Extras for Site Components
Now
that you have entered all that data regarding your site components;
wouldn't be nice to see it displayed somewhere? When you fill in the
HTML Description and the customized site components
attributes you'll be able to export your scheme to
Google Earth and click on a component to see a Pop-up Bubble.
example of pop-up in Google Earth
- Help for HTML Coding: Every
HTML Description is
filled in with a sample piece of code to help you make your own custom
pop-ups for your Site Components in Google Earth.
- Sample Code:
[Name]
- This above code generates this pop-up in Google Earth:
- Understanding the HTML Code:
- The first line in the bubble "Intersection Point" is
the Name of
the Site Component, you may change the name, but this will ALWAYS be
the first thing in the bubble you can not edit it out.
- The picture in the bubble is from the first line of
custom HTML Description:
- To Add your own picture:
- First make sure the image file is online, this is
as easy as uploading the image as an attachment to your scheme
- Next open that image online and right click to
view the images Properties
- Use the Location to
copy and paste the image source code (img src) into the HTML
Description right between the quotation marks
- Next use the Image Dimensions
to insert the width and height of your image in pixels (px) exchange
the "50" for your new "number"
- The next piece of code is:
This
piece of code is like hitting enter when you are typing, basically go
back and right; the more you enter the more space you'll have before
the next line starts
- Next Line of code creates the text
[Name]
This is regarding your font. The piece
[name]
is referring to what is going to be in that font, in this case it is
the name of the object.
- The last line of code creates the black line that you
see:
- Other helpful info:
- To make a paragraph, start with:
then type, then end with:
- Tying it all together: After creating your custom site
components attributes headers, and updating and importing your site
components attributes csv file, this data can then be used to populate
areas in the google earth pop-up bubble.
- If you title your first header: Date
- Then you exported your site components attrubutes
csv file and under that header entered: May 2nd
- Now, in the HTML section you can add
[Date]
- That would then show in the pop up bubble in
Google Earth: May 2nd
- If you know more HTML coding you can always get more
sophisticated, enjoy!
