Classes

	Class	Description
	AltitudeDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive altitude interval, in meters, that determines when an object is rendered based on the camera's altitude relative to a CentralBody.
	AxesPrimitive	Renders an axes in the 3D scene.
	Balloon	Each 3D scene has a balloon view which can display HTML content directly. The balloon is associated with a Cartographic or screen space coordinate, and an indicator attached to the the balloon will stay fixed to that coordinate. The balloon content will resize and position itself such that it is clear what the indicator is pointing to. The balloon is useful for displaying rich content that is associated with a particular Cartographic or screen space coordinate.
	BalloonNavigatingEventArgs	The EventArgs passed to the Balloon Navigating event.
	BatchPrimitiveIndex	Represents an individual item index that is associated with a batch primitive. Provides the Index of the individual item and the Primitive that contains that index. When the PerItemPickingEnabled property is set to for a batch primitive, the PickResults returned from Scene.Pick will contain BatchPrimitiveIndex types referencing particular indices within that batch.
	BingMapsForEnterpriseImageGlobeOverlay	A CustomImageGlobeOverlay that uses data from a Bing Maps For Enterprise server.
	Camera	Implemented by the scene camera. Contains operations to manipulate the camera position, view direction and orientation in the scene.
	CentralBodyGraphics	The graphical properties associated with a particular CentralBody. Changing the CentralBodyGraphics will affect how the associated CentralBody is rendered in a Scene. For instance, to show or hide the CentralBody, use the Show property. CentralBodyGraphics also contains the Terrain and Imagery for the associated CentralBody.
	Clouds	Load, show and hide clouds in the scene.
	CompositeDisplayCondition	A composite of display conditions combined using a BinaryLogicOperation. For example, several TimeIntervalDisplayCondition objects can be added to a composite. The composite can then be assigned to an object so the object is only rendered when the current animation time is within one of the time intervals.
	CompositePrimitive	A primitive that is composed of multiple other primitives. Since composites can contain other composites, they are commonly used to build hierarchies of primitives to efficiently evaluate display conditions. Primitives in a composite must have the same ReferenceFrame.
	ConstantDisplayCondition	A display condition that evaluates to a user-defined value. This is commonly used to hide primitives by assigning to a primitive a display condition that always returns false.
	CouldNotCreateVideoCardResourceException	The exception that is thrown when a video card resource cannot be created.
	DisplayCondition	When assigned to objects, such as primitives or globe overlays, display conditions are evaluated to determine if the object should be rendered.
	DistanceDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive distance interval, in meters, that determines when an object, such as a primitive, is rendered based on the distance, in meters, from the camera to the object.
	DistanceToGlobeOverlayDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive distance interval, in meters, that determines when an object, such as a primitive, is rendered based on the distance, in meters, from the camera to the GlobeOverlay. This is different from DistanceDisplayCondition because it is based on the camera's distance to a specified GlobeOverlay, rather than the camera's distance to the object that uses this display condition.
	DistanceToPositionDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive distance interval, in meters, that determines when an object, such as a primitive, is rendered based on the distance, in meters, from the camera to a position defined in the given ReferenceFrame.
	DistanceToPrimitiveDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive distance interval, in meters, that determines when an object, such as a screen overlay, is rendered based on the distance, in meters, from the camera to the Primitive. This is different from DistanceDisplayCondition because it is based on the camera's distance to a specified Primitive, rather than the camera's distance to the object that uses this display condition.
	DurationPathPrimitiveUpdatePolicy	PathPrimitive update policy that removes points from RemoveLocation after a given Duration.
	FrameRate	Keeps track of how many times the Scenes are rendered per second.
	GeospatialInformationIsMissingException	The exception that is thrown when a object is missing geospatial information.
	GlobeImageOverlay	A GlobeOverlay that shows an image.
	GlobeImageOverlayAddCompleteEventArgs	The EventArgs passed to the AddComplete event.
	GraphicsFont	A font that is suitable for use with the TextBatchPrimitive. For best performance, avoid creating duplicate font objects. Instead assign the same font object to several text batch primitives.
	GreatArcInterpolator	The great arc interpolator computes interpolated positions along a great arc. A great arc is the shortest path between two positions on an ellipsoid.
	ImageCollection	A collection of GlobeImageOverlay objects.
	Insight3D	A .NET UserControl that holds and renders an Insight3D scene, which is available from the Scene property. To render the Scene, call the Scene.Render method. The static SceneManager class provides functionality that affects all scenes. The control also provides MouseOptions for automatic handling of mouse input for controlling the scene's Camera, and DragDropOptions for automatic handling of files that are dropped onto the Insight3D control.
	InsufficientVideoCardException	The exception that is thrown when the video card or driver does not support a particular feature.
	KmlContainer	A KmlContainer contains a collection of children KmlFeatures.
	KmlDocument	A KML document.
	KmlDocumentLoadedEventArgs	The EventArgs passed to the DocumentLoaded event.
	KmlFeature	A KML feature.
	KmlFolder	A KML folder.
	KmlGraphics	Provides loading and unloading of KmlDocuments for a particular CentralBody.
	KmlNetworkLink	A KML network link.
	MarkerBatchPrimitive	Renders one or more markers in the 3D scene. Markers are 2D images that always face the viewer which can be sized in pixels or meters. Markers are also referred to as sprites or billboards. For best performance, avoid creating lots of batches with only a few markers each. See the Batching Performance topic.
	MarkerBatchPrimitiveOptionalParameters	Optional per-marker parameters for MarkerBatchPrimitive that overrides the marker batch's per-batch parameters. Define per-marker parameters by creating an instance of MarkerBatchPrimitiveOptionalParameters, then calling the desired methods to define per-marker parameters, and finally passing the object to the marker batch's Set or SetPartial method.
	MaximumCountPathPrimitiveUpdatePolicy	PathPrimitive update policy that removes points from RemoveLocation when the number of points in the path exceeds MaximumCount.
	ModelArticulation	A ModelArticulation identifies geometry on the model and is a collection of transformations that can be applied to that geometry.
	ModelArticulationCollection	A collection containing a ModelPrimitive's available articulations. A ModelArticulation identifies geometry on the model and is a collection of transformations that can be applied to that geometry.
	ModelPrimitive	The model primitive loads and renders glTF 2.0 (.gltf, .glb), COLLADA (DAE) and AGI MDL (MDL) models.
	ModelTransformation	A ModelTransformation defines a transformation that is applied to geometry on a ModelPrimitive. That geometry is identified by the ModelArticulation which contains the transformation. Changing the CurrentValue property of the transformation will also change the geometry associated with its articulation. The type of transformation that will be applied is indicated by the Type property.
	NetworkContext	Allows a custom delegate to be installed which will be called with every network request made by Insight3D. This delegate can inspect the request and selectively configure the request before it is made. For instance, you can set a proxy, set credentials, or configure certificate policies.
	OpenStreetMapImageGlobeOverlay	A CustomImageGlobeOverlay that uses data from an OpenStreetMap server.
	OrderedCompositePrimitive	A primitive composed of other primitives with a well defined render order. The ordered composite is intended to contain overlapping primitives rendered on the globe's surface. Which primitives are on top of which primitives is defined by the position of the primitive in the composite, which can be controlled with Add(Primitive), BringToFront(Primitive), BringForward(Primitive), SendBackward(Primitive), and SendToBack(Primitive). The ordered composite is compatible with the following primitives: SurfaceMeshPrimitive TriangleMeshPrimitive PolylinePrimitive PointBatchPrimitive MarkerBatchPrimitive TextBatchPrimitive OrderedCompositePrimitive It is not intended for use with: ModelPrimitive, SolidPrimitive, or CompositePrimitive. Primitives in a composite must have the same ReferenceFrame.
	Overlay	A visible element drawn in screen space. Overlays are useful for floating logos, heads up displays, and integrating user interfaces into the 3D window.

	PathPointBuilder	A mutable point used to build immutable PathPoint objects.
	PathPrimitive	Renders a line to the 3D scene. Similar to the PolylinePrimitive; however, the PathPrimitive was designed for the efficient addition/removal of points to/from the front or back of the line.
	PickResult	A single result from Scene.Pick.
	PixelSizeDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive interval, in pixels, that determines when an object, such as a primitive, is rendered based on the number of pixels the object's bounding sphere (or in the case of screen overlays, bounding rectangle) covers on the screen. This is commonly used to implement level of detail algorithms that take into account the field of view.
	PointBatchPrimitive	Renders one or more points in the 3D scene. Each point in the batch has a unique position and an optional color. All points in the batch share the same pixel size. For best performance, avoid creating lots of batches with only a few points each. See the Batching Performance topic.
	PolylinePrimitive	Renders a polyline in the 3D scene. Each line segment may have a different color. A polyline can be constructed with a PositionInterpolator to render great arcs or rhumb lines.
	PolylinePrimitiveOptionalParameters	Optional per-point or per-segment parameters for PolylinePrimitive that overrides the polyline primitive's global parameters. Define per-segment parameters by creating an instance of PolylinePrimitiveOptionalParameters, then calling the desired methods to define per-segment parameters, and finally passing the object to the polyline's Set or SetPartial method.
	PositionInterpolator	Position interpolators compute positions based on a collection of input positions. Position interpolators are used in conjunction with the PolylinePrimitive to render things such as great arcs and rhumb lines.
	Primitive	Primitives represent objects rendered in the 3D scene.
	PrimitiveFactory	Factory methods for creating PolylinePrimitives and TriangleMesh objects.
