Overview

This example demonstrates how to tactical graphics to the scene in a PVD application.

Expected Result

Tactical Graphics Stealth Result

Tactical Graphics PVD Result

Example details

The example creates a DtExampleTacticalGraphicsDriver for creating line and area symbols that will be displayed on the Ground DB II database.

The driver creates the symbol by waiting for the first application tick, then creating appropriate 2D or 3D line facades according to the model set realized. For the purposes of this example, only 2D (projected) areas are created.

Building the Example

VR-Vantage includes pre-built versions of the example plug-in. To build it yourself, follow the instructions at Building VR-Vantage Examples, Applications, and Plug-ins.

Running the Example

This example is a plug-in. You can run it by running ./bin64/exampleAccessory_stealth.bat (on Windows from cmd.exe) or ./bin64/exampleAccessory_stealth.sh (on Linux). For more information about running examples, please see Running Applications and Examples.
