Detailed Description

Manages all the rendering at the level of the observer's surroundings.

This includes landscape textures, fog, atmosphere and cardinal points. I decided to put all these elements together in a single class because they are inherently linked, especially when we start moving the observer in altitude.

Note: The Bortle scale index setting was removed from this class, because it was duplicated from StelSkyDrawer, complicating code that changes it. It is now only in StelSkyDrawer and can be accessed with getBortleScaleIndex and setBortleScaleIndex . Slots setAtmosphereBortleLightPollution and getAtmosphereBortleLightPollution in this class have been removed/made private. If script access is desired, use StelMainScriptAPI::get /setBortleScaleIndex

Member Function Documentation

◆ createFromFile()

Landscape* LandscapeMgr::createFromFile	(	const QString &	landscapeFile,
		const QString &	landscapeId
	)

Create a new landscape from the files which describe it.

Reads a landscape.ini file which is passed as the first parameter, determines the landscape type, and creates a new object for the landscape of the proper type. The load member is then called, passing both parameters.

Parameters

landscapeFile	This is the path to a landscape.ini file.
landscapeId	This is the landscape ID, which is also the name of the directory in which the files (textures and so on) for the landscape reside.

Returns: A pointer to the newly created landscape object.

◆ currentLandscapeChanged

void LandscapeMgr::currentLandscapeChanged	(	QString	currentLandscapeID,
		QString	currentLandscapeName
	)

signal

Emitted when the current landscape was changed.

Parameters

currentLandscapeID	the ID of the new landscape
currentLandscapeName	the name of the new landscape

void LandscapeMgr::defaultLandscapeChanged ( const QString & id )

signal

Emitted whenever the default landscape is changed.

Parameters

id	the landscape id of the new default landscape

◆ drawPolylineOnly()

void LandscapeMgr::drawPolylineOnly ( StelCore * core )

Draw landscape graphics and cardinal points.

This only will redraw a polygonal line (if defined), the gazetteer and the Cardinal points. This can be called outside the usual call order, if any foreground has to be overdrawn, e.g. 3D sceneries.

◆ errorNotArchive

void LandscapeMgr::errorNotArchive ( )

signal

Emitted when the file passed to installLandscapeFromArchive() is not a ZIP archive or does not contain a valid landscape.

(A way of moving the need for translatable error messages to the GUI.)

◆ errorNotUnique

void LandscapeMgr::errorNotUnique ( QString nameOrID )

signal

Emitted when installLandscapeFromArchive() tries to install a landscape with the same name or identifier as an already installed one.

(A way of moving the need for translatable error messages to the GUI.)

Parameters

nameOrID the name or the identifier of the landscape

◆ errorRemoveManually

void LandscapeMgr::errorRemoveManually ( QString path )

signal

Emitted when removeLandscape() is unable to remove all the files of a landscape.

(A way of moving the need for translatable error messages to the GUI.)

Parameters

path	the path to the landscape's directory

◆ errorUnableToOpen

void LandscapeMgr::errorUnableToOpen ( QString path )

signal

Emitted when installLandscapeFromArchive() can't read from, write to or create a file or a directory.

(A way of moving the need for translatable error messages to the GUI.)

Parameters

path	path to the file or directory

◆ getAllLandscapeIDs

QStringList LandscapeMgr::getAllLandscapeIDs ( ) const

slot

Retrieve a list of the identifiers of all the available landscapes in the file search path sub-directories of the landscape area.

Returns: the identifiers of the landscapes, which are the names of the directories containing the landscapes' files

◆ getAllLandscapeNames

QStringList LandscapeMgr::getAllLandscapeNames ( ) const

slot

Retrieve a list of the names of all the available landscapes in the file search path sub-directories of the landscape area.

