        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface
        Creates a smooth transition from the current camera state to the given camera state {camPos, camDir, camUp} in the given number of seconds. Optionally, the transition may be run synchronously or asynchronously to the current script. This function will put the camera in free mode, so make sure to change it afterwards if you need to. Also, this only works with the natural camera.
        Specified by:
        cameraTransition in interface IScriptingInterface
        Parameters:
        camPos - The target camera position in the internal reference system.
        camDir - The target camera direction in the internal reference system.
        camUp - The target camera up in the internal reference system.
        seconds - The duration of the transition in seconds.
        sync - If true, the call waits for the transition to finish before returning, otherwise it returns immediately

      • removeModelObject

        public void removeModelObject​(java.lang.String name)
        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

        Removes the model object identified by the given name from the internal scene graph model of Gaia Sky, if it exists. If the object has children, they are removed recursively. Be careful with this function, as it can have unexpected side effects depending on what objects are removed. For example,

        gs.removeModelObject("Earth")

        removes the Earth, the Moon, Gaia and any dependent object from Gaia Sky.

        Specified by:
        removeModelObject in interface IScriptingInterface
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the object to remove.
      • postRunnable

        public void postRunnable​(java.lang.Runnable runnable)
        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface
        Posts a Runnable to the main loop thread. The runnable runs only once. This will execute the runnable right after the current update-render cycle has finished.
        Specified by:
        postRunnable in interface IScriptingInterface
        Parameters:
        runnable - The runnable to run.

                                 java.lang.Runnable runnable)
        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface
        Parks a Runnable to the main loop thread, and keeps it running every frame until it finishes or it is unparked by IScriptingInterface.unparkRunnable(String). Be careful with this function, as it probably needs a cleanup before the script is finished. Otherwise, all parked runnables will keep running until Gaia Sky is restarted, so make sure to remove them with IScriptingInterface.unparkRunnable(String) if needed.
        Specified by:
        parkRunnable in interface IScriptingInterface
        Parameters:
        id - The string id to identify the runnable.
        runnable - The runnable to park.

        public void unparkRunnable​(java.lang.String id)
        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface
        Loads a VOTable file (.vot) of stars with a given name. In this version, the loading happens synchronously, so the catalog is available to Gaia Sky immediately after this call returns. The actual loading process is carried out making educated guesses about semantics using UCDs and column names. Please check the official documentation for a complete reference on what can and what can't be loaded.
        Specified by:
        loadDataset in interface IScriptingInterface
        Parameters:
        dsName - The name of the dataset, used to identify the subsequent operations on the dataset.
        absolutePath - Absolute path (or relative to the working path of Gaia Sky) to the .vot file to load.
        Returns:
        False if the dataset could not be loaded, true otherwise.

                                   boolean sync)
        Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface
        Loads a VOTable file (.vot) of stars with a given name. The call can be made synchronous or asynchronous.
        If sync is true, the call acts exactly like IScriptingInterface.loadDataset(String, String).
        If sync is false, the loading happens in a new thread and the call returns immediately. In this case, you can use IScriptingInterface.hasDataset(String) to check whether the dataset is already loaded and available. The actual loading process is carried out making educated guesses about semantics using UCDs and column names. Please check the official documentation for a complete reference on what can and what can't be loaded.
        Specified by:
        loadDataset in interface IScriptingInterface
        Parameters:
        dsName - The name of the dataset, used to identify the subsequent operations on the dataset.
        path - Absolute path (or relative to the working path of Gaia Sky) to the .vot file to load.
        sync - Whether the load must happen synchronously or asynchronously.
        Returns:

        Loads a particle dataset (only positions and extra attributes) from a VOTable file (.vot). The call can be made synchronous or asynchronous.
        If sync is true, the call waits until the dataset is loaded and then returns. If sync is false, the loading happens in a new thread and the call returns immediately. It includes some parameters to apply to the new star group.
