Update the orientation of a graphic using expressions based on its attributes.
Use case
Instead of reading the attribute and changing the rotation on the symbol for a single graphic (a manual CPU operation), you can bind the rotation to an expression that applies to the whole overlay (an automatic GPU operation). This usually results in a noticeable performance boost (smooth rotations).
How to use the sample
Adjust the heading and pitch sliders to rotate the cone.
How it works
Create a new GraphicsOverlay
.
Create a new SimpleRenderer
.
Set the heading expression to [HEADING]
and the pitch expression to [PITCH]
with simpleRenderer.getSceneProperties().setHeadingExpression(...)
.
Apply the renderer to the graphics overlay with graphicsOverlay.setRenderer(simpleRenderer)
.
Create a new Point
and a new Graphic
and add it to the overlay with e.g. graphicsOverlay.getGraphics().add(graphic)
.
To update the graphic's rotation, update the HEADING
or PITCH
property in the graphic's attributes with graphic.getAttributes().put(key, value)
.
