Tour Generation
The KML writer supports automatically generating KML Tours from input Placemark features.
Tour generation is controlled via kml_tour_stop_* format attributes that are specific to Placemark features. The tour consists of tour stops that correspond to each feature. The location of the tour stop corresponds to the center point of the input feature.
In the case of features with line geometry, a series of tour stops will be generated, where each vertex in the line becomes a tour stop. If the line contains the following measures, they will be used to generate the tilt, heading and range of the tour stops along the line geometry:
- kml_tour_stop_view_heading
- kml_tour_stop_view_tilt
- kml_tour_stop_view_range
