Parameters

PointName

Specify a component name.

Description

Specify a component description.

PointType

Member	Value	Description
eCrdnPointTypeUnknown	-1	Unknown or unsupported type.
eCrdnPointTypeBPlane	0	B-Plane point using the selected target body.
eCrdnPointTypeGrazing	1	The grazing point is the point of closest approach to the surface of the selected central body along a defined direction.
eCrdnPointTypeCovarianceGrazing	2	The point of closest approach to the surface of the specified position covariance ellipsoid surface along a defined direction. Position covariance must be available for a vehicle object to be considered a possible target for this option.
eCrdnPointTypeFromFile	3	This enumeration is deprecated. Use eCrdnPointTypeFile instead. Point specified by data from a file.
eCrdnPointTypeFixedInSystem	4	Point fixed in a reference coordinate system.
eCrdnPointTypeGlint	5	Point on central body surface that reflects from source to observer.
eCrdnPointTypePlaneIntersection	6	Point on a plane located along a given direction looking from a given origin.
eCrdnPointTypeModelAttachment	7	Point placed at the specified attachment point of the object's 3D model. The point follows the model as well as any articulations that affect the specified attachment point.
eCrdnPointTypePlaneProjection	8	The projection of a point onto a reference plane.
eCrdnPointTypeOnSurface	9	The detic subpoint of the reference point as projected onto the central body.
eCrdnPointTypeLagrangeLibration	10	Libration point using one primary and multiple secondary central bodies.
eCrdnPointTypeTemplate	11	Represents a VGT point created from a template. This type of point is not creatable.
eCrdnPointTypeCentralBodyIntersect	12	Point on central body surface along direction vector originating at source point.
eCrdnPointTypeAtTimeInstant	13	Point fixed relative to reference system based on another point evaluated at specified time instant.
eCrdnPointTypePlugin	14	A point plugin point.
eCrdnPointTypeFile	3	Point specified by data from a file.
eCrdnPointTypeFixedOnCentralBody	15	Point fixed on a central body.

Specify a component type.

Remarks

Spaces and most punctuation ( except for "-_().") cannot be used as a part of a component name when creating new components via VGT API.

Example

Create a B-Plane point using selected target body.

// Create a B-Plane point using selected target body 

IAgCrdnPointBPlane point = (IAgCrdnPointBPlane)provider.Points.Factory.Create( 

    "PointName", string.Empty, AgECrdnPointType.eCrdnPointTypeBPlane);
