Define an ellipse, relative to a bearing from the North, around an object.
VO <ObjectPath> BearingEllipse {Keyword} <Value> [{Keyword} <Value>...]
Create and set attributes for a bearing ellipse to appear around a vehicle, facility or place. The ellipse is defined relative to a bearing from the North.
Note: The BorderWall keyword must come last in the command syntax or the command will NACK.
| {Keyword} <Value> | Description |
|---|---|
| Show {On | Off} | Show or hide the bearing ellipse. |
| Color {Color} | Set the color of the ellipse. For valid {Color} options see Common Options. |
| LineStyle {LineStyle} | Set the line style of the ellipse. For valid {LineStyle} options see Common Options. |
| LineWidth <LineWidth> | Indicate a pixel width value between 1.0 and 10.0. |
| Bearing <Value> | The bearing value, relative to North. Entered in degrees. |
| MajorAxisLength <Value> | Define the length of the major axis for the ellipse. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 60,000 m for Vehicles and 24,000 m for Facility and Place.> |
| MinorAxisLength <Value> | Define the minor axis length for the ellipse. <Value> must be greater than 0 and is entered in Connect distance units. Default is 50,000 m for Vehicles and 16,000 m for Facility and Place. |
| OffsetMajorAxis <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipse (forward or backward) along the bearing. A positive OffsetMajorAxis <Value> moves the ellipse forward. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| OffsetMinorAxis <Value> | The distance to offset the ellipse (left or right) along the bearing. A positive OffsetMinorAxis <Value> moves the ellipse to the right. Entered in Connect distance units. |
| Granularity <Value> | Indicate the number of points used to draw the ellipse. Entered in degrees, the default value is 3 degrees. Lower numbers create a better ellipse and higher numbers make the ellipse draw faster. |
| ShowLabels {On | Off} | Show or hide the major and minor axes labels. |
| ShowText {On | Off} | Show or hide the user defined text. |
| Text "<Text>" | Set user defined text. |
| BorderWall {Options} | Instead of drawing the ellipse as a
line, it can be drawn as a border wall. For the options available
see VO BorderWall.
Note: The BorderWall keyword must come last in the command syntax or the command will NACK. Note: The bearing ellipse will render much faster as a line than a Borderwall, especially if the border wall is drawn relative to terrain. |
Note: The following keywords have been deprecated in STK10.1.
The deprecated keywords will be maintained for backward compatibility only. They have been replaced by keywords that allow <Value> to be entered in Connect distance units, rather than being restricted to meters.
| Deprecated Keyword | Use this instead: |
|---|---|
| SemiMajorAxis | MajorAxisLength |
| SemiMinorAxis | MinorAxisLength |
| MajorAxisOffset | OffsetMajorAxis |
| MinorAxisOffset | OffsetMinorAxis |
Show a BearingEllipse around FacTest1, with a bearing 60 degrees off North:
VO */Facility/FacTest1 BearingEllipse Show On Bearing 60 MajorAxisLength 12000 color yellow LineStyle dotted LineWidth 2
Show a BearingEllipse around airBearingEllipse3, with a bearing 10 degrees off North:
VO */Aircraft/airBearingEllipse3 BearingEllipse Show On Color yellow Bearing 10
Modify the BearingEllipse around airBearingEllipse3, by adding a Borderwall, 5 kilometers high:
VO */Aircraft/airBearingEllipse3 BearingEllipse Borderwall Show On BottomAltRef Terrain TopAltRef Terrain TopAltRefValue 5000
If activated, Connect returns an acknowledgement message.
