This function accepts smoothing type and factor.

Optionally, this call may return immediately (async) or it may wait for the transition to finish (sync).

This function puts the camera in free mode, so make sure to change it afterward if you need to. Also, this only works with the natural camera.

Specified by:

cameraPositionTransition in interface IScriptingInterface

Parameters:

camPos - The target camera position in the internal reference system and the given distance units.

units - The distance units to use. One of "m", "km", "au", "ly", "pc", "internal".

durationSeconds - The duration of the transition in position, in seconds.

smoothType - The function type to use for the smoothing of positions. Either "logit", "logisticsigmoid" or "none".

• "logisticsigmoid": starts slow and ends slow. The smooth factor must be over 12 to produce an effect, otherwise, linear interpolation is used.
• "logit": starts fast and ends fast. The smooth factor must be between 0.09 and 0.01.
• "none": no smoothing is applied.

smoothFactor - Smooth factor for the positions (depends on type).

sync - If true, the call waits for the transition to finish before returning, otherwise it returns immediately.

Parameters:

name - The name to identify the polyline, to possibly remove it later.

points - The points of the polyline. It is an array containing all the points as in [x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1, ..., xn, yn, zn].

color - The color of the polyline as an array of RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha) values in [0,1].

lineWidth - The line width. Usually a value between 1 (default) and 10.

primitive - The GL primitive: GL_LINES=1, GL_LINE_LOOP=2, GL_LINE_STRIP=3

addPolyline

public void addPolyline(String name,
 double[] points,
 double[] color,
 double lineWidth,
 int primitive,
 boolean arrowCaps)

Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

Adds a new polyline with the given name, points, color, line width, primitive and arrow caps. The polyline will be created with the 'Others' component type, so you need to enable the visibility of 'Others' in order to see it. This version enables the addition of arrow caps. In the case arrow caps are enabled, the line will be rendered in CPU mode (no VBO), making it slightly slower, especially for lines with many points. The arrow cap is added at the first point in the series.

Specified by:

addPolyline in interface IScriptingInterface

Parameters:

name - The name to identify the polyline, to possibly remove it later.

points - The points of the polyline. It is an array containing all the points as in [x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1, ..., xn, yn, zn].

color - The color of the polyline as an array of RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha) values in [0,1].

lineWidth - The line width. Usually a value between 1 (default) and 10.

primitive - The GL primitive: GL_LINES=1, GL_LINE_LOOP=2, GL_LINE_STRIP=3

arrowCaps - Whether to represent arrow caps. If enabled, the line is rendered in CPU mode, which is slower.

removeModelObject

public void removeModelObject(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(Runnable runnable)

Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

Posts a Runnable to the main loop thread that runs once after the update-scene stage, and before the render stage.

Specified by:

Parameters:

runnable - The runnable to run.

parkRunnable

public void parkRunnable(String id,

Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

See IScriptingInterface.parkSceneRunnable(String, Runnable).

Specified by:

parkSceneRunnable

public void parkSceneRunnable(String id,
 Runnable runnable)

Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

Parks an update Runnable to the main loop thread, and keeps it running every frame until it finishes or it is unparked by IScriptingInterface.unparkRunnable(String). This object runs after the update-scene stage and before the render stage, so it is intended for updating scene objects.

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:

parkSceneRunnable in interface IScriptingInterface

Parameters:

id - The string id to identify the runnable.

runnable - The scene update runnable to park.

parkCameraRunnable

public void parkCameraRunnable(String id,
 Runnable runnable)

Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

Parks a camera update Runnable to the main loop thread, and keeps it running every frame until it finishes or it is unparked by IScriptingInterface.unparkRunnable(String). This object runs after the update-camera stage and before the update-scene, so it is intended for updating the camera only.

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:

parkCameraRunnable in interface IScriptingInterface

Parameters:

id - The string id to identify the runnable.

loadDataset

public boolean loadDataset(String dsName,
 String absolutePath)

Description copied from interface: IScriptingInterface

Loads a VOTable, FITS, CSV or JSON dataset file with the 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:
