GlobeOptions Object

The GlobeOptions object lets you control the display of any CelestialObject, including the rendering of its surface textures, planetary atmosphere, coastlines, political boundaries, and custom user-specified lines or location markers. You can access the globe options for a CelestialObject through the CelestialObject.Globe property. You can assign GlobeOptions objects using the = operator. See the Globe Layers page for more information.

Name	Description	Attributes
AtmosphereLayer	The atmosphere layer lets you control the cloud texture and the rendering of atmosphere effects.	Type: GlobeAtmosphereLayer Access: Read-Only
BoundaryLayers	Boundary layers are used to render coastlines and coastline offsets in FreeFlyer.	Type: Array of GlobeBoundaryLayer Access: Read-Only
DeclaredName	The name of the object as declared.	Type: String Access: Read-Only
DisplayName	The name displayed for this object in output windows such as views, plots, and reports.	Type: String Access: Read/Write
LineLayers	Line layers can be used to render political boundaries such as state and country borders. They can also be used to render any user-specified latitude/longitude datasets on the surface of any CelestialObject.	Type: Array of GlobeLineLayer Access: Read-Only
LocationLayers	Location layers can be used to render location markers and names, such as for cities.	Type: Array of GlobeLocationLayer Access: Read-Only
NumberOfBoundaryLayers	The number of boundary layers. Boundary layers are used to render coastlines and coastline offsets in FreeFlyer.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
NumberOfLineLayers	The number of line layers. Line layers can be used to render political boundaries such as state and country borders. They can also be used to render any user-specified latitude/longitude datasets on the surface of any CelestialObject.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
NumberOfLocationLayers	The number of location layers. Location layers can be used to render location markers and names, such as for cities.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
ObjectId	The unique identifier for the object.	Type: Variable Access: Read-Only
ObjectType	The type of the object.	Type: String Access: Read-Only
Quality	Controls the quality of the Globe rendering. Increasing the render quality from low to high will improve the visual quality of the globe rendering, at the expense of performance. A render quality of at least 4 must be used to render atmospheric scattering effects.	Type: Variable Access: Read/Write
SurfaceLayer	The surface layer lets you control the day and night textures as well as the specular reflections and bump texture.	Type: GlobeSurfaceLayer Access: Read-Only
