== Utilising the globe control ==
 
=== Including MariaGlobeMapControl ===
 
Create a WPF Application, and add reference to the '''''TPG.Maria.MariaGlobeMapControl''''' package. <br/>
For NuGet details, see ''[[Basic map client|Maria Basic Map Client]]''.
 
Add the '''''MariaGlobeMapControl''''' to the Main window xaml.
 
<source lang="xml">
<Window x:Class="MariaGlobeClient.MainWindow"
        . . .
        Title="MariaGlobeClient" Height="600" Width="600">
    <Grid>
        <MariaGlobeMapControl x:Name="MariaGlobeCtrl" Background="#E9ECFA"                     
                    Layers="{Binding Layers}"
                    MiniMapLayer="{Binding MapViewModel.MiniMapLayer, Mode=OneWay}"
                    CenterScale="{Binding MapViewModel.CenterScale}"
                    CenterPosition="{Binding MapViewModel.CenterPosition}"
                    MouseMoveDistanceToStartTracking="0"
                    ZoomOnDblClick="False"
                    DegreeToLockRotateAndScale="2"
                    PercentageToLockScaleOnly="2.0"
                    Is3DMode="False"
                    IsRulerVisible="True"
                    IsCenterPositionIndicatorEnabled="True"
                    IsMiniMapVisible="True" />
    </Grid>
</Window>
</source>
 
=== Add view models ===
 
* Add a view model class (''MainViewModel'') for communication with the Maria component, and another (''MapViewModel'') for map handling. Both including inheritance of '''''ViewModelBase''''', for details see [[Map_interaction_client/Prepare_your_application_for_interactions|''Prepare your application for interactions'']].
 
* Set the data context of your client window to the '''''MainViewModel''''', and implement an event handler for the '''''WindowClosing''''' event. For details see [[Basic map client|Maria Basic Map Client]].
 
==== MainViewModel ====
 
Extend the inheritances to include the '''''IMariaGlobeMapViewModel''''' and implement the interface.
 
<source lang="c#">
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase, IMariaGlobeMapViewModel
{
    public IGlobeMapManager GlobeMapManager { get; }
    public IDrawObjectLayerFactory DrawObjectLayerFactory { get; private set; }
    public IGlobeMapViewModel GlobeMapViewModel { get; set; }
...
</source>
 
Add the following fields and properties:
 
<source lang="c#">
. . .
    private IMariaMapLayer _mapLayer;
    private IMariaMapLayer _miniMapLayer;
 
    public MapViewModel MapViewModel { get; }
    public ObservableCollection<IMariaLayer> Layers { get; set; }
. . .
</source>
 
In the constructor:
* initialise the Layer property
* set up the map services
* create the GlobeMapManager
* create map layer, mini-map layer and add to the '''''Layers''''' property
* instanciate the MapViewModel
 
 
<source lang="c#">
...
public MainViewModel()
{
    Layers = new ObservableCollection<IMariaLayer>();
 
    IBindingFactory bindingFactory = new BindingFactory();
    IEndpointAddressFactory endpointAddressFactory = new EndpointAddressFactory();
 
    // Set up template client
    var mapTemplateServiceClient = new MapTemplateServiceClientFactory(
        bindingFactory,
        endpointAddressFactory).New("http://tpg-mariagdktest:9008/maptemplates", BindingType.BasicHttp);
 
    // Set up catalog service client and connect to service
    var mapCatalogServiceClient = new MapCatalogServiceClient(
        bindingFactory.New(BindingType.BasicHttp),
        endpointAddressFactory.New("http://tpg-mariagdktest:9008/catalog"));
 
    GlobeMapManager = new GlobeMapManager(mapCatalogServiceClient, mapTemplateServiceClient);
    GlobeMapManager.TileCacheManager.MaxCacheSize = 250;
 
    _mapLayer = new MapLayer(GlobeMapManager);
    _miniMapLayer = new MapLayer(GlobeMapManager);
    Layers.Add(_mapLayer);
 
    MapViewModel = new MapViewModel(_mapLayer, _miniMapLayer);
}
 
</source>
 
Make the class disposable by including and implementing  '''''IDisposable'''''.
 
