Scripting Feature Request

Hi all...

Mr. Goyette brought this to my attention since he was having to view all
of the Mars location labels when he ran my Mars Tour script. After some
investigation, I found that it's currently not possible to clear location labels
from within a script. (Or, if it is possible, I can find no way to do it!)

Would like to request an addition to the "renderflags" commands in order to do this?

In other words, can a scripting command be added in order to perform the
same actions currently necessitated by selecting "Render" from Celestia's menu
taskbar, then selecting "Locations" and finally un-checking the "Label Features" box.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks, Bob

Howdy Bob,

This was suggested in the not to recent past, and hopefully it will be added in a future release. Also, I think it would go into the labels command instead of the renderflags command, since renderflags deals with "objects" and labels deals with "text".

Let's keep our fingers crossed <smile>.
