Detailed Description

This is the common base class for all the main components of stellarium.

Standard StelModules are the one displaying the stars, the constellations, the planets etc.. Every new module derived class should implement the methods defined in StelModule.hpp. Once a module is registered into the StelModuleMgr, it is automatically managed by the program. It can be called using the GETSTELMODULE macro, passing as argument its name, which is also the QObject name Because StelModules are very generic components, it is also possible to load them dynamically, thus enabling creation of external plug-ins for stellarium.

See Also: StelObjectModule for StelModule managing collections of StelObject.; Plugins for documentation on how to develop external plugins.

There are several signals that StelApp emits that subclasses may be interested in: laguageChanged() Update i18n strings from english names according to current global sky and application language. This method also reload the proper fonts depending on the language. The translation shall be done using the StelTranslator provided by the StelApp singleton instance. skyCultureChanged(const QString&) Update sky culture, i.e. load data if necessary and translate them to current sky language if needed. colorSchemeChanged(const QString&) Load the given color style

enum StelModule::StelModuleSelectAction

Enum used when selecting objects to define whether to add to, replace, or remove from the existing selection list.

Enumerator

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool StelModule::configureGui ( bool show = true )

inlinevirtual

Detect or show the configuration GUI elements for the module.

This is to be used with plugins to display a configuration dialog from the plugin list window.

Parameters

show	if true, make the configuration GUI visible. If false, hide the config GUI if there is one.

Returns: true if the module has a configuration GUI, else false.

Reimplemented in Satellites, Supernovae, Exoplanets, Quasars, Pulsars, TelescopeControl, SolarSystemEditor, Oculars, LogBook, Observability, and TimeZoneConfiguration.

Definition at line 141 of file StelModule.hpp.

virtual void StelModule::deinit ( )

inlinevirtual

Called before the module will be deleted, and before the renderer is destroyed.

Deinitialize all textures in this method.

Reimplemented in Satellites, Supernovae, TelescopeControl, SolarSystemEditor, Pulsars, Exoplanets, Oculars, Quasars, and TimeZoneConfiguration.

Definition at line 65 of file StelModule.hpp.

virtual void StelModule::draw	(	StelCore *	core,
		class StelRenderer *	renderer
	)

inlinevirtual

Execute all the drawing functions for this module.

Parameters

core	the core to use for the drawing
renderer	Renderer to draw with.

Reimplemented in Satellites, GridLinesMgr, ScreenImageMgr, ConstellationMgr, StarMgr, Supernovae, SolarSystemEditor, TelescopeControl, LandscapeMgr, Pulsars, SolarSystem, Exoplanets, Oculars, Quasars, NebulaMgr, LabelMgr, StelMovementMgr, MeteorMgr, LogBook, MilkyWay, StelSkyLayerMgr, StelObjectMgr, AngleMeasure, TextUserInterface, CompassMarks, RendererStatistics, Observability, HelloStelModule, and SimpleDrawLine.

Definition at line 70 of file StelModule.hpp.

virtual bool StelModule::drawPartial	(	StelCore *	core,
		class StelRenderer *	renderer
	)

virtual

Iterate through the drawing sequence.

This allow us to split the slow drawing operation into small parts, we can then decide to pause the painting for this frame and used the cached image instead.

Returns: true if we should continue drawing (by calling the method again)

virtual QString StelModule::getAuthorEmail ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the email adress of the module author.

Definition at line 93 of file StelModule.hpp.

virtual QString StelModule::getAuthorName ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the name of the module author.

Definition at line 90 of file StelModule.hpp.

virtual double StelModule::getCallOrder ( StelModuleActionName actionName ) const

inlinevirtual

Return the value defining the order of call for the given action For example if stars.callOrder[ActionDraw] == 10 and constellation.callOrder[ActionDraw] == 11, the stars module will be drawn before the constellations.

Parameters

actionName the name of the action for which we want the call order

Returns: the value defining the order. The closer to 0 the earlier the module's action will be called

Reimplemented in Satellites, GridLinesMgr, ScreenImageMgr, ConstellationMgr, StarMgr, LandscapeMgr, Supernovae, SolarSystemEditor, TelescopeControl, SolarSystem, NebulaMgr, Exoplanets, Pulsars, Quasars, Oculars, LabelMgr, MeteorMgr, MilkyWay, StelSkyLayerMgr, LogBook, AngleMeasure, TextUserInterface, CompassMarks, RendererStatistics, Observability, TimeZoneConfiguration, HelloStelModule, and SimpleDrawLine.

virtual QString StelModule::getModuleVersion ( ) const

virtual

Get the version of the module, default is stellarium main version.

virtual void StelModule::handleKeys ( class QKeyEvent * e )

inlinevirtual

Handle key events.

Please note that most of the interactions will be done through the GUI module.

Parameters

e	the Key event

Returns: set the event as accepted if it was intercepted
