Graphics Projection
Set various options that affect projection of sensor field of view
Syntax
Graphics <SensorObjectPath> Projection {Option}
Description
The Graphics Projection command is used to specify the display of sensor projection graphics in the 2D Graphics window.
Sensors attached to facilities, places and targets differ in their display behavior from those attached to vehicles. The intersections of vehicle-based sensors with the Earth display during animation. Nontargeted sensors attached to facilities, places and targets only display if the <StepCount> is greater than 0. The <StepCount> works in conjunction with <MinAlt> <MaxAlt> to determine the number and altitude of projections to be displayed.
The following options are valid only for ground-based sensors.
Ground-based Sensor {Option} | Description |
---|---|
Altitudes <MinAlt> <MaxAlt> <StepCount> | Specify the minimum and maximum altitude above the facility, place or target to which the sensor projects. The <StepCount> determines the number and altitude of projections to be displayed. For more information, refer to the STK Help topic on Sensor Projection. <MinAlt> and <MaxAlt> are entered in Connect distance units. |
Ranges <MinRange> <MaxRange> <StepCount> | Specify the minimum and maximum range from the facility, place or target to which the sensor projects. The <StepCount> determines the number of projections to display and the range value for each projection. For more information, refer to the STK Help topic on Sensor Projection. <MinRange> and <MaxRange> are entered in Connect distance units. |
Object {On | Off} [<TruncObjectPath>] | If On, projections display at the altitude of the vehicle specified using the <TruncObjectPath>. If Off, projections display at a constant altitude. If On, you must enter the <TruncObjectPath>. |
RangeConstraint | Minimum and maximum projection range is determined by the range constraint (range constraints are explained in the documentation for SetConstraint (Vehicles)) set for the sensor.
Both Min and Max values for the Sensor's Range constraints must be turned on, or this command will NACK. |
The following options are valid for all sensors.
Sensor {Option} | Description |
---|---|
Intersections {None | CentralBody | Terrain} |
Select one of the following:
|
FOVwithConstraints {On | Off} [<ConstraintNames>] | If on, defines which constraints can be used to modify field of view of the sensor. The constraints must also be turned on in order for this to occur. If off, removes specified constraints from consideration for field of view modification. If off and no constraint names are specified, disables field of view modification from constraints. |
ShowOn2dMap {On | Off} | If on, the sensor projection is shown on the 2d map If off, the projection is not shown. The default is On. |
Distance {On | Off} | Indicates whether the sensor field of view crossings at specified distances are computed and displayed in the 2D Graphics window. |
Through {Yes | No} | Indicates whether the sensor field of view will extend beyond specified crossings. |
Sides {Both| One} | Indicates the crossings that are computed and displayed in the 2D Graphics window:
|
Direction {Either | InsideOut | OutsideIn} | Indicates the direction in which the sensor field of view crosses the specified altitude:
|
ExcludeHorizonArcs {Yes | No} | Specifies whether to exclude the lines that indicate the intersection of the sensor with the horizon. |
Examples

To display Sen2 ignoring any intersections:
To define the minimum and maximum limits of Sensor1's projection using values set for Sensor1's Range Constraint:
To modify Sensor1's field of view to account for ground elevation constraints:
