The SEDRIS Data Representation Model
APPENDIX A - Classes Strobing Light Behaviour |
---|
An instance of this DRM class specifies that the attributed object appears to be a strobing light.
Consider a model of an airport, in which the data provider wishes to place a strobing light string along a runway. The light emitted is negligible at an ordinary viewing range, in terms of cast shadows and so on, so it is most efficient to represent it as follows.
Since the <Line>'s count is greater than zero, it does not appear to be solid; each of its <Vertex> components is shown independently. The light_diameter in pixels is not applicable, and the light is visible at any distance since no extingishing range is specified. The runway lights will always be on, unless a <Light Rendering Properties Control Link> is added. The lights strobe every two seconds.

SE_Long_Float | period; | (notes) |
---|---|---|
SE_Long_Float | delay; | (notes) |
The period field specifies, in seconds, the total period of time (both on and off).
The delay field specifies, in seconds, what might be characterized as a pre-start; it allows a series of lights to appear asynchronous.
