annotate - Writes text to a panel
| text= | annotation string. This string can contain HTML tags such as paragraph <p>, line break <br>, emphasize/italicize <em>, and bold <b> |
| lat=, lon= | center text string at specified latitude and longitude (must be used together) -or- |
| line=, element= | center text string at specified panel line and element (must be used together) |
| font= | name of font; default is system dependent, this uses the default defined in User Preferences |
| size= | size of font; default = size of font defined in user preferences |
| style= | style of font; default = style of font defined in user preferences 'BOLD' 'ITALIC' 'NONE' |
| color= | sets the color of the text. There are two ways this can be set: 'color name'; default = 'red' -or- [R,G,B] fractional scaling factor for each red, green and blue value (0 to 255). For example, [255,0,0] |
alignment= | sets the location of the text with respect to the latitude/longitude or line/element combination entered. The format is alignment=(horizontal,vertical). For horizontal, values of "left", "right", and "center" can be used. For vertical, values of "top", "bottom" and "center" can be used. The default is alignment=("center","center") which means the text will be centered at the location of the latitude/longitude or line/element values. |
| bgColor= | sets the background color of the text. default=None There are two ways this can be set: 'color name'. For example, 'green' -or- [R,G,B] fractional scaling factor for each red, green and blue value (0 to 255). For example, [0,255,0] |
setCenter - Centers the display on a specified latitude/longitude and sets a scaling factor
| lat= | centers the display at the specified latitude (no default, required parameter) |
| lon= | centers the display at the specified longitude (no default, required parameter) |
| scale= | scale factor for map; default = current scale factor |
setProjection - Sets the projection of a panel
| projection= | string specifying the projection; e.g., 'US>Southeastern U.S.' or the name of the layer returned from createLayer, which uses the default projection of that data. Alternatively, a layer object can be passed through this keyword. For example, if a layer was defined as myLayer when running createLayer, passing 'myLayer' through the projection keyword would set the projection to the native projection of the myLayer layer. |
setViewpoint - Sets the viewpoint of a panel
| viewpointName= | string specifying the viewpoint; e.g., 'Viewpoint1'. This works in conjunction with the Projections->Viewpoints menu item in the Main Display window. |
setWireframe - Turns wire frame box on or off
| visible= | sets the visibility of the wireframe box True - displays the wireframe box False - does not display the wireframe box |
setMapVisibilityByDescription - Sets the visibility of individual maps in the display
| description= | the map to be added or removed from the display. The description matches the names of the maps in the Layer Controls. |
| visibility= | sets the visibility of the map defined in the description keyword True - displays the map False - does not display the map |
setMapLayerVisibility - Sets the visibility of the entire map layer in the display
| visibility= | sets the visibility of the map layer in the display True - displays the map False - does not display the map |
getMapLayer - Obtains a reference to the map layer in the display
