How to use
See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on compiling, setting up the debugger, and running the sample. If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.
Running the sample from ArcGlobe
- Start ArcGlobe.
- Click Customize, click Customize Mode, then click the Toolbars tab.
- Select GraphicsToolbar on the Toolbars pane.
- Close the Customize dialog box.
- To use the Point tool, click the globe surface to digitize a 3D sphere.
- To use the Polyline tool, click the globe surface to digitize the polyline vertices, and double-click to end the polyline.
- To use the Polygon tool, click the globe surface to digitize the polygon vertices and double-click to close the polygon.
- To use the Text tool, click the globe surface to specify where the text should be centered, type text on the dialog box that appears, and press Enter.
- Selecting a custom color via the Color tool before using any of the previous tools, causes the color of the digitized geometry or text to change accordingly.
