ExploratoryLocationViewshed Class

Member Function Documentation

ExploratoryLocationViewshed::ExploratoryLocationViewshed(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Camera &camera, double minDistance, double maxDistance, QObject *parent = nullptr)

Creates a viewshed analysis object whose observer is defined using a point location.

Provide a Camera and distance range to define the analysis frustum.

• camera - A Camera to define the frustum of the viewshed. The camera location is that of the observer.
• minDistance - The minimum distance from the observer at which visibility will be evaluated.
• maxDistance - The maximum distance from the observer at which visibility will be evaluated.
• parent - An optional parent QObject.

Visible and non-visible areas are determined for an area defined by the camera and the min/max distance range. The parameters define the frustum over which visibility is calculated from the camera/observer location. Terrain and other obstacles between the observer and the minimum distance are excluded from the analysis, as are areas beyond the maximum distance.

ExploratoryLocationViewshed::ExploratoryLocationViewshed(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Point &location, double heading, double pitch, double horizontalAngle, double verticalAngle, double minDistance, double maxDistance, QObject *parent = nullptr)

Creates a viewshed analysis object whose observer is defined using a point location. Provide a map location and frustum parameters for the analysis.

Provide a map location and frustum parameters for the analysis.

• location - A geographic point location for the observer.
• heading - The heading value (azimuth) in degrees that defines the observer's view direction.
• pitch - The pitch value (angle) of the observer's view relative to the surface. Valid values are from 0 (looking straight down) to 180 (straight up).
• horizontalAngle - The horizontal angle of the observer's view. The value must be greater than 0, and no greater than 360.
• verticalAngle - The vertical angle of the observer's view. The value must be greater than 0, and no greater than 360.
• minDistance - The minimum distance in meters from the observer at which visibility will be evaluated.
• maxDistance - The maximum distance in meters from the observer at which visibility will be evaluated.
• parent - An optional parent QObject.

Visible and non-visible areas are determined for an area defined by the observer location, view angles, and the min/max distance range. The parameters define the frustum over which visibility is calculated from the observer location. The horizontal and vertical angles must be greater than zero to define a valid frustum and are constrained to a maximum of 120 degrees. Terrain and other obstacles between the observer and the minimum distance are excluded from the analysis, as are areas beyond the maximum distance.

[override virtual noexcept] ExploratoryLocationViewshed::~ExploratoryLocationViewshed()

Destructor.

double ExploratoryLocationViewshed::heading() const

Gets the observer's heading in degrees.

The heading represents the azimuth of the observer's direction of view. The value provided will be normalized to a value between 0 and 360 degrees.

See also setHeading().

Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Point ExploratoryLocationViewshed::location() const

Returns the observer location of the viewshed.

See also setLocation().

double ExploratoryLocationViewshed::pitch() const

Returns the pitch of the observer's field of vision.

Pitch is the angle of the observer's field of vision relative to the surface. Valid values are from 0 (looking straight down) to 180 (straight up).

See also setPitch().

void ExploratoryLocationViewshed::setHeading(double heading)

Sets the heading to heading.

See also heading.

void ExploratoryLocationViewshed::setLocation(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Point &location)

Sets the observer location to location.

See also location.

void ExploratoryLocationViewshed::setPitch(double pitch)

Sets the pitch to pitch.

See also pitch.

void ExploratoryLocationViewshed::updateFromCamera(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Camera &camera)

Updates the frustum of the viewshed using the properties of the supplied camera.

• camera - A Camera from which the viewshed will be updated.

The Camera is used to update the position, pitch, and heading of the viewshed frustum.
