Member Function Documentation

backendTypes()

virtual QStringList Marble::RenderPluginInterface::backendTypes ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the name(s) of the backend that the plugin can render.

This method should return the name of the backend that the plugin can render. The string has to be the same one that is given for the attribute in the layer element of the DGML file that backend is able to process. Examples to replace available default backends would be "vector" or "texture". To provide a completely new kind of functionality please choose your own unique string.

Implemented in Marble::AbstractDataPlugin.

renderPolicy()

virtual QString Marble::RenderPluginInterface::renderPolicy ( ) const

pure virtual

Return how the plugin settings should be used.

FIXME: Document this

Possible Values: "ALWAYS" – the plugin renders at the preferred position no matter what got specified in the DGML file. "SPECIFIED" – renders only in case it got specified in the DGML file. "SPECIFIED_ALWAYS" – In case it got specified in the DGML file render according to the specification otherwise choose the preferred position

Implemented in Marble::AbstractDataPlugin, and Marble::AbstractFloatItem.