<source lang="c#">
...
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase, IMariaGlobeMapViewModel, IDisposable
{
...
    public void Dispose()
    {
        _mapLayer?.Dispose();
        _miniMapLayer?.Dispose();
        GlobeMapViewModel?.Dispose();
    }
</source>
 
==== MapViewModel ====
 
Add the following fields and properties:
 
<source lang="c#">
...
    private readonly IMariaMapLayer _mapLayer;
 
    public IMariaMapLayer MiniMapLayer { get; private set; }
    public GeoPos CenterPosition { get; set; }     
    public double CenterScale { get; set; }
...
</source>
 
Create a constructor, taking map layer and and mini-map layer as parameters and initialising map and mini-map event handling.
 
<source lang="c#">
public MapViewModel(IMariaMapLayer mapLayer, IMariaMapLayer miniMapLayer)
{
    _mapLayer = mapLayer;
 
    if (_mapLayer != null)
        _mapLayer.LayerInitialized += OnMapLayerInitialized;
 
    MiniMapLayer = miniMapLayer;
    if (MiniMapLayer != null)
        MiniMapLayer.LayerInitialized += OnMiniMapLayerInitialized;
}
</source>
 
Implement the '''''LayerInitialized''''' event handlers for the map and mini map.
 
<source lang="c#">
...
    private void OnMapLayerInitialized()
    {
        CenterPosition = new GeoPos(59.908358, 10.628190); // TPG - Lysaker
        CenterScale = 500000;
 
        _mapLayer.ActiveMapTemplate = _mapLayer.ActiveMapTemplates.Any() ? _mapLayer.ActiveMapTemplates.First() : null;
    }
 
    private void OnMiniMapLayerInitialized()
    {
        MiniMapLayer.ActiveMapTemplate = _mapLayer.ActiveMapTemplates.Any() ? _mapLayer.ActiveMapTemplates.First() : null;
    }
...
</source>
 
=== Running the globe client ===
 
Running your application, the window area should now include 2D map information and mini map - and you should be able to navigate the map!
 
[[File:Globe_First-2D.PNG|none|frame|Globe client with 2D map]]
 
To start the globe client in #D mode, Change the '''''Is3DMode''''' property of the '''''MariaGlobeMapControl''''' to ''True'', and start the application again.<br>
 
The window area should now include 3D map information - and you should be able to navigate the 3D-map!
 
 
[[File:Globe_First-3D.PNG|none|frame|Globe client with 3D map]]
 
== Map interaction ==
 
=== Map utilities ===
The different map utilities can be turned on/off programatically e.g. through User controlls.
 
Here is an example of adding check boxes with direct binding to the '''''MariaGlobeMapControl''''' from your main window.

                                                  IsMiniMapVisible="True" />
    </Grid>
</Grid>
...
</source>
 
=== Map settings ===
 
Your map service will most likely contain different map templates, and you would like to select the template to be used.<br>
In we will create a list of templates to chose from, display the current center position and scale, and also choose the display mode - 2D or 3D.
 
Add the following to your Main Window XAML:
 
<source lang="xml">
...
<GroupBox Header="Map Settings">
    <Grid Margin="3">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />                     
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ComboBox Name="cmbActiveMap" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="0,0,0,5"
                  Width="Auto" Height="Auto" MinWidth="200"
                  VerticalAlignment="Top"
                  ItemsSource="{Binding MapViewModel.AvailableMapTemplateNames}"
                  SelectedItem="{Binding MapViewModel.ActiveMapTemplateName}"
                  IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="true" />
 
        <Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
              Content="Mode" FontWeight="DemiBold"/>
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
            <RadioButton Name="Btn2D"
                        Content="2D"
                        IsChecked="True"
                        Command="{Binding Set2DModeCommand, ElementName=MariaGlobeCtrl}" />
            <RadioButton Name="Btn3D"
                        Content="3D"                                     
                        Command="{Binding Set3DModeCommand, ElementName=MariaGlobeCtrl}" />
        </StackPanel>
 
