Feature Request/Bug Fix?

[Bob Hegwood]

It's me again...

With the new ring location files so graciously provided by Grant, there is a problem.

When you use a MARK scripting command to display the location of a ring section, the MARK only shows up where ONE of the ring location definitions have defined it to be. This just happens to be the first definition it finds in the ring_locs.ssc file. Would like to request that BOTH locations be marked via the MARK command.

In other words, since Grant has defined the ring locations so that they can be viewed on either side of the planet, (one defined at 0 degrees longitude, and one defined at 180 degrees) only the 0 degrees location is MARKed via a script command because it shows up first in the ring_locs.ssc file.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks, Bob

Never mind...

Grant made me understand the location labels so that I can use them correctly now. Didn't realize that I could simply set the time/position of the objects/coordinates so that I could MARK the ring locations where I wanted to.

Script writers should still be aware that the MARK command only marks a location based on the first definition it finds though. Just FYI.

Thanks, Bob
