ViewWindow.SetTailLength(Variable, String, Variable) Method

 Top 

Description

Sets the tail length of multiple objects at the same time.

 

Use caution in setting tail lengths longer than 10,000 - 30,000 points. Tail lengths exceeding this range can cause memory problems due to the large amount of relative position data that must be maintained. The maximum tail length that can be used safely depends on the amount of memory in the system and the number of objects managed by the Mission View.
