General
Is it possible to run binary plugins
In addition to loading source code plugins World Wind also probes for .dll files inside the Plugins directory that implement the plugin interface. If found they will be displayed in the Plugin Dialog.
Which programming languages are supported
Currently, VB.net, C# and JScript.net in addition to pre-compiled binary plugins.
Troubleshooting
Why doesn't World Wind unload my plugin cleanly
It is the responsibilty of the plugin to restore World Wind to the original state when the plugin is unloaded. For example if the plugin adds menu items, the plugin must remove those menu items when unloading.
How-to
How do I access the layer list (renderable objects)
ParentApplication.WorldWindow.CurrentWorld.ChildObjects
This RenderableObjectLists contains a collection of RenderableObject and RenderableObjectLists making it a tree.
How do I get the location of WW's main directory
MainApplication.DirectoryPath
How do I reference additional assemblies from my plugin
Use the REFERENCES keyword in the Plugin Header.
How do I add my own property dialog for a layer
Override OnPropertiesClick for example like this:
/// <summary> /// Layer properties context menu item /// </summary> protected virtual void OnPropertiesClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if(m_propertyBrowser!=null) m_propertyBrowser.Dispose(); m_propertyBrowser = new MyFancyPropertyDialog(this); m_propertyBrowser.Show(); }
How do I remote control World Wind
ParentApplication.WorldWindow.GotoLatLonAltitude(50.94299, 6.96291, 10000)
How do I retrieve the current position
ParentApplication.WorldWindow.DrawArgs.WorldCamera.Latitude ParentApplication.WorldWindow.DrawArgs.WorldCamera.Longitude
How do I detect what directory my plugin was loaded from
The Plugin base class has a property PluginDirectory that contains the path from which the plugin was loaded. This path may be used to find any additional files you may want to load.
this.PluginDirectory