Returns: the names of the landscapes, which are the values of the name parameter in the landscape.ini files

◆ getCurrentLandscapeBrightness

float LandscapeMgr::getCurrentLandscapeBrightness ( const bool light = false ) const

inlineslot

Get the current landscape or lightscape brightness (0..1)

Parameters

light true to retrieve the light layer brightness value.

Parameters

azalt direction of view line to sample in azaltimuth coordinates.

◆ getLuminance

float LandscapeMgr::getLuminance ( ) const

slot

Return the global landscape luminance [0..1], for being used e.g for setting eye adaptation.

It returns 1 if atmosphere drawing is on and no eclipse underway, 0 if atmosphere is switched off. The actual brightness is of no concern here. You may use getAtmosphereAverageLuminance() for this.

◆ getUserLandscapeIDs

QStringList LandscapeMgr::getUserLandscapeIDs ( ) const

slot

Retrieve a list of the identifiers of all user-installed landscapes.

Effectively, this returns the results of getAllLandscapeIDs() without the landscapes specified in the #packagedLandscapeIDs list.

◆ init()

void LandscapeMgr::init ( )

overridevirtual

Initialize the LandscapeManager class.

Operations performed:

Load the default landscape as specified in the application configuration
Set up landscape-related display flags from ini parser object

Implements StelModule.

◆ installLandscapeFromArchive

QString LandscapeMgr::installLandscapeFromArchive	(	QString	pathToSourceArchive,
		const bool	display = `false`,
		const bool	forAllUsers = `false`
	)

slot

Install a landscape from a ZIP archive.

This function searches for a file named "landscape.ini" in the root directory of the archive. If it is not found there, the function searches inside the topmost sub-directories (if any), but no deeper. If a landscape configuration file is found:

if a "landscapes" directory does not exist in the user data directory, it is created;
inside it, a sub-directory is created with the landscape identifier for a name;
all files in the archive directory that contains the "landscape.ini" file are extracted to the new sub-directory of "landscapes";
all sub-directories of that archive directory will be skipped along with any other files or directories in the archive.

The landscape identifier is either:

the name of the folder in the archive that contains "landscape.ini",
or the first 65 (or less) characters of the archive name, if the "landscape.ini" file is in the nameless root directory of the archive.

The landscape identifier must be unique.

Parameters

pathToSourceArchive	path to the source archive file.
display	If true, the landscape will be set to be the current landscape after installation.
forAllUsers	If true, this function will try to install the landscape in a way that meakes it is available to all users of this computer. May require running Stellarium as an administrator (root) on some Windows or *nix systems. (NOT IMPLEMENTED!)

Returns: the installed landscape's identifier, or an empty string on failure.

◆ landscapesChanged

void LandscapeMgr::landscapesChanged ( )

signal

Emitted when a landscape has been installed or un-installed.

For example, it is used to update the list of landscapes in the Sky and viewing options window (the ViewDialog class)

◆ loadLandscapeName

QString LandscapeMgr::loadLandscapeName ( const QString landscapeID )

slot

This function reads a landscape's name from its configuration file.

Parameters

landscapeID an installed landscape's identifier (the folder name)

Returns: an empty string if there is no such landscape or some other error occurs

◆ loadLandscapeSize

quint64 LandscapeMgr::loadLandscapeSize ( const QString landscapeID ) const

slot

This function calculates and returns a landscape's disc size in bytes.

It adds up the sizes of all files in the landscape's folder. It assumes that there are no sub-directories. (There shouldn't be any anyway.)

Parameters

landscapeID an installed landscape's identifier (the folder name)

◆ precacheLandscape

bool LandscapeMgr::precacheLandscape	(	const QString &	id,
		const bool	replace = `true`
	)

slot

Preload a landscape into cache.

Parameters

id	the ID of a landscape
replace	true if existing landscape entry should be replaced (useful during development to reload after edit)

Returns: false if landscape could not be found, or if it already existed in cache and replace was false.

◆ removeCachedLandscape

bool LandscapeMgr::removeCachedLandscape ( const QString & id )

slot

Remove a landscape from the cache of landscapes.

Parameters

id	the ID of a landscape

Returns: false if landscape could not be found

◆ removeLandscape

bool LandscapeMgr::removeLandscape ( const QString landscapeID )

slot

This function removes a landscape from the user data directory.

It tries to recursively delete all files in the landscape directory and then remove it from the list of available landscapes. If the function encounters any file that can't be deleted it aborts the operation (previously deleted files are not restored). Landscapes that were packaged with Stellarium can't be removed, thanks to the #packagedLandscapeIDs list.

Parameters

landscapeID an installed landscape's identifier (the folder name)

◆ setAtmosphereAverageLuminance

void LandscapeMgr::setAtmosphereAverageLuminance ( const float overrideLuminance )

slot

Override autocomputed value and set average luminance [cd/m^2] of atmosphere.

This is around 10 at sunset, 6400 in daylight, >0 in dark night. Usually there is no need to call this, the luminance is properly computed. This is a function which can be useful in rare cases, e.g. in scripts when you want to create images of adjacent sky regions with the same brightness setting, or for creation of a virtual camera which can deliberately show over- or underexposure. For these cases, it is advisable to first center the brightest luminary (sun or moon), call getAtmosphereAverageLuminance() and then set this value explicitly to freeze it during image export. To unfreeze, call this again with any negative value.

◆ setCacheSize

void LandscapeMgr::setCacheSize ( int mb )

inlineslot

Set size of the landscape cache, in MB.

Default size is 100MB, or configured as [landscape/cache_size_mb] from config.ini. The landscape sizes returned in Landscape::getMemorySize() are only approximate, but include image and texture sizes. A big landscape may well take 150MB or more. On a 32bit system, keep this rather small. On 64bit with 16GB RAM and no other tasks, 4GB is no problem. Modern GPUs may have 4 or even 8GB of dedicated texture memory. Most of this may be filled with landscape textures. Example: a museum installation with 20 large (16384x2048) old_style landscapes can require up to 3.5GB. Allow 4GB cache, and the system will never have to load a landscape during the show when all have been preloaded.

◆ setCurrentLandscapeID

bool LandscapeMgr::setCurrentLandscapeID	(	const QString &	id,
		const double	changeLocationDuration = `1.0`
	)

slot

Change the current landscape to the landscape with the ID specified.

Emits currentLandscapeChanged() if the landscape changed (true returned)

Parameters

id	the ID of the new landscape
changeLocationDuration	the duration of the transition animation

Returns: false if the new landscape could not be set (e.g. no landscape of that ID was found).

◆ setCurrentLandscapeName

bool LandscapeMgr::setCurrentLandscapeName	(	const QString &	name,
		const double	changeLocationDuration = `1.0`
	)

slot

Change the current landscape to the landscape with the name specified.

Emits currentLandscapeChanged() if the landscape changed (true returned)

Parameters

name	the name of the new landscape, as found in the landscape:name key of the landscape.ini file.
changeLocationDuration	the duration of the transition animation

◆ setDefaultLandscapeID

bool LandscapeMgr::setDefaultLandscapeID ( const QString & id )

slot

Change the default landscape to the landscape with the ID specified.

Parameters

id	the ID of the landscape to use by default

Returns: false if the new landscape could not be set (e.g. no landscape of that ID was found). True on success.

◆ setZRotation

void LandscapeMgr::setZRotation ( const float d )

slot

Set the rotation of the landscape about the z-axis.

This is intended for special uses such as when the landscape consists of a vehicle which might change orientation over time (e.g. a ship).

Parameters

d	the rotation angle in degrees as an offset from the originally loaded value.

◆ update()

void LandscapeMgr::update ( double deltaTime )

overridevirtual

Update time-dependent state.

Includes:

Landscape, atmosphere and cardinal point on/off fading.
Atmophere colour calculation based on location, position of sun and moon.
