Detailed Description

3D foreground renderer. Walk around, find and avoid obstructions in your garden, find and demonstrate possible astronomical alignments in temples, see shadows on sundials etc.

To move around, press Ctrl+cursor keys. To lift eye height, use Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn. Movement speed is linked to field of view (i.e. zoom in for fine adjustments). You can even keep moving by releasing Ctrl before cursor key.

Development of this plugin was in parts supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project ASTROSIM (P 21208-G19). More: http://astrosim.univie.ac.at/

◆ configureGui()

virtual bool Scenery3d::configureGui ( bool show )

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.

◆ deinit()

virtual void Scenery3d::deinit ( )

virtual

Deinitialize all openGL texture in this method.

Reimplemented from StelModule.

◆ draw()

virtual void Scenery3d::draw ( StelCore * core )

virtual

Parameters

core	the core to use for the drawing

Reimplemented from StelModule.

◆ getCallOrder()

virtual double Scenery3d::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.

◆ getCurrentScene

SceneInfo Scenery3d::getCurrentScene ( ) const

slot

Check SceneInfo::isValid to determine if a scene is displayed.

◆ getCurrentView

StoredView Scenery3d::getCurrentView ( )

slot

Label and description are empty.

◆ getLoadingScene

SceneInfo Scenery3d::getLoadingScene ( ) const

inlineslot

Check SceneInfo::isValid to determine if a scene is loaded.

◆ handleKeys()

virtual void Scenery3d::handleKeys ( QKeyEvent * e )

virtual

Pressing Ctrl-Alt: 5x, Ctrl-Shift: 10x speedup; Ctrl-Shift-Alt: 50x! To allow fine control, zoom in. If you release Ctrl key while pressing cursor key, movement will continue.

Reimplemented from StelModule.

◆ init()

virtual void Scenery3d::init ( )

virtual

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

Implements StelModule.

◆ loadScenery3dByID

SceneInfo Scenery3d::loadScenery3dByID ( const QString & id )

slot

This is asynchronous, this method returns after metadata loading.

Parameters

id	a valid scene id/folder path

Returns: The loaded SceneInfo. Check SceneInfo::isValid to make sure loading was successful.

◆ loadScenery3dByName

SceneInfo Scenery3d::loadScenery3dByName ( const QString & name )

slot

This is asynchronous, this method returns after metadata loading.

Parameters

name	a valid scene name

Returns: The loaded SceneInfo. Check SceneInfo::isValid to make sure loading was successful.

◆ relativeMove

void Scenery3d::relativeMove ( const Vec3d & move )

slot

The values should usually be given pre-adjusted with the delta time. Does nothing if no scene is currently loaded.

The first component specifies movement in the "right" direction, the second component in the "forward" directon, and the last value is used to adjust the height offset of the viewer (he is still positioned according to the heightmap).

◆ setCubemapSize

void Scenery3d::setCubemapSize ( const uint val )

slot

For best compatibility and performance, this should be a power of 2.

◆ setEnableBumps

void Scenery3d::setEnableBumps ( const bool enableBumps )

slot

If set to true, bump mapping is enabled for the 3D scene.

◆ setEnableShadows

void Scenery3d::setEnableShadows ( const bool enableShadows )

slot

If set to true, shadow mapping is enabled for the 3D scene.

◆ setForceHorizonPolyline

void Scenery3d::setForceHorizonPolyline ( const bool forcePolyline )

slot

This shows the difference (error) between our planar (tangential plane) modelling and effects of earth curvature. The landscape has to include such a polygon, of course.

◆ setShadowmapSize

void Scenery3d::setShadowmapSize ( const uint val )

slot

For best compatibility and performance, this should be a power of 2.

◆ update()

virtual void Scenery3d::update ( double deltaTime )

virtual

Parameters

deltaTime the time increment in second since last call.

Implements StelModule.
