The procedure of adding ecef geometry, as explained in the previous sections, is illustrated in the CMake example (in the example.cmake folder). It shows a rotating earth with an additional pole axis (mininode_geometry_tube) and an equator ring (mininode_geometry_band).
This example is a good starting point to code your own geographic applications. For example, you can show a tileset that has been resampled with the qtviewer (or vtbuilder) just by issuing the following commands in the MainWindow::timerEvent method:
if (!loaded)
{
viewerWindow->getViewer()->loadMap("url or file path to tileset");
loaded=true;
}
viewerWindow->repaint();
Then you can navigate to a particular view point given in a geografic coordinate system (Lat/Lon, UTM, Mercator, etc.):
minicoord eye;
double lat=49.5,lon=11.05, height=1000.0; // 1 km above Nuremberg airport
eye.set_llh(lat,lon);
// set camera to eye coordinates looking down by default
viewerWindow->getViewer()->getCamera()->set_eye(eye);
viewerWindow->repaint();
Or just let the earth rotate:
viewerWindow->getViewer()->getCamera()->move_left(10000.0);
viewerWindow->repaint();
