Description

Provides access to the properties and methods used in defining a place object.

Object Model

Public Methods

GetAzElMask	Method to get the az-el mask. A member of the AgEAzElMaskType enumeration.
GetAzElMaskData	Method to get az-el mask data.
ResetAzElMask	Method to reset the az-el mask.
SetAzElMask	Method to set an az-el mask. A member of the AgEAzElMaskType enumeration.

Public Properties

AccessConstraints	Get the constraints imposed on the place.
AltRef	The altitude reference of the object.
Atmosphere	The local atmosphere.
Graphics	Get the 2D Graphics properties of the place.
HeightAboveGround	Height of place above its model of the ground. Height is measured along the normal to surface defined by reference ellipsoid of the central body. Place models the ground as an ellipsoid passing through the ground position. Uses Distance Dimension.
LocalTimeOffset	The amount of the time offset from GMT, if this option is used. Uses Time Dimension.
Position	Get the position of the place.
RadarClutterMap	Returns the radar clutter map.
RadarCrossSection	Returns the radar cross sectoin.
TerrainNorm	The method for determining the normal to the local terrain.
TerrainNormData	Data used in specifying terrain slope.
UseLocalTimeOffset	Opt whether to use a local time offset from GMT.
UseTerrain	Opt whether to set altitude automatically by using terrain data.
VO	Get the 3D Graphics properties of the place.

Example

Create a place (on current scenario central body)

[C#] Copy Code

// Create a place on current scenario central body 


IAgPlace place = root.CurrentScenario.Children.New(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "MyPlace") as IAgPlace;

Create a place on Earth at lat/lon/alt

[C#] Copy Code

IAgPlace place = root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "MyPlace", "Earth") as IAgPlace; 


 

// Assuming unit preferences are set to radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance 


place.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(0.4506, -1.4011, 4);

Create a place on specified central body at lat/lon/alt

[C#] Copy Code

IAgPlace placeObject = root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace, "Place1", "Mars") as IAgPlace; 


 

// Assuming unit preferences are set to radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance 


placeObject.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(-5.4245, 0.1902, 0);

Create a place from facility database

[C#] Copy Code

// Get STK database location using Connect 


<a href="STKUtil.chm::/STKUtil~AgExecCmdResult.html">AgExecCmdResult</a> result = root.ExecuteCommand("GetDirectory / Database Facility"); 


string facDataDir = result[0]; 


string filelocation = Path.Combine(facDataDir, "stkFacility.fd"); 


 

// Import object from database using Connect 


string command = "ImportFromDB * Facility \"" + filelocation + "\" Class Place SiteName Weilheim"; 


root.ExecuteCommand(command); 

 

IAgPlace place = root.GetObjectFromPath("Place/Weilheim") as IAgPlace;

Create a place (on current scenario central body)

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

' Create
a place on current scenario central body

Dim place As IAgPlace =
TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.[New](AgESTKObjectType.ePlace,
"MyPlace"), IAgPlace)

Create a place on Earth at lat/lon/alt

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

Dim place As IAgPlace
=
TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace,
"MyPlace", "Earth"), IAgPlace)



' Assuming unit preferences are set to
radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance

place.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(0.4506, -1.4011, 4)

Create a place on specified central body at lat/lon/alt

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

Dim placeObject As
IAgPlace =
TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.NewOnCentralBody(AgESTKObjectType.ePlace,
"Place1", "Mars"), IAgPlace)



' Assuming unit preferences are set to
radians for latitude and longitude and km for distance

placeObject.Position.AssignPlanetodetic(-5.4245, 0.1902, 0)

Create a place from facility database

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

' Get
STK database location using Connect

Dim result As AgExecCmdResult =
root.ExecuteCommand("GetDirectory / Database
Facility")

Dim facDataDir As String =
result(0)

Dim filelocation As String =
Path.Combine(facDataDir, "stkFacility.fd")



' Import object from database using
Connect

Dim command As String =
"ImportFromDB * Facility """ +
filelocation + """
Class Place SiteName Weilheim"

root.ExecuteCommand(command)



Dim place As IAgPlace =
TryCast(root.GetObjectFromPath("Place/Weilheim"), IAgPlace)
