Detailed Description

Don't use this class directly, use the LandscapeMgr. A landscape's most important element is a photo panorama, or at least a polygon that describes the true horizon visible from your observing location. Optional components include:

We discern:

Parameters
LandscapeIdThe directory name of the landscape.
nameThe landscape name as specified in the LandscapeIni (may contain spaces, translatable, UTF8, ...)

Member Function Documentation

◆ createPolygonalHorizon()

void Landscape::createPolygonalHorizon ( const QString &  lineFileName,
const float  polyAngleRotateZ = 0.0f,
const QString &  listMode = "azDeg_altDeg",
const bool  polygonInverted = false 
)
protected

If present, this can be used to draw a horizon line or simplify the functionality to discern if an object is below the horizon.

Parameters
lineFileNameA text file with lines that are either empty or comment lines starting with # or azimuth altitude [degrees]
polyAngleRotateZpossibility to set some final calibration offset like meridian convergence correction.
listModekeys which indicate angular units for the angles
polygonInvertedMust be true to use horizons which are on average below mathematical horizon (Solution for bug LP:1554639)

◆ getDefaultAtmosphericPressure()

double Landscape::getDefaultAtmosphericPressure ( ) const
inline

returns -1 to signal "standard conditions" [compute from altitude], or -2 for "unknown/invalid/no change"

◆ getMemorySize()

virtual unsigned int Landscape::getMemorySize ( ) const
inlinevirtual

However, texture image sizes must be computed in subclasses. The value returned is a sum of RAM and texture memory requirements.

Reimplemented in LandscapeSpherical, LandscapeFisheye, LandscapePolygonal, and LandscapeOldStyle.

◆ getOpacity()

virtual float Landscape::getOpacity ( Vec3d  azalt) const
inlinevirtual

(New in V0.13 series) can be used to find sunrise or visibility questions on the real-world landscape horizon. Default implementation indicates the horizon equals math horizon.

Reimplemented in LandscapeSpherical, LandscapeFisheye, LandscapePolygonal, and LandscapeOldStyle.

◆ getTexturePath()

static const QString Landscape::getTexturePath ( const QString &  basename,
const QString &  landscapeId 
)
staticprotected
Parameters
basenameThe name of a texture file, e.g. "fog.png"
landscapeIdThe landscape ID (directory name) to which the texture belongs
Exceptions
miscpossibility of throwing "file not found" exceptions

◆ load()

virtual void Landscape::load ( const QSettings &  landscapeIni,
const QString &  landscapeId 
)
pure virtual
Parameters
landscapeIniA reference to an existing QSettings object which describes the landscape
landscapeIdThe name of the directory for the landscape files (e.g. "ocean")

Implemented in LandscapeSpherical, LandscapeFisheye, LandscapePolygonal, and LandscapeOldStyle.

◆ loadCommon()

void Landscape::loadCommon ( const QSettings &  landscapeIni,
const QString &  landscapeId 
)
protected
Parameters
landscapeIniA reference to an existing QSettings object which describes the landscape
landscapeIdThe name of the directory for the landscape files (e.g. "ocean")

◆ setBrightness()

void Landscape::setBrightness ( const double  b,
const double  pollutionBrightness = 0.0 
)
inline

This is called in each draw().

◆ setZRotation()

void Landscape::setZRotation ( float  d)
inline

This is intended for special uses such as when the landscape consists of a vehicle which might change orientation over time (e.g. a ship). It is called e.g. by the LandscapeMgr. Contrary to that, the purpose of the azimuth rotation (landscape/[decor_]angle_rotatez) in landscape.ini is to orient the pano.

Parameters
dthe rotation angle in degrees.

Field Documentation

◆ horizonPolygonLineColor

Vec3f Landscape::horizonPolygonLineColor
protected

Data shall be read from the file given as landscape.ini[landscape]polygonal_horizon_list For LandscapePolygonal, this is the only horizon data item.

◆ landscapeLabels

QList<LandscapeLabel> Landscape::landscapeLabels
protected

specified in landscape.ini[landscape]horizon_line_color. Negative red (default) indicated "don't draw".

◆ sinMinAltitudeLimit

double Landscape::sinMinAltitudeLimit
protected

Not in landscape.ini: Used in special cases where the horizon may rotate, e.g. on a ship.
