Example

Configure 3D data display

[C#]

// Add existing data display
// See AvailableData property for available data display
IAgVODataDisplayElement displayElement = datadisplaycol.Add("Solar Intensity");

// Configure data display as needed
displayElement.TitleText = "Sol. Intensity";
displayElement.IsVisible = true;
displayElement.Location = AgEVOLocation.e3DWindow;
displayElement.FontColor = Color.White;
displayElement.FontSize = AgEVOFontSize.eSmall;
displayElement.UseBackground = true;
displayElement.BgColor = Color.Orange;
displayElement.UseAutoSizeWidth = false;
displayElement.UseAutoSizeHeight = false;
displayElement.BgHeight = 55;
displayElement.BgWidth = 260;
displayElement.BackgroundTranslucency = 0.5;
displayElement.UseBackgroundTexture = false;
displayElement.UseBackgroundBorder = true;
displayElement.BackgroundBorderColor = Color.White;

Delay graphics updates while manipulating properties of an object

[C#]

IAgSatellite satellite = root.CurrentScenario.Children["Satellite1"] as IAgSatellite;
IAgVODataDisplayElement voElt = satellite.VO.DataDisplay[0];

root.BeginUpdate(); // Suspend updates

// Put modifications here
voElt.IsVisible = true;
voElt.UseBackground = true;
voElt.BgColor = Color.Green;
voElt.UseBackground = false;

root.EndUpdate(); // Resume updates now

Delay graphics updates while manipulating properties of an object

[Visual Basic .NET]

Dim satellite As IAgSatellite = TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children("Satellite1"), IAgSatellite)
Dim voElt As IAgVODataDisplayElement = satellite.VO.DataDisplay(0)

root.BeginUpdate()
' Suspend updates
' Put modifications here
voElt.IsVisible = True
voElt.UseBackground = True
voElt.BgColor = Color.Green
voElt.UseBackground = False

root.EndUpdate()
' Resume updates now

Configure 3D data display

[Visual Basic .NET]

' Add existing data display
' See AvailableData property for available data display
Dim displayElement As IAgVODataDisplayElement = datadisplaycol.Add("Solar Intensity")

' Configure data display as needed
displayElement.TitleText = "Sol. Intensity"
displayElement.IsVisible = True
displayElement.Location = AgEVOLocation.e3DWindow
displayElement.FontColor = Color.White
displayElement.FontSize = AgEVOFontSize.eSmall
displayElement.UseBackground = True
displayElement.BgColor = Color.Orange
displayElement.UseAutoSizeWidth = False
displayElement.UseAutoSizeHeight = False
displayElement.BgHeight = 55
displayElement.BgWidth = 260
displayElement.BackgroundTranslucency = 0.5
displayElement.UseBackgroundTexture = False
displayElement.UseBackgroundBorder = True
displayElement.BackgroundBorderColor = Color.White

Add a Data Display to the 3D Window

[Python - STK API]

# IAgSatellite satellite: Satellite object
# Remove all data displays so you can easily pick one that may already be in
# the list
satellite.VO.DataDisplay.RemoveAll()
# Add LLA data display and change size/title
datadisplay = satellite.VO.DataDisplay.Add('LLA Position')
datadisplay.IsVisible = True
datadisplay.FontSize = AgEVOFontSize.eMedium
datadisplay.TitleText = 'My Data Display'
datadisplay.IsShowNameEnabled = False

Add a Data Display to the 3D Window

[MATLAB]

% IAgSatellite satellite: Satellite object
% Remove all data displays so you can easily pick one that may already be in
% the list
satellite.VO.DataDisplay.RemoveAll;
% Add LLA data display and change size/title
datadisplay = satellite.VO.DataDisplay.Add('LLA Position');
datadisplay.IsVisible = true;
datadisplay.FontSize = 'eMedium';
datadisplay.TitleText = 'My Data Display';
datadisplay.IsShowNameEnabled = false;