        <Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0"  FontWeight="DemiBold">
            <TextBlock>
                Center<LineBreak/>
                Scale
            </TextBlock>
        </Label>
        <TextBox Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                Text="{Binding MapViewModel.CenterScale, StringFormat=N1}"
                IsReadOnly="True" />
 
        <Label Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0"  FontWeight="DemiBold">
            <TextBlock>
                Center<LineBreak/>
                Position
            </TextBlock>
        </Label>
        <TextBox Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                Text="{Binding MapViewModel.CenterPosition, Mode=OneWay}"
                IsReadOnly="True" />
 
    </Grid>
</GroupBox>
...
</source>
 
Extend the '''''MapViewModel''''' with:
* fields and properties to handle display of available map templates
* '''''initialized''''' event handlers with initialisation and selection of templates
* '''''CenterPosition''''' and '''''CenterScale''''' properties with notification handling.

=== Running with map interaction ===
 
Running your application, observe the following:
* the map utilities are shown/hidden according to the corresponding check boxes
* the center position and scale are updated when panning/zooming the map
* the map template drop-down list contains available map templates
* the map display changes according to selected map template
* the map display changes according to deleted mode

== Draw object interaction ==
 
In this section, we will create and update three different draw objects, a area object, a line object, and a point object, and see how they are presented in 2D and 3D mode.
 
=== Adding draw object layer and draw object view model ===
 
To be able to display draw objects, we need to include a draw object layer in the globe client.
 
First, add a view model class, '''''DrawObjectViewModel''''', to handle the draw object interaction:
 
* Inheriting '''''ViewModelBase'''''
* Add a constructor taking a draw layer object as input
* Create and implement event handlers for:
** '''''LayerInitialized''''' event
** '''''ServiceConnected''''' event
 
<source lang="C#">
public class DrawObjectViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    private IMariaDrawObjectLayer _drawObjectLayer;
    private IMariaService _drawObjectService;
 
    public DrawObjectViewModel(DrawObjectLayer drawObjectLayer)
    {
        _drawObjectLayer = drawObjectLayer;
        _drawObjectLayer.LayerInitialized += DrawObjectLayer_LayerInitialized;
        _drawObjectLayer.ServiceConnected += DrawObjectLayer_ServiceConnected;
    }
 
    private void DrawObjectLayer_LayerInitialized()
    {
        _drawObjectService = new MariaService(
            "DrawObjectService",
            "http://localhost:9008/drawobjects",
            BindingType.BasicHttp);
 
        _drawObjectLayer.DrawObjectServices = new ObservableCollection<IMariaService> { _drawObjectService };
 
        _drawObjectLayer.CreateDrawObjectList("local", true);
    }
 
    private void DrawObjectLayer_ServiceConnected(object sender, MariaServiceEventArgs args)
    {
        _drawObjectLayer.ActiveDrawObjectService = _drawObjectLayer.DrawObjectServices[0];
 
        _drawObjectLayer.CreateDrawObjectList("test", false);
        _drawObjectLayer.ActiveDrawObjectList = "test";
    }
}
</source>
 
In the '''''MainViewModel''''', add a draw object layer field, and in the constructor, add creation of the layer and '''''DrawObjectViewModel'''''  and add the layer to the '''''Layers''''' list.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
public DrawObjectViewModel DrawObjectViewModel { get; private set; }
 
public MainViewModel()
{
    ...
    DrawObjectLayerFactory = new DrawObjectLayerFactory();
    _drawObjectLayer = new DrawObjectLayer(GlobeMapManager, DrawObjectLayerFactory, true)
        { InitializeCreationWorkflows = true };
    DrawObjectViewModel = new DrawObjectViewModel(_drawObjectLayer);
    Layers.Add(_drawObjectLayer);
}
...
</source>
 
=== Draw object utilities ===
 
Add the following GUI elements to your main window:
* Button for adding/updating a volume object.
* Button for adding/updating a line object.
* Button for adding/updating a point object.
 
