Graphics, FileIO


This program implements the KML abstract LookAt class. For reference, see the Google KML Reference Documentation. A LookAt object extends a KML Object. The purpose of this object is to allow Google Earth to "fly to" a particular location.

Examples

See the cgKML_File object for examples of how to create a KML file.

Routines

result = cgKML_LookAt::INIT( [ALTITUDEMODE=string] [, HEADING=float] [, HEIGHT=double] [, LATITUDE=float] [, LONGITUDE=float] [, TILT=float], _REF_EXTRA=_REF_EXTRA)

The purpose of this method is to establish a KML LookAt object class.

cgKML_LookAt::Build, LUN=integer

This method builds the feature in a KML file.

cgKML_LookAt::Body, LUN=integer

This method adds LookAt elements to the KML file.

cgKML_LookAt::Head, LUN=integer

This method opens the <LookAt> tag in the KML file.

cgKML_LookAt::Tail, LUN=integer

This method closes the <LookAt> tag in the KML file.

cgKML_LookAt::GetProperty [, ALTITUDEMODE=string] [, HEADING=float] [, HEIGHT=double] [, LATITUDE=float] [, LONGITUDE=float] [, TILT=float], _REF_EXTRA=_REF_EXTRA

The purpose of this method is to set the object's properties.

cgKML_LookAt::SetProperty [, ALTITUDEMODE=string] [, HEADING=float] [, HEIGHT=double] [, LATITUDE=float] [, LONGITUDE=float] [, TILT=float], _REF_EXTRA=_REF_EXTRA

The purpose of this method is to set the object's properties.

cgKML_LookAt::CLEANUP

The purpose of this method is to destroy anything we created that may leak memory or need to be released from use.

cgKML_LookAt__Define [, class]

The cgKML_LookAt class definition module.

Routine details

top cgKML_LookAt::INIT

result = cgKML_LookAt::INIT( [ALTITUDEMODE=string] [, HEADING=float] [, HEIGHT=double] [, LATITUDE=float] [, LONGITUDE=float] [, TILT=float], _REF_EXTRA=_REF_EXTRA)

The purpose of this method is to establish a KML LookAt object class. For reference, see https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#lookat.

Keywords

ALTITUDEMODE in optional type=string default=relativeToGround

The mode of the altitude. Possible values are: "clampToGround", "relativeToGround" and "absolute".

HEADING in optional type=float default=0.0

The angle of the view. Valid values 0 to 360.

HEIGHT in optional type=double default=11000.0

The altitude (in km) of the eye with respect to the lat/lon point of the eye. Called "altitude" in the KML documentation, but called "height" here to differentiate keyword from "altitudeMode". Positive values in kilometers.

LATITUDE in optional type=float default=0.0

The input latitude where the eye should be located. Valid values -90 to 90.

LONGITUDE in optional type=float default=0.0

The input longitude where the eye should be located. Valid values -180 to 180.

TILT in optional type=float default=0.0

The tilt angle of the eye. Valid values 0 to 90. _ref_extra: in, optional Any keywords appropriate for superclass objects may be passed into the program.
