Member Function Documentation

getCallOrder()

virtual double ZodiacalLight::getCallOrder ( StelModuleActionName  actionName ) const

virtual

MilkyWay=1, TOAST=7, we use 8. Other actions return 0 for "nothing special".

Reimplemented from StelModule.

init()

virtual void ZodiacalLight::init ( )

virtual

Here we load the texture for the Zodiacal Light and get the display settings from application settings, namely the flag which determines if the Zodiacal Light is displayed or not, and the intensity setting.

Implements StelModule.

setColor

void ZodiacalLight::setColor ( const Vec3f &  c )

inlineslot

Parameters

c	The color to use for rendering the Zodiacal Light. Default (1.0, 1.0, 1.0). // example of usage in scripts ZodiacalLight.setColor(Vec3f(1.0,0.0,0.0));

setFlagShow

void ZodiacalLight::setFlagShow ( bool  b )

slot

// example of usage in scripts
ZodiacalLight.setFlagShow(true);

setIntensity

void ZodiacalLight::setIntensity ( double  aintensity )

inlineslot

Default value: 1.

Parameters

aintensity

intensity of Zodiacal Light

update()

virtual void ZodiacalLight::update ( double  deltaTime )

virtual

Updates the fade level while the Zodiacal Light rendering is being changed from on to off or off to on.

Implements StelModule.
