Detailed Description

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

Member Function Documentation

◆ deleteAllMarkers

int MarkerMgr::deleteAllMarkers ( void )

slot

Returns: the number of markers deleted

◆ deleteMarker

void MarkerMgr::deleteMarker ( int id )

slot

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

◆ markerEquatorial

int MarkerMgr::markerEquatorial	(	const QString &	RA,
		const QString &	Dec,
		bool	j2000epoch = `true`,
		bool	visible = `true`,
		const QString &	mtype = `"cross"`,
		const QString &	color = `"#ffff66"`,
		const float	size = `6.f`,
		bool	autoDelete = `false`,
		int	autoDeleteTimeoutMs = `0`
	)

slot

Parameters

RA	right ascension (e.g. 5h10m31s)
Dec	declination (e.g. 25d30m30s)
j2000epoch	if true, the marker starts displayed in equatorial coordinates for epoch J2000.0
visible	if true, the marker starts displayed, else it starts hidden
mtype	the type of marker. Keys: cross: simple cross circle: simple circle ellipse: simple horizontal ellipse square: simple square dotted-circle: simple circle drawn by dots circled-cross (or circled-plus): simple circle with cross inside the circle dashed-square: simple square, drawing by dashed line squared-dotted-circle (or squared-dcircle): simple circle, drawing by dotted line crossed-circle: the cross under circle target: the target shape gear: the gear shape disk: the disk shape
color	HTML-like color spec, e.g. "#ffff00" for yellow
size	the size of marker.
autoDelete	the marker will be automatically deleted after it is displayed once
autoDeleteTimeoutMs	if not zero, the marker will be automatically deleted after autoDeleteTimeoutMs ms

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

◆ markerHorizon

size	the size of marker.
autoDelete	the marker will be automatically deleted after it is displayed once
autoDeleteTimeoutMs	if not zero, the marker will be automatically deleted after autoDeleteTimeoutMs ms

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