ISKernel:navworld (Data Type)

Description

This data types provides information about navigation worlds.

Members

• int LastID: The highest point ID number in this world
• navpoint NearestPoint[x]: For use in a single coordinate plane system, retrieves the nearest point to (x,0,0)
• navpoint NearestPoint[x,y]: Retrieves the nearest point to (x,y,0)
• navpoint NearestPoint[x,y,z]: Retrieves the nearest point to (x,y,z)
• navpoint Point[name]: Retrieves the point with the given name
• navpoint Point[#]: Retrieves the point with this ID number
• int Points: Total number of points in this world

Methods

• Set[name,x]: For use in a single coordinate plane system, sets a point with the given name at (x,0,0)
• Set[name,x,y]: Sets a point with the given name at (x,y,0)
• Set[name,x,y,z]: Sets a point with the given name at (x,y,z)
• Export[filename]: Exports a world to <filename>

Examples

Retrieve total number of points in this world

• echo ${Navigation.World[earth].Points}

This command returns the total number of points in a world, all paths included

Retrieve the location of a point in a world

• echo X: ${Navigation.World[earth].Point[Michigan].X} Y: ${Navigation.World[earth].Point[Michigan].Y}

Output

X: -341.77 Y: -2743.61

Find the nearest point to coordinate X

• echo Nearest Point to -341: ${Navigation.World[earth].NearestPoint[-341]

Output

Nearest Point to -341: Michigan

Find how many points are in the world

• echo Total Points: ${Navigation.World[earth].LastID}

Output

Total Points: 59

Note: This can be fooled if ID numbers are not set sequentially

Create a point in a world

• Navigation.World[earth]:Set[Alaska,-5402,-2102]

This command will create a point named "Alaska" at -5402,-2102,0 in the world "earth"

Retrieve navpoint information by #

• echo Point 13 is ${Navigation.World[earth].Point[13]

output

Point 13 is Cincinatti