 
The XAML could look something like this:
 
<source lang="xml">
...
<GroupBox Header="Draw Object" >
    <StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Top">
        <Button Margin="3"                       
                Content="Volume"
                Command="{Binding VolumeTestCmd}"/>
        <Button Margin="3"                       
                Content="Line"
                Command="{Binding LineTestCmd}"/>
        <Button Margin="3"                       
                Content="Point"
                Command="{Binding PointTestCmd}"/>   
    </StackPanel>
</GroupBox>
...
</source>
 
<source lang="C#">
...
...
</source>
 
Implement command handler and command handler delegate in '''''DrawObjectViewModel'''''.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
public ICommand VolumeTestCmd { get { return new DelegateCommand(DrawObjectViewModel.CreateOrUpdateVolumeObject); } }
public ICommand LineTestCmd { get { return new DelegateCommand(DrawObjectViewModel.CreateOrUpdateLineObject); } }
public ICommand PointTestCmd { get { return new DelegateCommand(DrawObjectViewModel.CreateOrUpdatePointObject); } }
 
public void CreateOrUpdatePointObject(object obj)

    var pos = RandomProvider.GetRandomPosition(_drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect);
 
    var altitude = RandomProvider.GetRandomInt(1, 5) * 500.0;
 
    var pointObject = _drawObjectLayer.DrawObjectFactory.CreateTacticalGraphic("STBOPS.OPN.HJKG.APL");
    pointObject.TacticalDataFields.StandardIdentity = StandardIdentity.Hostile;
    pointObject.TacticalDataFields.Name = "Globe-Point";
    pointObject.Id = new ItemId("local", "Globe-Point");
 
    pointObject.Points[0] = new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pos.Lat, Longitude = pos.Lon, Altitude = altitude };
    _drawObjectLayer.UpdateStore(pointObject);
}
 
public void CreateOrUpdateVolumeObject(object obj)
{
 
    var volumeObject = _drawObjectLayer.DrawObjectFactory.CreateTacticalGraphic("TACGRP.FSUPP.ARS.C2ARS.ACA.IRR");
    volumeObject.TacticalDataFields.StandardIdentity = StandardIdentity.Friendly;
    volumeObject.Id = new ItemId("local", "Globe-Volume");
 
    var pos = RandomProvider.GetRandomPosition(_drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect, 0.8);
    var factorLat = _drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect.DeltaLat * RandomProvider.GetRandomDouble(0.05, 0.1);
    var factorLon = _drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect.DeltaLon * RandomProvider.GetRandomDouble(0.05, 0.1);
 
    volumeObject.Points = new GeoPoint[] {
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pos.Lat + factorLat, Longitude = pos.Lon + factorLon },
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pos.Lat + factorLat, Longitude = pos.Lon - factorLon },
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pos.Lat - factorLat, Longitude = pos.Lon - factorLon },
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pos.Lat - factorLat, Longitude = pos.Lon + factorLon },
    };
 
    _drawObjectLayer.UpdateStore(volumeObject);
}
 
public void CreateOrUpdateLineObject(object obj)
{
    var lineObject = _drawObjectLayer.DrawObjectFactory.CreatePolyLine(new ItemId("local", "Globe-Line"));
    var pt0 = RandomProvider.GetRandomPosition(_drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect, 0.5);
    var pt1 = RandomProvider.GetRandomPosition(_drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect, 0.5);
    var pt2 = RandomProvider.GetRandomPosition(_drawObjectLayer.GeoContext.Viewport.GeoRect, 0.5);
 
    lineObject.Points = new GeoPoint[] {
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pt0.Lat, Longitude = pt0.Lon, Altitude = RandomProvider.GetRandomInt(1, 5) * 500.0 },
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pt1.Lat, Longitude = pt1.Lon, Altitude = RandomProvider.GetRandomInt(1, 5) * 500.0 },
        new GeoPoint() { Latitude = pt2.Lat, Longitude = pt2.Lon, Altitude = RandomProvider.GetRandomInt(1, 5) * 500.0 },
    };

