| <h1>Google Earth Preferences</h1> |
| <p> |
| Specifies the preferences used by the STEM to GoogleEarth interface. |
| <p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>Choose the Method used to display STEM Results</em></li> |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>LogOnly</em><br>With this option, the KML files |
| are written but not displayed by GoogleEarth. |
| This would be used when you are either going to display |
| the GoogleEarth visualization at a later time or if you are |
| going to run GoogleEarth from another system with the KML |
| files on a shared disk.</li> |
| <li><em>"Log+Servlet"</em><br>With this option, |
| the KML files are written and then displayed by GoogleEarth. |
| GoogleEarth actually requests the file from a webserver |
| Servlet which reads the file and sends it to GoogleEarth.</li> |
| <li><em>"AsyncServlet"</em><br>The KML is written on every cycle, |
| overlaying the file written for the previous cycle. GoogleEarth |
| asks for new data on a predetermined interval and is sent the |
| current KML. The advantage over the previous method is that |
| it helps keep GoogleEarth from falling too far behind the STEM processing.</li> |
| <li><em>"DirectLaunch"</em><br>With this option, the KML files |
| are directly sent to GoogleEarth without using an intermediate |
| web server. This can cause problems because GoogleEarth may get |
| files faster than it can process them but it is more efficient.</li> |
| <li><em>"ManualDisplay"</em><br> The map is generated by user |
| clicking the <b>Display</b> button. This is the default option.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li><em>"Folder for KML logging:"</em>This is the folder where |
| STEM will write the KML files that GoogleEarth will read. |
| If it already contains KML files, the user will be given |
| the oportunity to delete them, keep them or choose a new folder.</li> |
| <li><em>"Use internal webserver"</em><br>This is used to cause the |
| webserver built into Eclipse to be used.</li> |
| <li><em>"Hostname:port for external webserver"</em> |
| <br>This is the required hostname and port for an external webserver. |
| Normally the internal webserver would be used so this is not needed |
| but there are cases where one might want to use an existing web server. </li> |
| <li><em>"Automatically startup GoogleEarth"</em> |
| <br>If specified then when the STEM-GoogleEarth view is started, |
| then the GoogleEarth application is also launched.</li> |
| <li><em>"Automatically process every simulation"</em> |
| <br>if specified, then when you start any simulation running, |
| it will automatically have its processing be mapped to GoogleEarth. |
| Only one simulation will be displayed by GE since it would |
| be counterproductive to show 2 different views at the same time. </li> |
| <li><em>"Write KML files only every N th cycle"</em> |
| <br>If the simulation does not change rapidly from cycle to cycle, |
| significant overhead can be saved by only sending data to |
| GoogleEarth every Nth cycle.</li> |
| <li><em>"Chose Aspect to be Logged.cycle"</em> |
| <br>Select the disease aspect to be displayed as colored polygons |
| on the GoogleEarth map.</li> |
| </ul> |
