VO GlobeDetails

Add details to the globe in the VO window

Syntax

VO <ScenarioPath> GlobeDetails {DetailOption} <DetailParams> [WindowID <WinNumber>]

Description

The VO GlobeDetails command allows you to add details to the globe in the 3D Graphics window.

WindowID <WinNumber> allows you to specify which 3d Graphics windows to set details in. If no WindowID is specified, Connect applies the command to the first 3D Graphics windows.

Valid values for {DetailOption} are described in the following table. At least one <DetailParams> must be entered for any {DetailOption}.

{DetailOption}<DetailParams>Description
MapDetail
  • Show {On | Off}
  • Resolution {VeryLow | Low | Medium | High}
  • LineWidth <Width>
  • Map {GeographicFeature}
  • ShowDetail {On | Off}
  • DetailColor {Color}
Set parameters for MapDetails and display selected geographic features on the globe in the 3D window.

When using the Map {GeographicFeature} parameter, you must also enter ShowDetail and/or DetailColor to modify the feature. ShowDetail and DetailColor cannot be entered unless Map {GeographicFeature} is also entered.

Possible values for {GeographicFeature} are: RWDB2_Coastlines, RWDB2_International_Borders, RWDB2_Islands, RWDB2_Lakes, RWDB2_Provincial_Borders, RWDB2_Rivers

LatLon
  • Show {On | Off}
  • LineColor {Color}
  • LineWidth <Width>
  • LatSpacing <Value>
  • LonSpacing <Value>
Use the LatLon {DetailOption} to define parameters for displaying latitude and longitude lines.

Use the LatSpacing and LonSpacing options to set the spacing between latitude and longitude lines on the globe. The <Value> is entered in degrees. For LatSpacing a valid value is between 0.001 and 90.0, and for LonSpacing a valid value is between 0.001 and 360.0.

If LatSpacing is entered, then this value will be used for both Latitude and Longitude spacing, unless LonSpacing is also entered.

Equator
  • Show {On | Off}
  • LineColor {Color}
  • LineWidth <Width>
Set parameters for, and display, the Equator.

The LineColor and LineWidth values, if entered, will set the color and width for both Equator and Prime Meridian.

Meridian
  • Show {On | Off}
  • LineColor {Color}
  • LineWidth <Width>
Set parameters for, and display, the Prime Meridian.

The LineColor and LineWidth values, if entered, will set the color and width for both Equator and Prime Meridian.

Background
  • Color {Color}
Define the background color for the 3D window.
Zoom2DMaps
  • Show {On | Off}
If turned on then areas that are zoomed in on the 2D Graphics window will be outlined on the globe in the VO window. Outlines are shown only for zoomed 2D Graphics windows using equidistant cylindrical, mercator, and miller projections.

For LineWidth <Width>, indicate a pixel width value between 1.0 and 10.0.

For valid {Color} options see Common Options.

Examples

To turn on Latitude/Longitude lines, with a spacing of 30 degrees, colored red and line width of 3, on 3D Graphics window 1:
