General
Verbose Logging
This is a drop-down list with Yes/No values.
Read Overlays as Rasters
Specifies whether the images files referenced by Overlay elements should be read as raster geometry.
- If set to All, all GroundOverlay, PhotoOverlay, and ScreenOverlay images will be read as raster geometry.
- If set to GroundOverlay, then only GroundOverlay images will be read.
Scan Schema
Specifies whether or not the reader should scan the KML files for schema elements.
If this box is not checked, KML elements will be read using the fixed schema. KML datasets using the KML 2.1 schema may not be read properly unless this option is checked.
Fail on Network Errors
Specifies whether or not the reader should terminate the translation if a network error occurs.
Delete Downloaded Files
Specifies whether or not the reader should delete temporary files downloaded as part of the reading process.
Traverse NetworkLinks
Specifies whether or not NetworkLink or schemaUrl references to external KML files should be traversed (i.e. to read the referenced document).
If Local is specified, then references will only be traversed if they refer to a file on the local filesystem.
Maximum NetworkLinks Traversal Depth
Specifies the maximum depth of the traversal tree.
The traversal depth is the number of links that must be traversed to get from the original file to the root file. For example, if the dataset root refers to DocB, which refers to DocC, the traversal depth is 2.
Additional Attributes to Expose
Opening up this option allows the user to choose which format attributes to add to the feature schema.
e.g., if name is specified in the KML file then choose kml_name from the drop down and set automatic labeling on the KML layer.
User will see that labels in the open KML file
Bounding Box
Query Bounding Box Min X, Max X, Min Y, Max Y
These 4 parameters specify the bounding box that will be used to specify the BBOX passed to web services that provide KML data.
Proxy
Proxy Url
Specifies the URL of a proxy server that will be used for all href traversal.
Proxy Port
Specifies the port number for the proxy server. Not valid if Proxy URL is not supported.
Proxy User Name
Specifies the user name to use to login to the proxy server. Not valid if Proxy URL is not supported.
Proxy Password
Specifies the password to use to login to the proxy server. Not valid if Proxy URL is not supported.
Proxy Authentication Method
Specifies the authentication method to use to login to the proxy server. Not valid if Proxy URL and Proxy User Name are not supported.