The '''''RandomProvider''''' class is described in context with [[Map_interaction_client/Track_layer_interaction#Create_tracks| ''Map interaction client, track creation''. ]]
 
=== Draw object styling ===
 
Add a draw object style xml file to your project, and include it as a resource. You can find style xml to use [[Draw_object_style_xml| '''here''']]
 
Add the resource to the draw object layer in the '''''LayerInitialized''''' event handler in '''''DrawObjectViewModel'''''.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
private void DrawObjectLayer_LayerInitialized()
{
    _drawObjectLayer.StyleXml = Properties.Resources.DrawObjectStyle;
...
</source>
 
=== Running with draw object interaction ===
 
Running your application, observe the following:
* Pressing the draw object buttons, draw objects created / moved around in the map area.
* In 2D mode, the objects can also be selected and moved/resized manually.

== Track interaction ==
 
In this section, we will create and update a track, and observe the presentation in  2D and 3D mode.
 
=== Adding draw object layer and draw object view model ===
 
To be able to display tracks, we need to include a track layer in the globe client.
 
First, add a view model class, '''''TrackViewModel''''', to handle the draw object interaction:
 
* Inheriting ViewModelBase
* Add a constructor taking a draw layer object as input
* Create and implement event handlers for:
** '''''LayerInitialized''''' event
** '''''ServiceConnected''''' event
 
<source lang="C#">
public class TrackViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
    private TrackLayer _trackLayer;
    private MariaService _trackService;
 
    public TrackViewModel(TrackLayer trackLayer)
    {
        _trackLayer = trackLayer;
 
        _trackLayer.LayerInitialized += TrackLayer_LayerInitialized;
        _trackLayer.ServiceConnected += TrackLayer_ServiceConnected;
    }
 
    private void TrackLayer_LayerInitialized()
    {
        _trackService = new MariaService("TrackService", "http://localhost:9008/tracks", BindingType.BasicHttp);
        _trackLayer.TrackServices = new ObservableCollection<IMariaService> { _trackService };
    }
 
    private void TrackLayer_ServiceConnected(object sender, MariaServiceEventArgs args)
    {
        _trackLayer.ActiveTrackService = _trackLayer.TrackServices[0];
        _trackLayer.ExtendedTrackLayer.TrackRefreshInterval = 1000;
 
        _trackLayer.TrackLists = new ObservableCollection<string>(_trackLayer.GetTrackLists());
 
        if (!_trackLayer.TrackLists.Contains("globeTest"))
            _trackLayer.TrackLists.Add("globeTest");
 
        _trackLayer.ActiveTrackList = "globeTest";
    }
}
</source>
 
In the '''''MainViewModel''''', add a track layer field, and in the constructor, add creation of the layer and '''''TrackViewModel''''',  and add the layer to the '''''Layers''''' list.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
public TrackViewModel TrackViewModel { get; private set; }
 
public MainViewModel()
{
    ...
    _trackLayer = new TrackLayer(GlobeMapManager);
    TrackViewModel = new TrackViewModel(_trackLayer);
    Layers.Add(_trackLayer);
}
...
</source>
 
=== Track utilities ===
 
Add the following GUI elements to your main window:
* Button for adding/updating the track
* Check box to enable/disable automatic track update (simulate movement)
 
The XAML could look something like this:
 
<source lang="xml">
...
<GroupBox Header="Track">
    <StackPanel>
        <Button Margin="3"                       
                Content="Track"
                Command="{Binding TrackViewModel.TrackTestCmd}"/>
        <CheckBox Margin="3"
                  Content="Auto update"
                  IsChecked="{Binding TrackViewModel.AutoUpdateActive}"/>
    </StackPanel>
</GroupBox>
...
</source>
 
In '''''TrackViewModel''''' implement:
* command handler and command handler delegate in for the track update button
* auto update property with timer, initialised in during the '''''LayerInitialized''''' event handler.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
private bool _autoUpdateActive;
Timer _autoUpdateTimer;

=== Track styling ===
 
Add a track style xml file to your project, and include it as a resource. You can find style xml to use [[Track_style_xml| '''here''']]
 
Add the resource to the track layer in the '''''LayerInitialized''''' event handler in '''''TrackViewModel'''''.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
private void TrackLayer_LayerInitialized()
{
    _trackLayer.StyleXml = Properties.Resources.TrackStyle;
...
</source>
 
=== Running with track interaction ===
 
Running your application, observe the following:
* Pressing the track button, the track is created/moved around in the map area.
* The track button is disabled while auto-update is activated.

