Member Function Documentation

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setDirection	(	const AttachablePoint &	source,
		const AttachablePoint &	dest
	)

virtual

Changes the scroll direction of the comm line.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setColor	(	float	red,
		float	green,
		float	blue,
		float	alpha = `1.0f`
	)

virtual

Sets the color of the comm line.

Color values specified in the 0 to 1 range.

Implements makVrv::DtBaseRadioVisualization.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setAnimationRate ( float rate )

virtual

Sets the rate at which the comm line scrolls.

At an animation rate of 1.0, one of the comm line's dashes will advance to the position of the next dash in 1 second. At a factor (animation rate) of 2.0, it does it in half a second, etc.

Implements makVrv::DtBaseRadioVisualization.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::animate ( double t )

virtual

Animate the comm line using the current time.

Implements makVrv::DtBaseRadioVisualization.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setCurvedEarthExaggeration ( float amount )

virtual

Sets the amount of exaggeration applied to curved earth comm lines.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setUseCurvedEarthLines ( bool useCurved )

virtual

Sets whether the line should be rendered as a great circle arc.

If set to false, the line is rendered as a straight line.

Exceptions

DtCorruptedState if the line model can't be created.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setStartOffset ( const DtVector & offset )

virtual

Sets the offset of attachments to the start point of the line.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::setEndOffset ( const DtVector & offset )

virtual

Sets the offset of attachments to the end point of the line.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::initialize ( )

protectedvirtual

Instantiates model agents representing the comm line.

Uses settings from the settings manager for proper appearance.

Exceptions

DtCorruptedState if agents could not be created.

virtual DtSegmentedLineModelAgent* makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::instantiateLineModelAgent ( )

protectedvirtual

Instantiates the model agent used for visualizing the line itself.

This method can be overridden to create new communication line types that visualize lines using different model agents.

Returns: the newly instantiated line model agent.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::initializeLineModelAgent ( DtSegmentedLineModelAgent * agent )

protectedvirtual

Initializes the line model agent with its display parameters.

This method applies the display parameters to the line model agent to customize how the line appears (occlusion, stipple, line width, etc.). This method can be overridden to create new communication line types that appear differently from the default communication lines.

virtual void makVrv::DtCommunicationLine::slot_coordinateSystemChanged ( )

protectedvirtual

Receives notification that the loaded terrain's coordinate system changed.

Forces re-creation of the communication line model, since the great circle lines don't work on non-geocentric terrains.
