Sample viewer app

Demonstrates how to animate a graphic's position and rotation and follow it using a OrbitGeoElementCameraController. Also shows how to combine a SceneView and MapView in an MVC application with property binding.

screenshot

Use case

Visualize movement through a 3D landscape.

How to use the sample

Animation Controls (Top Left Corner):

Select a mission -- selects a location with a route for the plane to fly
Play/Pause -- toggles playing and stopping the animation
Fixed/Follow -- toggles the camera's free cam mode and follow
Mission progress -- shows how far along the route the plane is. Slide to change keyframe in animation

Camera Controls (Top Right Corner):

Camare zoom -- distance between camera and plane
Camera angle -- viewing angle between camera and plane
Flight speed -- controls speed of animation

2D Map Controls (Bottom Left Corner):

Plus and Minus -- controls distance of 2D view from ground level

How it works

Create a GraphicsOverlay and add it to the SceneView.
Create a ModelSceneSymbol object.
Create a Graphic object and set its geometry to a Point.
Set the ModelSceneSymbol object to the graphic.
Add heading, pitch, and roll attributes to the graphic. Get the attributes from the graphic with Graphic.attributes.
Create a SimpleRenderer object and set its expression properties.
Add graphic and a renderer to the graphics overlay.
Create an OrbitGeoElementCameraController which is set to target the graphic.
Assign the camera controller to the SceneView.
Update the graphic's location, heading, pitch, and roll.
