How to Draw a Sequence Diagram Timo Poranenstar, Erkki M¨akinenstarstar, and Jyrki Nummenmaa Department of Computer and Information Sciences Kanslerinrinne 1 FIN-33014 University of Tampere Finland {tp,em,jyrki}@cs.uta.fi Abstract.

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a common way to collect location data for agricultural, urban, and natural resources. It is made up of a constellation of 24 satellites used for civilian GPS, which accurately determine your location (X,Y,Z) in any weather, day or night, anywhere on Earth. There are several choices of GPS units, all of which differ in features and capability. Overall, GPS units are separated into three categories: recreation-grade, mapping-grade, and survey-grade. This guide is for recreational and basic mapping units only (with horizontal accuracies of approximately 2-30m). For more information about higher-grade mapping and survey-grade, please visit http://giif.cnr.berkeley.edu/gps.html.

Creating a speeding bullet
1. In a new Photoshop file, make the background black by pressing Command and the letter I (Control + I in Windows).
2. In a layer on the left, make a thin rectangular selection and fill it with a gray gradient to serve as the gun barrel. It should bleed off the page on the left and extend slightly into the picture.
3. In another layer make a shape filled with a gray gradient to serve as the bullet. If you don’t already know, do a little research to determine what a bullet projectile looks like.
4. Duplicate the layer with the bullet and apply the Motion Blur filter (Filter > Blur > Motion Blur) at a high amount.
5. Move the blurred layer to the left so the resulting streak starts at the back of the bullet and runs toward the end of the gun barrel.

Once you understand the technical functions of some of the features, such as Brightness and Contrast and remember the effect they produce, your mind is set free to concentrate on how to creatively combine the tools. It’s much like choosing the right brush and colors to paint with.
