The Navigational Stars plugin marks the 58 navigational stars of The Nautical Almanac and the 2102-D Rude Star Finder on the sky. Alternatively, the French, German, and Russian selection of navigational stars are also available. More...

Detailed Description

The Navigational Stars plugin marks a set of navigational stars.

The NavStars class is the main class of the plug-in. It manages the list of navigational stars and manipulate show/hide markers of them. Markers are not objects!

The plugin is also an example of a custom plugin that just marks existing stars.

Configuration

The plug-ins' configuration data is stored in Stellarium's main configuration file (section [NavigationalStars]).

Member Function Documentation

◆ addExtraInfo

void NavStars::addExtraInfo ( StelCore * core )

slot

Adds StelObject::ExtraInfo for selected object.

◆ configureGui()

virtual bool NavStars::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 NavStars::deinit ( )

virtual

Deinitialize all OpenGL texture in this method.

Reimplemented from StelModule.

virtual void NavStars::draw ( StelCore * core )

virtual

Parameters

core	the core to use for the drawing

Reimplemented from StelModule.

◆ getCallOrder()

virtual double NavStars::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 NavStars::init ( )

virtual

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

Implements StelModule.

◆ loadConfiguration()

void NavStars::loadConfiguration ( void )

This will be called from init and also when restoring defaults (i.e. from the configuration dialog / restore defaults button).

◆ oneRowTwoCells

QString NavStars::oneRowTwoCells	(	const QString &	a,
		const QString &	b,
		const QString &	extra,
		bool	tabulatedView
	)

slot

Parameters

QString	a The cell left value
QString	b The cell right value

Returns: QString The representation of the extraString info.

◆ restoreDefaultConfiguration()

void NavStars::restoreDefaultConfiguration ( void )

This means clearing out the NavigationalStars section in the main config.ini (if one already exists), and populating it with default values.

◆ update()

virtual void NavStars::update ( double deltaTime )

virtual

Parameters

deltaTime the time increment in second since last call.

Reimplemented from StelModule.
