector graphics that I designed for the panels. These vectors are very basic but they do follow the design specifications at LCARS 47.

Elbo

End Button

Round Button

Round Left

Round Right

Square Button

Like I said, these are just a very basic start of all the basic LCARS controls. If anyone wants the SVG files for these images let me know and I will post them. The nice thing about using vector graphics is they will scale no matter the resolution of the screen they are placed on.

Nice. Are there different meanings for the different button styles?

 

 

[Matt Wise]

Yes there are, here is how I understand them:

 

• Square or rectangular buttons are used for primary input.
• Round buttons are used to signify commands.
• End buttons are attached to square buttons or elbows to show options of that input or system.
• Elbows are also used to divide or separate readouts.

Are there any other graphics that might be needed on the LCARS displays to represent ship systems?

Here is what I currently have:

• Warp Core
• Top Ship View
• Side Ship View
• Warp Core Reactor Chamber
• Nacelle
• Power Conduits

Matt,

Could you post the SVG files?  

Thanks,

Joe

Here are the SVGs that I have made so far. Been taking a break on these so I can get some plans for the EPS done.

Hi Matt, 

I have a copy of the TNG Technical manual, Im fairly sure it has the layouts for the main bridge LACARS screens, would these be any use to you? Or are you working on an interface specific to the project?
