Provides access to members that manipulate globe display rendering. Note: the IGlobeDisplayRendering interface has been superseded byIGlobeDisplayRendering2. Please consider using the more recent version.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

IGlobeDisplayRendering interface provides access to members that control display rendering in the Globe.

AmbientLight –   the globe’s sun effect ambient light value between 0 to 1, BaseExaggeration – the value of exageration to be applied for layers in the Draped and Elevation category, GlobeBackgroundOption – the Globe's background color, GlobeRadius – the Globe's radius. IsSunEnabled – indicates if the sun is enabled,OverlayExaggeration – the vertical exaggeration for Floating Layers, and SunContrast - the sun's illumination contrast.

It also has the following methods to: GetBackgroundTransitionDistances (pLowAltitute, pHighAltitude ) and SetBackgroundTransitionDistances (pLowAltitute, pHighAltitude ) a  method to get\set the transition distance where the space color changes to sky color.
