The AGL Altitude Widget is a Text type of Base Telemetry Widget. It shows the current above-ground-level (AGL) altitude, which is the altitude of the aircraft against the average ground level.

The states of the widget are the following:

State Image
Disconnected
Metric Unit System
Imperial Unit System

Usage

If creating the AGL altitude widget through code it can be added using the convenience method:

- (void)installInViewController:(nullable UIViewController *)viewController

which adds the widget the method is called on, as a subview of the ViewController, that is passed in as an argument. Following this, add constraints to the widget using its widgetSizeHint property to determine width, height and aspect ratio constraints.

If creating the widget through storyboard use the object library to drag a container view controller into the desired view controller like so:

Following this make sure to change the class of the child view controller to be DUXBetaAGLAltitudeWidget. From here you can create the constraints on the container view using the Telemetry Panel Widget's widgetSizeHint property.

Customizations

The UI elements can be customized to match the style of the user's application. The widget supports all the Text Customizations provided in the Base Telemetry Widget.

Metric Unit System
Imperial Unit System

Swift Example

aglAltitudeWidget.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
aglAltitudeWidget.labelTextColor = UIColor.black
aglAltitudeWidget.valueTextColor = UIColor.blue
aglAltitudeWidget.unitTextColor = UIColor.blue

Objective-C Example

aglAltitudeWidget.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
aglAltitudeWidget.labelTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
aglAltitudeWidget.valueTextColor = [UIColor blueColor];
aglAltitudeWidget.unitTextColor = [UIColor blueColor];

Hooks

The widget provides hooks for the users to add functionality based on the state changes in the widget. The ADUXBetaGLAltitudeWidget provides the following hooks:

  1. AGLAltitudeModelState - Provides hooks in events received by the widget from the widget model.
    • public static func productConnected(_ isConnected: Bool) -> AGLAltitudeModelState - Event when the product is connected or disconnected.
    • public static func altitudeStateUpdated(_ altitudeState: AltitudeState) -> AGLAltitudeModelState - Event when the AGL altitude state is updated.
