http://www.bom.gov.au/tsunami/history/20110311.shtml
the first image is an IDL graphic showing the max wave amplitude from a tsunami prediction.
http://www.bom.gov.au/tsunami/
this map and all the associated textual products are created by an IDL desktop app. Difficult to show you a current warning map as events are infrequent...but essentially coastal zones are hatched in. If you look at http://www.bom.gov.au/tsunami/about/jatwc.shtml
the picture at the top shows an operator in front of 3 screens, left one is an IDL graph showing predicted wave amplitude for a specific point and a google-earth like sphere that depicts model wave amps (also done in IDL), the middle screen shows the warning preparation tool, an IDL widget app.
