The Line Target Object

The Line Target object models a linear region of interest on the surface of the central body. Select one or more of the following to model a line target and impose constraints:

Basic Properties

Property Description
Path Define the line target as a line connecting selected points.
Processing Delay The summed time values of the processing delays specified by each object in the strand plus the light time delay between object pairs in the strand. The light time delay between object pairs is computed simply based on the objects positions divided by the speed of light.
Description Record useful information about the line target.

2D Graphics Properties

Property Description
Attributes Define color, line style and other graphics characteristics for the line target, and opt whether to inherit or override global attributes defined at the Scenario level.
Display Times Set time intervals during which line target graphics display.

3D Graphics Properties

Property Description
Attributes Define color, line style and other graphics characteristics for the line target, and opt whether to inherit or override attributes defined for 2D graphics.
Vector Control the display of vectors and other geometric elements related to the line target.

Constraints

Property Description
Active

Impose constraints on access from the following available constraint categories for a Line Target object:

  • Basic: The most commonly used constraints
  • Geometry: Constraints that use a geometric measure (other than angle), such as range, altitude, and grazing altitude
  • Analysis Workbench (AWB): Constraints that involve an Analysis Workbench (AWB) component (Angle, Calculation Scalar, Condition, or Vector)
  • Plugins: Your own plugin constraints, which compute a plugin-defined metric that you define
  • Temporal: Constraints related to specified time-of-day or time intervals
Settings Select access constraint conditions that apply generally to access computations involving a Line Target object.
