Control soft video tape recording features for a 2D Graphics window (Deprecated Command)
Syntax
SoftVTR2D <ScenarioPath> {SoftVTROption} <Value> [{SoftVTROption} <Value>...]
This command is DEPRECATED and has been replaced by:
RecordMovie2DDescription
This command was deprecated in STK 11.5 it should no longer be used. This command has been replaced by the RecordMovie2D command.
The SoftVTR2D command allows you to set the options for and control the recording of the view in a 2D Graphics window.
{SoftVTROption} and <Parameters> can be:
{SoftVTROptions} can be specified in any order and any number of option can be included in a single command.
| {SoftVTROption} | <Parameters> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Record | On | Frames will be captured once every animation time step during animation. |
| Off | No frames are recorded and saved during animation. | |
| OutputDir | "<DirectoryPath>" | The directory in which images of individual frames will be saved. |
| Prefix | <String> | A string that will prefix each image's file name. |
| StartFromNumber | <Number> | The first number in the file sequence. The frame number increases incrementally for each subsequent frame saved. This number follows the prefix in the file name. |
| FileFormat | BMP | The format in which the files are to be saved.
AVI uses only the prefix and not the numbers, since it creates only one file.
If file format is <AVI>, Connect does NOT compress the resulting file. |

| MinDigits | <NumDigits> | The minimum number of digits to be used when naming a file. For instance, if the <NumDigits> is 2, file names are saved with the prefix plus a number from 01 to 99. When 99 is reached, STK begins overwriting files from 01 again. |
| SnapWindow | N/A | Saves a picture of the current 2D Graphics window using the file naming options set here.
If the SnapWindow option is included in the command with other recording options, recording options will be set before the window is snapped. |
| WindowID | <WinNumber> | Enter the number of the 2D Graphics window to which the changes should be applied. |
The following options are available if the FileFormat is WMV (Windows Media Video).
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| WmvCodec "<CodecValue>" | Specify a valid Codec name. For supported Codec names, use the SoftVTR2D_R command. |
| FrameRate <Rate> | Enter the value in frames per second. <Rate> is an integer greater than 0. |
| BitRate <Rate> | Enter the value in kilobits per second. <Rate> is an integer greater than 0. |