	PrimitiveManager	The primitive manager contains spatial data structures used to efficiently render primitives. Once a primitive is constructed, it must be added to the primitive manager before it will be rendered.
	ProjectedRaster	A Primitive which projects a Raster onto the terrain or surface of the CentralBody. The ProjectedRaster can also be used with RasterStream and ProjectionStream to stream video and other raster data to a projection that moves with time.
	RealTimeAnimation	Allows the user to animate in wall clock time. The time of the frame that is currently rendering is the same as the wall clock time. A TimeOffset can be applied to the time.
	RealTimeSimulationAnimation	Allows the user to animate at any time: past, present, or future. The time between each animation frame is based on wall clock time. If the last frame rendered one second ago in wall clock time, the current frame will render at a time equal to the previous frame's time plus one second. A TimeMultiplier can be adjusted to make the simulation time progress faster or slower than real time.
	RenderingEventArgs	The EventArgs passed to the rendering event.
	RhumbLineInterpolator	The rhumb line interpolator computes interpolated positions along a rhumb line. Rhumb lines are lines of constant bearing. They appear as straight lines on a Mercator 2D map projection and are well suited to navigation.
	Scene	A Scene provides properties and functionality that are reflected in the rendering of the Insight3D control that it is associated with. An Insight3D control's Scene is available from the Insight3D.Scene property. Any changes that are made to a Scene will only affect the rendering of the particular Insight3D control it is associated with. The static SceneManager class provides global properties and functionality that apply to all Scenes and thus affect the rendering of every Insight3D control. A Scene has a Camera, and various properties for changing the visual state of the scene and its CentralBodies, including changes to Lighting. To render a particular Scene, use the Render method. To render all Scenes, use use the SceneManager.Render method.
	SceneDisplayCondition	A display condition used to control what scene or scenes an object, such as a primitive, is rendered in. This is used to show an object in some scenes and hide it in others.
	SceneManager	The static SceneManager class provides global properties and functionality that apply to all Scenes and thus affect the rendering of every Insight3D control. It also provides a Textures property for creating new textures, and controls the Time of all Scenes within an application. The Animation property and SetTime(JulianDate) method can be used to control Time. The Primitives and ScreenOverlays properties allow you to add Primitives and ScreenOverlays to all Scenes. To render these objects in specific scenes, see the SceneDisplayCondition class. To render all Scenes within an application, call the Render method.
	ScreenOverlay	A visible element drawn in screen space. Overlays are useful for floating logos, heads up displays, and integrating user interfaces into the 3D window.
	ScreenOverlayCollection	A collection of screen overlays.
	ScreenOverlayManager	The top-level container for screen overlays. All child ScreenOverlays that are added to this container are specified relative to the overall Insight3D control.
	ScreenOverlayPickResult	Describes a picked screen overlay as a result of a call to Scene.PickScreenOverlays.
	SimulationAnimation	Allows the user to animate at any time: past, present, or future. The time between each animation frame is defined by TimeStep.
	SolidPrimitive	Renders filled solid objects and their outlines. Example solids include boxes and ellipsoids. Various effects are supported, such as displaying the solid's silhouette, and hiding the outline of the backside of the solid. In cases where you just want to visualize a solid's fill or outline, a TriangleMeshPrimitive or PolylinePrimitive can be used for reduced overhead.
	Stereoscopic	Gets the stereoscopic options for all Scenes. To use a particular stereoscopic display mode, ensure that your system supports the feature and that it is enabled.
	SurfaceMeshPrimitive	A triangle mesh primitive for meshes on the surface that need to conform to terrain.

To use optional parameters, create an instance of TextBatchPrimitiveOptionalParameters, then call the desired methods or properties to define per-string and per-batch parameters, and finally pass the object to the text batch's Set or SetPartial method.
	TextureMatrix	A 4 by 4 matrix applied to a texture coordinate.
	TextureScreenOverlay	A rectangular overlay that can be assigned a texture.
	TimeChangedEventArgs	The EventArgs passed to the time changed event.
	TimeIntervalDisplayCondition	Defines an inclusive time interval that determines when an object, such as a primitive, is rendered based on the current animation time , SceneManager.Time .
	TriangleMeshPrimitive	Renders a triangle mesh in the 3D scene. Examples of triangle meshes include polygons on the globe (e.g. states or countries), terrain and imagery extents, ellipses, and extrusions.
	TriangleMeshPrimitiveOptionalParameters	Optional parameters for TriangleMeshPrimitive. To use optional parameters, create an instance of TriangleMeshPrimitiveOptionalParameters, then call the desired methods or properties to define the parameters, and finally pass the object to the triangle mesh's Set method.
	VectorPrimitive	Renders a vector in the 3D scene. A vector is defined by a source (given by an ISystem) and a direction (given by an IVector or IPoint). Length is auto-calculated or can be set separately.
