## KML
|
|
|
|
**File > Export > KML**
|
|
|
|
The "Export" submenu also includes a "KML" option, which allows users to save D2D displays or
|
|
GFE grids in the KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file format. When zipped (compressed), the KML
|
|
file format forms a KMZ file, which can be used in applications such as Google Earth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The KML dialog box includes options to select frames to export. This includes exporting all frames,
|
|
the current/displayed frame, a range of frames, and, in GFE, the selected time range as highlighted in
|
|
the Grid Manager. Additional options are available for selection under the "Other Options" section:
|
|
|
|
* **Export Hidden**: When selected, all displayed and hidden products listed in the Product Legend section of the Main Display Pane will be exported.
|
|
|
|
* **Export Maps**: When selected, all enabled maps displayed within the Main Display Pane will be
|
|
exported.
|
|
|
|
* **Shade Earth**: When selected, a shaded background is applied to the exported product. If loaded in Google Earth, the earth will be overlaid with a black backdrop, and data will be displayed as it would in D2D with a black background.
|
|
|
|
* **Show Background Tiles**: When selected, data (such as plot data) will display on top of black
|
|
tiles when loaded in Google Earth.
