Detailed Description

Manages all the rendering at the level of the observer's surroundings.

This includes landscape textures, fog, atmosphere and cardinal points. I decided to put all these elements together in a single class because they are inherently linked, especially when we start moving the observer in altitude.

Note
The Bortle scale index setting was removed from this class, because it was duplicated from StelSkyDrawer, complicating code that changes it. It is now only in StelSkyDrawer and can be accessed with getBortleScaleIndex and setBortleScaleIndex . Slots setAtmosphereBortleLightPollution and getAtmosphereBortleLightPollution in this class have been removed/made private. If script access is desired, use StelMainScriptAPI::get /setBortleScaleIndex

Implements StelModule.

QString LandscapeMgr::installLandscapeFromArchive ( QString  pathToSourceArchive,
const bool  display = false,
const bool  forAllUsers = false 
)
slot

Install a landscape from a ZIP archive.

This function searches for a file named "landscape.ini" in the root directory of the archive. If it is not found there, the function searches inside the topmost sub-directories (if any), but no deeper. If a landscape configuration file is found:

  • if a "landscapes" directory does not exist in the user data directory, it is created;
  • inside it, a sub-directory is created with the landscape identifier for a name;
  • all files in the archive directory that contains the "landscape.ini" file are extracted to the new sub-directory of "landscapes";
  • all sub-directories of that archive directory will be skipped along with any other files or directories in the archive.

The landscape identifier is either:

  • the name of the folder in the archive that contains "landscape.ini",
  • or the first 65 (or less) characters of the archive name, if the "landscape.ini" file is in the nameless root directory of the archive.

The landscape identifier must be unique.

Parameters
pathToSourceArchivepath to the source archive file.
displayIf true, the landscape will be set to be the current landscape after installation.
forAllUsersIf true, this function will try to install the landscape in a way that meakes it is available to all users of this computer. May require running Stellarium as an administrator (root) on some Windows or *nix systems. (NOT IMPLEMENTED!)
Returns
the installed landscape's identifier, or an empty string on failure.
void LandscapeMgr::landscapesChanged ( )
signal

Emitted when a landscape has been installed or un-installed.

For example, it is used to update the list of landscapes in the Sky and viewing options window (the ViewDialog class)

QString LandscapeMgr::loadLandscapeName ( const QString  landscapeID)
slot

This function reads a landscape's name from its configuration file.

Parameters
landscapeIDan installed landscape's identifier (the folder name)
Returns
an empty string if there is no such landscape or some other error occurs
quint64 LandscapeMgr::loadLandscapeSize ( const QString  landscapeID) const
slot

This function calculates and returns a landscape's disc size in bytes.

It adds up the sizes of all files in the landscape's folder. It assumes that there are no sub-directories. (There shouldn't be any anyway.)

Parameters
landscapeIDan installed landscape's identifier (the folder name)
bool LandscapeMgr::precacheLandscape ( const QString &  id,
const bool  replace = true 
)
slot

Preload a landscape into cache.

Parameters
idthe ID of a landscape
replacetrue if existing landscape entry should be replaced (useful during development to reload after edit)
Returns
false if landscape could not be found, or if it already existed in cache and replace was false.
bool LandscapeMgr::removeCachedLandscape ( const QString &  id)
slot

Remove a landscape from the cache of landscapes.

Parameters
idthe ID of a landscape
Returns
false if landscape could not be found
bool LandscapeMgr::removeLandscape ( const QString  landscapeID)
slot

This function removes a landscape from the user data directory.

It tries to recursively delete all files in the landscape directory and then remove it from the list of available landscapes. If the function encounters any file that can't be deleted it aborts the operation (previously deleted files are not restored). Landscapes that were packaged with Stellarium can't be removed, thanks to the #packagedLandscapeIDs list.

Parameters
landscapeIDan installed landscape's identifier (the folder name)
void LandscapeMgr::setAtmosphereAverageLuminance ( const float  overrideLuminance)
slot

Override autocomputed value and set average luminance [cd/m^2] of atmosphere.

This is around 10 at sunset, 6400 in daylight, >0 in dark night. Usually there is no need to call this, the luminance is properly computed. This is a function which can be useful in rare cases, e.g. in scripts when you want to create images of adjacent sky regions with the same brightness setting, or for creation of a virtual camera which can deliberately show over- or underexposure. For these cases, it is advisable to first center the brightest luminary (sun or moon), call getAtmosphereAverageLuminance() and then set this value explicitly to freeze it during image export. To unfreeze, call this again with any negative value.

void LandscapeMgr::setAtmosphereFadeDuration ( const float  f)
slot

Set atmosphere fade duration in s.

void LandscapeMgr::setCacheSize ( int  mb)
inlineslot

Set size of the landscape cache, in MB.

Default size is 100MB, or configured as [landscape/cache_size_mb] from config.ini. The landscape sizes returned in Landscape::getMemorySize() are only approximate, but include image and texture sizes. A big landscape may well take 150MB or more. On a 32bit system, keep this rather small. On 64bit with 16GB RAM and no other tasks, 4GB is no problem. Modern GPUs may have 4 or even 8GB of dedicated texture memory. Most of this may be filled with landscape textures. Example: a museum installation with 20 large (16384x2048) old_stype landscapes can require up to 3.5GB. Allow 4GB cache, and the system will never have to load a landscape during the show when all have been preloaded.

Definition at line 238 of file LandscapeMgr.hpp.
