[edit] Accomplishments

[edit] 2009-01-08

The goal right now is to become familiarized with the very basic functions of the GE API. As of now, the basic functions that have been successfully implemented are placing placemarks with different stylemaps (icons and icon properties) on earth, calling the description balloon, and calling the HTML balloons. An interesting discovery about these different balloons is that the description balloons are similar to the ones in GE. That is, they are limited in their functionality such as being unable to run javascript. On the other hand, these HTML balloons can run javascript. The webpage TwoPlacemarks explores these discoveries.

Files relevant to the API are at the GE API Page
