Abstract: A method is provided for two-dimensional graphic representation on an aircraft display screen of an image or of a symbol or of a symbology (PE) whose three-dimensional coordinates in a terrestrial reference frame are known. The graphic representation of the object or of the symbol is stretched in a vertical axis by a constant factor (α) lying between 1.0 and 1.2, the stretching having, for its neutral plane, the local horizontal geographic plane containing the aircraft. Furthermore, when the symbology is a pitch scale consisting of graduations, two successive graduations being separated by a constant angular value, the graphic representations of two successive graduations of the pitch scale are separated by a constant distance on the display screen.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of touchscreen devices with projected capacitive detection comprising a matrix touchpad comprising a plurality of conducting rows and of conducting columns, the said pad being linked to electronic control means. The electronic control means generate two periodic emission voltages emitted at two different frequencies. The analysis of the reception voltages makes it possible to determine the positions of two simultaneous presses on the touchpad, including when the two presses are done on rows or columns that are close. The determination of the presses is performed essentially by calculating the barycentres of the troughs of the reception voltages.
