Member Function Documentation

◆ draw()

virtual void Observability::draw ( StelCore * core )

virtual

Parameters

core	the core to use for the drawing

Reimplemented from StelModule.

◆ enableFullMoonField

void Observability::enableFullMoonField ( bool enabled = true )

slot

Has any effect only if the Moon is selected.

◆ getCallOrder()

virtual double Observability::getCallOrder ( StelModuleActionName actionName ) const

virtual

Parameters

actionName the name of the action for which we want the call order

Returns: the value defining the order. The closer to 0 the earlier the module's action will be called

Reimplemented from StelModule.

◆ getTwilightAltitude()

int Observability::getTwilightAltitude ( )

Returns: A value in degrees.

◆ init()

virtual void Observability::init ( )

virtual

If the initialization takes significant time, the progress should be displayed on the loading bar.

Implements StelModule.

◆ loadConfiguration()

void Observability::loadConfiguration ( )

Default values are provided for all settings. Called in init() and resetConfiguration().

◆ setFontColor

void Observability::setFontColor ( const Vec3f & color )

slot

Applies only to what is drawn on the viewport.

Parameters

color Color vector in Stellarium's RGB format.

◆ setFontSize

void Observability::setFontSize ( int size )

slot

Applies only to what is drawn on the viewport.

◆ setHorizonAltitude

void Observability::setHorizonAltitude ( int altitude )

slot

Parameters

altitude An angle in degrees.

◆ setTwilightAltitude

void Observability::setTwilightAltitude ( int altitude )

slot

This determines the boundaries of day/night for observation purposes.

Parameters

altitude An angle in degrees; as this is altitude below the horizon, it should be negative.

Note: If you want the slider in the configuration dialog to be inverted, you can use the invertedAppearance property of QSlider.

◆ update()

virtual void Observability::update ( double deltaTime )

inlinevirtual

Parameters

deltaTime the time increment in second since last call.

Implements StelModule.
