Compass Marks Plug-in

Data Structures
class	CompassMarks
	Main class of the Compass Marks plug-in. More...

Detailed Description

Stellarium helps the user get their bearings using the cardinal point feature - the North, South, East and West markers on the horizon. CompassMarks takes this idea and extends it to add markings every few degrees along the horizon, and includes compass bearing values in degrees.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void CompassMarks::draw ( StelCore *  core )

virtual

Parameters

core	the core to use for the drawing

Reimplemented from StelModule.

virtual double CompassMarks::getCallOrder ( StelModuleActionName  actionName ) const

virtual

Parameters

actionName

the name of the action for which we want the call order

Returns

the value defining the order. The closer to 0 the earlier the module's action will be called

Reimplemented from StelModule.

virtual void CompassMarks::init ( )

virtual

If the initialization takes significant time, the progress should be displayed on the loading bar.

Implements StelModule.

void CompassMarks::loadConfiguration

(

)

Settings are kept in the "CompassMarks" section in Stellarium's configuration file. If no such section exists, it will load default values.

void CompassMarks::setCompassMarks ( bool  b )

slot

Parameters

b	if true, the ring of azimuth marks is visible, else not

virtual void CompassMarks::update ( double  deltaTime )

virtual

Parameters

deltaTime

the time increment in second since last call.

Implements StelModule.
