Asset Examples

Basic

This asset creates a SceneGraphNode that only displays coordinate axes. The coordinate axis normally have a length of 1 meter and are scaled in this example by different values for each axis. The x axis is scaled by a factor of 149597870700, which means they will be 149597870700 m (1 AU) long and thus reaching the same distance as Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The y-axis stays at its original size, and the z-axis will be hidden entirely by setting the scale value close to 0.

local Node = {
  Identifier = "NonUniformStaticScale_Example",
  Transform = {
    Scale = {
      Type = "NonUniformStaticScale",
      Scale = { 149597870700, 1.0, 0.0005 }
    }
  },
  Renderable = {
    Type = "RenderableCartesianAxes"
  },
  GUI = {
    Name = "Basic",
    Path = "/Examples/NonUniformStaticScale"
  }
}

asset.onInitialize(function()
  openspace.addSceneGraphNode(Node)
end)

asset.onDeinitialize(function()
  openspace.removeSceneGraphNode(Node)
end)

Ellipsoid

This asset creates a SceneGraphNode that is rendering a sphere which is adjust to an ellipsoidal shape by using a non-uniform scaling. In particular, the second axis is half as long as the first, and the third axis is a third as long.

local Node = {
  Identifier = "NonUniformStaticScale_Example_Ellipsoid",
  Transform = {
    Scale = {
      Type = "NonUniformStaticScale",
      Scale = { 149597870700, 149597870700 / 2, 149597870700 / 3 }
    }
  },
  Renderable = {
    Type = "RenderableSphericalGrid"
  },
  GUI = {
    Name = "Ellipsoid",
    Path = "/Examples/NonUniformStaticScale"
  }
}

asset.onInitialize(function()
  openspace.addSceneGraphNode(Node)
end)

asset.onDeinitialize(function()
  openspace.removeSceneGraphNode(Node)
end)
