KMLTourBuilder

The name of the Tour object that will be displayed in the navigation tree of a KML Viewer such as Google Earth. If the value of the Tour Name comes from an attribute, all features sharing a common attribute value will be grouped into the same tour. It is possible for the KMLTourBuilder to build several tours if there are different attribute values.

The time, in seconds, for the entire tour. The duration of a tour has two components: flying time and waiting time (if wait delays are used). The flying time is calculated as the specified tour duration less the total wait times. The flying time between each tour stop will be calculated such that the velocity of the tour is approximately constant.

Smooth: The flying velocity will remain constant for the entire tour.

Bounce: The flying velocity will be gradually reduced to zero as the tour reaches each stop.

This parameter specifies whether the feature's balloon should be popped up as the tour reaches the tour stop, and then hidden when the tour departs the tour stop.

The balloon will only display when the flight velocity has reached zero, so this option is best used with either a Wait or Pause delay.

Specifies the type of delay at each tour stop.

If the Type is set to Wait, the tour will briefly stop at each tour stop for the number of seconds specified in the delay duration. If the Type is set to Pause, the tour will stop at each tour stop until the user presses the play button on the tour control of a KML Viewer such as Google Earth.

The number of seconds to stop if the Type parameter is set to Wait.

Specifies the user's perspective for the entire tour:

• Third Person: the view will be from a point that orbits the tour stop.
• First Person: the view will be from the exact location of the tour stop.

Specifies the distance, in meters, from the view point to the tour stop location in the Third Person perspective.

If the value is <calculate>, the range value will be calculated such that user's view includes the tour stop, as well as a portion of the remaining tour. The calculated range is constant for every tour stop.

Specifies the direction (azimuth) of the view, in degrees, relative to North. If the value is <calculate>, the heading value will be calculated such the heading for the current tour stop is in the direction of the next tour stop.

Specifies the rotation, in degrees, of the view around the X axis. A value of 0 indicates that the view is aimed straight down, and a value of 90 indicates that the view is aimed toward the horizon. Values greater than 90 only apply if the View Perspective is First Person, and indicate that the view is pointed towards the sky. If the value is <calculate>, the tilt value will be calculated such the tilt for the current stop is in the direction of the next stop.
