Creating and zooming to a bookmark in globe
To create bookmarks in globe, the IBookmark3D interface is used. Bookmarks are stored in ISceneBookmarks, which acts like a container.
To create and zoom to a bookmark in globe, perform the following steps:
- Get a handle to the bookmarks in the current scene as shown in the following code example:
ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.IGlobeDisplay globeDisplay=globe.GlobeDisplay;
ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.IScene scene=globeDisplay.Scene;
ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ISceneBookmarks sceneBookmarks=
(ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ISceneBookmarks)scene; // Explicit cast.
Dim globeDisplay As ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.IGlobeDisplay=globe.GlobeDisplay
Dim scene As ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.IScene=globeDisplay.Scene
Dim sceneBookmarks As ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ISceneBookmarks=CType(scene, ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ISceneBookmarks) ' Explicit Cast
- Since 3D bookmarks are saved camera perspectives, get a handle to the camera of the active viewer as shown in the following code example. Other properties of the bookmark can also be set.
ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ICamera camera=globeDisplay.ActiveViewer.Camera;
Dim camera As ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ICamera=globeDisplay.ActiveViewer.Camera
- Use the current camera locations to create and capture bookmarks and add them to the scene. See the following code example:
ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.IBookmark3D bookmark=new ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.Bookmark3D();
bookmark.Capture(camera);
bookmark.Name="Bookmark 1";
sceneBookmarks.AddBookmark(bookmark);
Dim bookmark As ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.IBookmark3D=Nothing
bookmark.Capture(camera)
bookmark.Name="Bookmark 1"
sceneBookmarks.AddBookmark(bookmark)
- Get a handle to the scene bookmarks (ISceneBookmarks) as previously shown, and specify the bookmark to zoom to. The following code example shows how to find a bookmark in the current scene by name:
ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.IBookmark3D pBookmark;
sceneBookmarks.FindBookmark("Bookmark 1", out pBookmark);
Dim pBookmark As ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.IBookmark3D=Nothing
sceneBookmarks.FindBookmark("Bookmark 1", pBookmark)
- Zoom to the bookmark by applying the camera properties to the current active viewer as shown in the following code example:
pBookmark.Apply(globeDisplay.ActiveViewer, false, 0);
pBookmark.Apply(globeDisplay.ActiveViewer, False, 0)
Globe navigation modes
The two navigation modes in globe are surface navigation and globe navigation. If the bookmark you want to zoom to was saved in either mode, make sure that after zooming to the bookmark, you also set the navigation mode.
Surface navigation mode
In surface navigation mode, the camera is set at the surface and X, Y, Z have a nonzero value. If that is the case, set the navigation mode of the globe camera to surface navigation mode.
Globe navigation mode
In globe navigation mode, the camera target has (X, Y, Z) equal to (0, 0, 0). Query to see if the camera target is set to (0, 0, 0). If it is, set the navigation mode of the globe camera to globe navigation mode. After setting the navigation mode, refresh the active viewer. See the following code example:
[C#] ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ICamera camera=globeDisplay.ActiveViewer.Camera;
ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.IGlobeCamera globeCamera=(IGlobeCamera)camera;
// Explicit cast.
double pXT, pYT, pZT;
camera.Target.QueryCoords(out pXT, out pYT);
pZT=camera.Target.Z;
globeCamera=(ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.IGlobeCamera)camera; // Explicit cast.
if ((pXT * pXT + pYT * pYT + pZT * pZT) < 0.000000000001)
globeCamera.OrientationMode =
esriGlobeCameraOrientationMode.esriGlobeCameraOrientationGlobal;
else
globeCamera.OrientationMode =
esriGlobeCameraOrientationMode.esriGlobeCameraOrientationLocal;
globeDisplay.ActiveViewer.Redraw(true);
Dim camera As ESRI.ArcGIS.Analyst3D.ICamera=sceneViewer.Camera
Dim globeCamera As ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.IGlobeCamera=CType(camera, ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.IGlobeCamera) ' Explict Cast
Dim pXT As System.Double=0
Dim pYT As System.Double=0
camera.Target.QueryCoords(pXT, pYT)
Dim pZT As System.Double
pZT=camera.Target.Z
If (pXT * pXT + pYT * pYT + pZT * pZT) < 0.000000000001 Then
globeCamera.OrientationMode=ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.esriGlobeCameraOrientationMode.esriGlobeCameraOrientationGlobal
Else
globeCamera.OrientationMode=ESRI.ArcGIS.GlobeCore.esriGlobeCameraOrientationMode.esriGlobeCameraOrientationLocal
End If
sceneViewer.Redraw(True)
