Detailed Description

Because this class is intended for use in scripting (although other uses are also fine), all label types and so on are specified by QString descriptions. The labels are painted very late, i.e. also sky object labels will be written over the landscape.

Member Function Documentation

◆ deleteAllLabels

int LabelMgr::deleteAllLabels ( void )

slot

Returns: the number of labels deleted

◆ deleteLabel

void LabelMgr::deleteLabel ( int id )

slot

Returns: true if the id existed and was deleted, else false

◆ labelHorizon

int LabelMgr::labelHorizon	(	const QString &	text,
		float	az,
		float	alt,
		bool	visible = `true`,
		float	fontSize = `14`,
		const QString &	fontColor = `"#999999"`,
		bool	autoDelete = `false`,
		int	autoDeleteTimeoutMs = `0`
	)

slot

Can be used e.g. to show landscape features

Parameters

text	the text to display
az	azimuth, degrees
alt	altitude, degrees
visible	if true, the label starts displayed, else it starts hidden
fontSize	size of the font to use
fontColor	HTML-like color spec, e.g. "#ffff00" for yellow
autoDelete	the label will be automatically deleted after it is displayed once
autoDeleteTimeoutMs	if not zero, the label will be automatically deleted after autoDeleteTimeoutMs ms

◆ labelObject

int LabelMgr::labelObject	(	const QString &	text,
		const QString &	objectName,
		bool	visible = `true`,
		float	fontSize = `14`,
		const QString &	fontColor = `"#999999"`,
		const QString &	side = `"E"`,
		double	labelDistance = `-1.0`,
		const QString &	style = `"TextOnly"`,
		bool	autoDelete = `false`,
		int	autoDeleteTimeoutMs = `0`
	)

slot

Parameters

text	the text to display
objectName	the English name of the object to attach to
visible	if true, the label starts displayed, else it starts hidden
fontSize	size of the font to use
fontColor	HTML-like color spec, e.g. "#ffff00" for yellow
side	where the label appears in relation to object: "N" = above object on screen "S" = below object on screen "E" = to the right of the object on screen "W" = to the left of the object on screen "NE", "NW", "SE", "SW" work too.

Returns: a unique ID which can be used to refer to the label. returns -1 if the label could not be created (e.g. object not found)

Parameters

autoDelete	the label will be automatically deleted after it is displayed once
autoDeleteTimeoutMs	if not zero, the label will be automatically deleted after autoDeleteTimeoutMs ms

◆ labelScreen

int LabelMgr::labelScreen	(	const QString &	text,
		int	x,
		int	y,
		bool	visible = `true`,
		float	fontSize = `14`,
		const QString &	fontColor = `"#999999"`,
		bool	autoDelete = `false`,
		int	autoDeleteTimeoutMs = `0`
	)

slot

Parameters

text	the text to display
x	the horizontal position on the screen, in pixels, from the left of the screen
y	the vertical position on the screen, in pixels, from the top of the screen
visible	if true, the label starts displayed, else it starts hidden
fontSize	size of the font to use
fontColor	HTML-like color spec, e.g. "#ffff00" for yellow
autoDelete	the label will be automatically deleted after it is displayed once
autoDeleteTimeoutMs	if not zero, the label will be automatically deleted after autoDeleteTimeoutMs ms
