Description

This sample shows how to read and display terrain data and symbols in a 3D View using the API.

How to Use the Sample

In the 3D View, use the mouse wheel to change the distance of the terrain, the right mouse button to rotate the camera about its target point, and the left mouse button to move the camera (traveling). You can also use the interactors in the panel on the right of the 3D View

You can hide and show symbols in both 2D and 3D Views by interacting with the symbology panel on the left of the 2D View.

How to Run the Sample as an Application

This sample can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, 3dview.jar, that allows you to execute the sample with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the sample application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Rogue Wave JViews.