== Auto follow ==
 
In this section, we will utilise the globe control auto follow functionality.
 
; 2D
:* valid for tracks and all draw object types
:* the specified object will always be displayed with its center point in the center of the screen.
:* if the item position is changed, the map area will be adjusted accordingly.
; 3D
:* valid for tracks and point objects only
 
=== Auto follow control and display ===
 
Add the following GUI elements to your main window:
* Check box to enable/disable auto follow
* Text box for display of currently followed item
 
The XAML could look something like this:
 
<source lang="xml">
...
<GroupBox Header="Auto follow">
    <StackPanel>
        <CheckBox Margin="3"
                  Content="Follow selected"
                  IsChecked="{Binding IsAutoFollowActive}" />
        <Label Content="Currently followed:" FontWeight="DemiBold" />
        <TextBox Margin="3"
                Text="{Binding AutoFollowItemName, Mode=OneWay}"
                IsReadOnly="True"/>
    </StackPanel>
</GroupBox>
...
</source>
 
In '''''MainViewModel''''' implement:
* Auto follow property,
* auto update property with timer, initialised in during the '''''LayerInitialized''''' event handler.
 
<source lang="C#">
...
public bool IsAutoFollowActive
{
    get
    {
        return GlobeMapViewModel.AutoFollow.TargetItem != null;
    }
 
    set
    {
        if (!(value && GlobeMapViewModel.AutoFollow.FollowSelectedItem()))
            GlobeMapViewModel.AutoFollow.TargetItem = null;
 
        NotifyPropertyChanged(() => IsAutoFollowActive);
        NotifyPropertyChanged(() => AutoFollowItemName);
    }
}
 
public string AutoFollowItemName
{
    get
    {
        if (GlobeMapViewModel?.AutoFollow?.TargetItem != null)
        {
            return GlobeMapViewModel.AutoFollow.TargetItem.ToString();
        }
 
        return "Inactive";
    }
}
...
</source>
 
=== Running with auto follow ===
 
Activating/deactivating auto follow functionality, observe the following:
* in 3D mode, tracks and point objects only can be selected.
* the map will re-position to the activated item if the map is panned.
* the map will re-position to the activated item if the item is moved.
* the  activated item will stay activated also when deselected in the map and when another item is selected.
** To activate another item - deactivate, then activate the new item.

== Display service connection info ==


Working with services may sometimes cause problems.


Here is an additional part, including display of service connection information.
[[Category:Creating applications]]
 
For each service you are connecting to, add the following GUI elements to your main window:
 
* Text box displaying the service connection URI.
* Text block displaying the connection status.
 
The XAML could look something like this:
 
<source lang="xml">
...
<GroupBox Header="Service connections">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="auto" />

        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
            <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
            <ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />

                  Text="{Binding DrawObjectViewModel.DrawObjectServiceStatus}" TextAlignment="Center"/>
    </Grid>
</GroupBox>

In the respective view models, add:
* URI string property (get only)

Maria Globe Client

These pages describe how to create a Maria GDK map client utilising MariaGlobeMapControl with 2D and 3D visualisation of map, tracks and draw objects.

General

Note
  • You will need to include the TPG.MariaGDK3D NuGet package. (Currently available Teleplan Globe internal only)
For more info, see Loading Maria GDK, NuGet Packages
  • Sample code is found in the MariaGlobeClient project, in the Sample Projects solution.
  • Note that the sample code is specifying the service connections in code, and not by app.config.
  • For general troubleshooting, see Development troubleshooting

Sections

The following main topics are handled
1. Utilising the globe control

Globe First-3D.PNG

2. Map interaction

Map Pref 3D.PNG

3. Draw object interaction
