Description
Create and set attributes for a bearing ellipse to appear around a vehicle, facility or place. The ellipse is defined relative to a bearing from the North.
The BorderWall keyword must come last in the command syntax or the command will NACK.
| {Keyword} <Value> | Description |
|---|---|
| Show {On | Off} | Show or hide the bearing ellipse. |
| Color {Color} | Set the color of the ellipse. For valid {Color} options see Common Options. |
| LineStyle {LineStyle} | Set the line style of the ellipse. For valid {LineStyle} options see Common Options. |
| LineWidth <LineWidth> | Indicate a pixel width value between 1.0 and 10.0. |
| Bearing <Value> | The bearing value, relative to North. Entered in degrees. |
| MajorAxisLength <Value> | Define the length of the major axis for the ellipse. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 60,000 m for Vehicles and 24,000 m for Facility and Place.> |
| MinorAxisLength <Value> | Define the minor axis length for the ellipse. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 50,000 m for Vehicles and 16,000 m for Facility and Place. |
| OffsetMajorAxis <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipse (forward or backward) along the bearing. A positive OffsetMajorAxis <Value> moves the ellipse forward. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| OffsetMinorAxis <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipse (left or right) along the bearing. A positive OffsetMinorAxis <Value> moves the ellipse to the right. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| Granularity <Value> | Indicate the number of points used to draw the ellipse. Entered in degrees, the default value is 3 degrees. Lower numbers create a better ellipse and higher numbers make the ellipse draw faster. |
| ShowLabels {On | Off} | Show or hide the major and minor axes labels. |
| ShowText {On | Off} | Show or hide the user defined text. |
| Text "<Text>" | Set user defined text. |
| BorderWall {Options} | Instead of drawing the ellipse as a line, it can be drawn as a border wall. For the options available see VO BorderWall.
The BorderWall keyword must come last in the command syntax or the command will NACK. The bearing ellipse will render much faster as a line than a Borderwall, especially if the border wall is drawn relative to terrain. |
The following keywords have been deprecated in STK10.1.
The deprecated keywords will be maintained for backward compatibility only. They have been replaced by keywords that allow <Value> to be entered in Connect distance units, rather than being restricted to meters.
| Deprecated Keyword | Use this instead: |
|---|---|
| SemiMajorAxis | MajorAxisLength |
| SemiMinorAxis | MinorAxisLength |
| MajorAxisOffset | OffsetMajorAxis |
| MinorAxisOffset | OffsetMinorAxis |
