VO SpaceProjection

Set a Sensor's space projection distance.

Syntax

VO <SensorObjectPath> SpaceProjection {Options}

Description

Use the VO SpaceProjection to set distance values to be used for space projection. Each distance value has an associated time and that distance is used when the animation time is equal to or after the time for that distance until another time-distance pair becomes valid. If no time-distance pair is valid (the time would be before the first time-distance pair), the default value (set by the Distance {Option}) is used.

The following table describes the {Options}

{Option}Description
Distance <Value>Enter a default distance value to be used if no valid time-distance pair is found. <Value> is entered in Connect distance units and must be greater or equal to 0.0.
UseTimeDist {On | Off}If UseTimeDist is Off, the normal space projection distance is used. If UseTimeDist is On, and time-distance values exist, the space projection distance is based on the current animation time and the time-distance values.
AddTimeDistList "<DateTime>" <DistanceValue>Add a time-distance value pair. "<DateTime>" is entered in Connect date units.
ModifyTimeDistList "<DateTime>" <DistanceValue>Modify a time-distance value pair. "<DateTime>" is entered in Connect date units.
RemoveTimeDistList "<DateTime>"Remove the specified time-distance value pair. "<DateTime>" is entered in Connect date units.
ClearTimeDistListRemove all time-distance value pairs.

Examples

Set the default space projection distance to 10000000 meters:

VO */Facility/Facility1/Sensor/Sensor1 SpaceProjection Distance 10000000

Set the sensor to use the time-distance values:

VO */Facility/Facility1/Sensor/Sensor1 SpaceProjection UseTimeDist On

Add a space projection time-distance value:

VO */Facility/Facility1/Sensor/Sensor1 SpaceProjection AddTimeDistList "1 Jul 2006 12:00:00" 5000
