A method including defining, in a buffer, particles having initial positions in an absolute coordinate system independent of a graphical user interface (GUI) in which the particles are renderable. The method also includes assigning memory ranges within the buffer to corresponding ones of the particles. The method also includes generating, in the memory ranges, updated positions for the particles. The method also includes determining, in the memory ranges and from a combination of the initial positions and the updated positions, corresponding vertices for each of the particles. The method also includes creating, from the corresponding vertices, corresponding particle trails for the particles. The method also includes storing the corresponding particle trails in the memory ranges associated with the particles.

Rendering of persistent particle trails for dynamic displays

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting a legend are provided. One system comprises a display unit; a user input device configured to receive a first input indicating a first altitude value; one or more processors; and a memory configured to store one or more programs, the one or more programs being configured for execution by the one or more processors and including instructions for: retrieving weather information corresponding to the first input; generating a command signal for displaying a legend having a color-code or shading-code associated with a plurality of attributes included in the retrieved weather information; and displaying the legend, on the display unit, in association with the retrieved weather information.
