Member Function Documentation

configureGui()

virtual bool RemoteSync::configureGui ( bool  show = true )

virtual

This is to be used with plugins to display a configuration dialog from the plugin list window.

Parameters

show	if true, make the configuration GUI visible. If false, hide the config GUI if there is one.

Returns

true if the module has a configuration GUI, else false.

Reimplemented from StelModule.

connectToServer

void RemoteSync::connectToServer ( )

slot

If currently in a state other than IDLE or CLIENT_WAIT_RECONNECT, this call has no effect.

disconnectFromServer

void RemoteSync::disconnectFromServer ( )

slot

Only has an effect in the CLIENT state.

getCallOrder()

virtual double RemoteSync::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.

init()

virtual void RemoteSync::init ( )

virtual

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

Implements StelModule.

loadSettings

void RemoteSync::loadSettings ( )

slot

Settings are kept in the "RemoteSync" section in Stellarium's configuration file. If no such section exists, it will load default values.

See also

saveSettings(), restoreSettings()

restoreDefaultSettings

void RemoteSync::restoreDefaultSettings ( )

slot

Replace the plug-in's settings in Stellarium's configuration file with the default values and re-load them. Uses internally loadSettings() and saveSettings().

saveSettings

void RemoteSync::saveSettings ( )

slot

See also

loadSettings(), restoreSettings()

startServer

void RemoteSync::startServer ( )

slot

If currently in a state other than IDLE, this call has no effect.

stopServer

void RemoteSync::stopServer ( )

slot

Only has an effect in the SERVER state.

update()

virtual void RemoteSync::update ( double  deltaTime )

virtual

Parameters

deltaTime

the time increment in second since last call.

Implements StelModule.
