Change viewpoint

View inC++QMLView on GitHubSample viewer app

Set the map view to a new viewpoint.

screenshot

Use case

Programatically navigate to a specified location in the map or scene. Use this to focus on a particular point or area of interest.

How to use the sample

The map view has several methods for setting its current viewpoint. Select a viewpoint from the UI to see the viewpoint changed using that method.

How it works

  1. Create a new Map object and set it to the MapView object.
  2. Change the map's Viewpoint using one of the available methods:
  • Use MapView::setViewpointAnimated(viewPoint, duration, AnimationCurve) to pan to a viewpoint over the specified length of time.
  • Use MapView::setViewpointCenter() to center the viewpoint on a Point and set a distance from the ground using a scale.
  • Use MapView::setViewpointGeometry() to set the viewpoint to a given Geometry.

Relevant API

  • AnimationCurve
  • Map
  • Geometry
  • MapView
  • Point
  • Viewpoint

Additional information

Below are some other ways to set a viewpoint:

  • setViewpoint
  • setViewpointCenter
  • setViewpointGeometry
  • setViewpointRotation
  • setViewpointScale
