| {Keyword} <Value> | Description |
|---|---|
| Show {On | Off} | Show or hide the ellipsoid. |
| Color {Color} | Set the color of the ellipsoid. For valid {Color} options see Common Options. |
| LineStyle {LineStyle} | Set the line style of the ellipsoid. For valid {LineStyle} options see Common Options. |
| LineWidth <LineWidth> | Indicate a pixel width value between 1.0 and 10.0. |
| UseTranslucency {On | Off} | Set UseTranslucency to On to use the value in the Translucency option for the ellipsoid walls. |
| Translucency <Value> | Valid value is 0 - 100, where 0 is opaque and 100 is transparent. Default is 90. |
| RefFrame "<RefAxes>" | The reference frame is used to align the ellipsoid. Default is the vehicle's ICR axes.
For details on the format of "<RefAxes>" see Component Specification. |
| XSemiAxis <Value> | Indicates the length of the Semi-Axis of the ellipsoid in the direction of the X axis of the reference frame. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 60,000 m. |
| YSemiAxis <Value> | Indicates the length of the Semi-Axis of the ellipsoid in the direction of the Y axis of the reference frame. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 50,000 m. |
| ZSemiAxis <Value> | Indicates the length of the Semi-Axis of the ellipsoid in the direction of the Z axis of the reference frame. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 20,000 m. |
| XAxisOffset <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipsoid (positive or negative) along the X axis of the reference frame. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| YAxisOffset <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipsoid (positive or negative) along the Y axis of the reference frame. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| ZAxisOffset <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipsoid (positive or negative) along the Z axis of the reference frame. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| Granularity <Value> | Indicate the number of points used to draw the ellipsoid. Entered in degrees, the default value is 10 degrees. |
| ShowLabels {On | Off} | Show or hide the X and Y labels. |
| ShowText {On | Off} | Show or hide the user defined text. |
| Text "<Text>" | Set user defined text. |
