Description
The VO RadarCrossSection command enables you to set the display of radar cross section (RCS) contour lines and volumes.
{Option} <Parameters> can be:
| {Option} | <Parameters> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Contours | {On | Off} | Show or hide the contour lines defined by the Graphics RadarCrossSection command. |
| Volumes | -many- | See the following table for the list of parameters for the Volumes option. |
The Volumes option parameters can be:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| On | Use On to display the shape and levels of the RCS in the 3D Graphics window. |
| Off | Turns off the display of the RCS. |
| WireFrame {On | Off} | Use On to display the shape of the RCS in the 3D Graphics window using wireframe graphics, with colors indicating the RCS levels. |
| Scale <Value> | Increases or decreases the size of the displayed volume relative to its RCS. <Value> is a value between 0.001 m and 1.0e7 m, entered in Connect distance units. |
| Pattern <NumberOfPhiPoints> <MinPhi> <MaxPhi> <NumberOfThetaPoints> <MinTheta> <MaxTheta> | Controls the RCS pattern resolution for contouring. Valid values for Phi and Theta are -180.0 degrees to 180.0 degrees. Valid values for number of points are 2 to 1000. |
| ColorMethod {MinToMax | ExplicitLevels} | Specify how colors will be added. If you enter MinToMax, use the MinToMax command to specify the colors. If you enter ExplicitLevels, use the AddColorLevel and DeleteColorLevel commands to specify the individual color levels. |
| MinToMax {MinColor} {MaxColor} | Specify the minimum and maximum color values. For valid {MinColor} and {MaxColor} options, see Common Options. |
| AddColorLevel <Value> {Color} | Explicitly define the mapping of RCS values to colors for the 3D volume. The <Value> is unitless. For valid {Color} options, see Common Options. |
| DeleteColorLevel {All | <Value>} | This deletes mapping between an RCS value and a color. Use the All option to delete all custom color mappings and apply the default STK color mappings. Enter a <Value>, which is unitless, to delete the color mappings for that gain value. |
| MinDisplayedRCS <Value> | Set the minimum RCS value. <Value> is a value between -100.0 and 200.0. |
| RelativeToMaximum {On | Off} | Turn on or off the relative-to-maximum value. |
Examples
Turn on the display of radar cross section volumes:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes On
Turn off the display of radar cross section volumes:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes Off
Turn on the display of radar cross section volumes using wireframe graphics:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes Wireframe On
Decrease the size of the display by 50X:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes Scale 50.0
Specify a pattern for the radar cross section:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes Pattern 40 0.0 180.0 20 0.0 50.0
Specify the radar cross section colors using MinToMax:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes ColorMethod MinToMax
Specify blue and red as the radar cross section color range using MinToMax:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes MinToMax blue red
Specify the radar cross section colors using ExplicitLevels:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes ColorMethod ExplicitLevels
Map an RCS value to a color:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes AddColorLevel -10.0 Red
Delete the mapping of an RCS value to any color:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes DeleteColorLevel -10.0
Set the minimum RCS value for the display:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes MinDisplayedRCS 50.0
Turn on the display of relative-to-maximum values:
VO */Aircraft/Aircraft1 RadarCrossSection Volumes RelativeToMaximum On
