virtual double Nebula::getAngularSize

(

const StelCore *

core

)

const [inline, virtual]

Return the angular radius of a circle containing the object as seen from the observer with the circle center assumed to be at getJ2000EquatorialPos().

Returns:

radius in degree. This value is the apparent angular size of the object, and is independent of the current FOV.

Implements StelObject.

virtual double Nebula::getCloseViewFov

(

const StelCore *

= NULL

)

const [virtual]

Return the best FOV in degree to use for a close view of the object.

Reimplemented from StelObject.

virtual QString Nebula::getEnglishName

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

Return object's name in english.

Implements StelObject.

virtual Vec3f Nebula::getInfoColor

(

void

)

const [virtual]

Get a color used to display info about the object.

Reimplemented from StelObject.

virtual QString Nebula::getInfoString	(	const StelCore *	core,
		const InfoStringGroup &	flags
	)			const [virtual]

Nebula support the following InfoStringGroup flags:

• Name
• CatalogNumber
• Magnitude
• RaDec
• AltAzi
• Distance
• Size
• Extra1 (contains the Nebula type, which might be "Galaxy", "Cluster" or similar)
• PlainText.

Parameters:

	core	the StelCore object
	flags	a set of InfoStringGroup items to include in the return value.

Returns:

a QString containing an HMTL encoded description of the Nebula.

Implements StelObject.

virtual Vec3d Nebula::getJ2000EquatorialPos

(

const StelCore *

core

)

const [inline, virtual]

Get observer-centered equatorial coordinates at equinox J2000.

Implements StelObject.

virtual QString Nebula::getNameI18n

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

Return translated object's name.

Implements StelObject.

virtual SphericalRegionP Nebula::getRegion

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

Default implementation of the getRegion method.

Return the spatial region of the object.

Reimplemented from StelObject.

virtual float Nebula::getSelectPriority

(

const StelCore *

)

const [virtual]

Return a priority value which is used to discriminate objects by priority As for magnitudes, the lower is the higher priority.

Reimplemented from StelObject.

virtual QString Nebula::getType

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

Return object's type. It should be the name of the class.

Implements StelObject.

QString Nebula::getTypeString

(

)

const

Get the printable nebula Type.

Returns:

the nebula type code.

virtual float Nebula::getVMagnitude	(	const StelCore *	core,
		bool	withExtinction = false
	)			const [virtual]

Return object's apparent V magnitude as seen from observer.

Reimplemented from StelObject.
