Description

Provides access to the properties and methods used in defining a target 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 target.
AltRef	The altitude reference of the object.
Atmosphere	The local atmosphere.
Graphics	Get the 2D Graphics properties of the target.
HeightAboveGround	The height of the target above its model of the ground. The height is measured along the normal to surface defined by reference ellipsoid of the central body. The target 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 target.
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 target.

Example

Create a target (on the current scenario central body)

[C#] Copy Code

// Create the Target on the current scenario central body (use 

// NewOnCentralBody to specify explicitly the central body) 

IAgTarget areaTarget = root.CurrentScenario.Children.New(AgESTKObjectType.eAreaTarget, "MyAreaTarget") as IAgTarget;

Change a target position

[C#] Copy Code

IAgPosition pos = target.Position; 

pos.AssignGeodetic(39.95, 15.58, 231.54);

Configure a target from azimuth mask file

[C#] Copy Code

target.UseLocalTimeOffset = true; 

target.LocalTimeOffset = 200.0; 

target.UseTerrain = true; 

// Note, if SetAzElMask is set to a type other than AgEAzElMaskType.eMaskFile, 

// the second parameter is ignored. 

target.SetAzElMask(AgEAzElMaskType.eMaskFile, maskfile); 

target.TerrainNorm = AgETerrainNormType.eSlopeAzimuth; 

target.AltRef = AgEAltRefType.eMSL; 

target.HeightAboveGround = 1472.0;

Create a target (on the current scenario central body)

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

' Create the Target on the current scenario central body (use
' NewOnCentralBody to specify explicitly the central body)
Dim areaTarget As IAgTarget = TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.[New](AgESTKObjectType.eAreaTarget, "MyAreaTarget"), IAgTarget)

Change a target position

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

Dim pos As IAgPosition = target.Position
 pos.AssignGeodetic(39.95, 15.58, 231.54)

Configure a target from azimuth mask file

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

target.UseLocalTimeOffset = True
 target.LocalTimeOffset = 200
 target.UseTerrain = True
' Note, if SetAzElMask is set to a type other than AgEAzElMaskType.eMaskFile,
' the second parameter is ignored.
 target.SetAzElMask(AgEAzElMaskType.eMaskFile, maskfile)
 target.TerrainNorm = AgETerrainNormType.eSlopeAzimuth
 target.AltRef = AgEAltRefType.eMSL
 target.HeightAboveGround = 1472
