Member Function Documentation

virtual double Nebula::getAngularSize ( const StelCore core) const
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 = Q_NULLPTR) const
virtual

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

Reimplemented from StelObject.

float Nebula::getContrastIndex ( const StelCore core) const

Compute an extended object's contrast index.

QString Nebula::getDSODesignation ( ) const

Get designation for DSO (with priority: M, C, NGC, IC, B, Sh2, VdB, RCW, LDN, LBN, Cr, Mel, PGC, UGC, Ced)

Returns
a designation
virtual QString Nebula::getEnglishName ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Return object's name in english.

Implements StelObject.

Definition at line 166 of file Nebula.hpp.

virtual QString Nebula::getID ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns a unique identifier for this object.

The ID should be unique for all objects of the same type, but may freely conflict with IDs of other types, so getType() must also be tested.

With this it should be possible to at least identify the same object in a different instance of Stellarium running the same version, but it would even be better if the ID provides some degree of forward-compatibility. For some object types (e.g. planets) this may simply return getEnglishName(), but better candidates may be official designations or at least (stable) internal IDs.

An object may have multiple IDs (different catalog numbers, etc). StelObjectMgr::searchByID() should search through all ID variants, but this method only returns one of them.

Implements StelObject.

Definition at line 159 of file Nebula.hpp.

virtual Vec3f Nebula::getInfoColor ( void  ) const
virtual

Get a color used to display info about the object.

Reimplemented from StelObject.

  • bmag (photometric B magnitude. 99 if unknown)
  • morpho (longish description; translated!)
  • surface-brightness A few entries are optional
  • bV (B-V index)

    Parameters
    corethe StelCore object
    flagsa set of InfoStringGroup items to include in the return value.

Default implementation of the getRegion method.

Return the spatial region of the object.

Reimplemented from StelObject.

Definition at line 170 of file Nebula.hpp.

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.

float Nebula::getSurfaceArea ( void  ) const

Get the surface area.

Returns
surface area in square degrees.
virtual QString Nebula::getType ( ) const
inlinevirtual

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