Stellarium Script API

ConstellationMgr

setFlagLines displays the lines between the constallations' stars

core

`clear`	clears display options for a «standard view» (such as natural, starchart, deepspace, galactic).
`debug`	writes text to the ScriptConsole output window
`getDate`	returns the current simulation time in ISO 8601 format
`getObjectInfo`	gets information about an object in the sky, see the dialog Configuration -> Information
`getObjectPosition`	gets (positional) information about an object in the sky.
`getScreenWidth` and `getScreenHeight`
`moveToAltAzi`	look at a pair of coordinates that are specified in the horizontal coordinate system.
`moveToObject()`	look at a given object
`moveToRaDec`
`moveToSelectedObject()`	look at selected object
`output`	Write a message to a file
`pauseScript`
`screenshot`	Make a screenshot from the scene
`selectObjectByName`
`setDate`	go to a specific point in time. Can be specified absolutely (ISO 8601) or relatively `"+ 4 days"`.
`setDeltaTAlgorithm`
`setGuiVisible`	Toggles visiblity of (GUI-)toolbars that provide the public slot `setGuiVisible()`.
`setMilkyWayIntensity`
`setMilkyWayVisible`
`setSelectedObjectInfo`	controls the amount of information that is shown when an object is select.
`setObserverLocation`	travels to a given location on Earth or a planet.
`setTimeRate`
`wait`	Stop the presentation for a given period

GridLinesMgr

`setFlagAzimuthalGrid`	shows or hides the grid for the horizontal coordinate system.
`setFlagEquatorGrid`
`setFlagMeridianLine`

LabelMgr

deleteAllLabels

deleteLabel

labelScreen adds text to the scene.

LandscapeMgr

getAllLandscapeNames

setCurrentLandscapeName

setFlagAtmosphere

setFlagCardinalsPoints

setFlagFog

setFlagLandscape

ScreenImageMgr

createScreenImage

SolarSystem

`setFlagLabels`	toggles if Planets' and their Moons' names are shown next to them. This functionality seems to correspond to the `alt-p` keyboard shortcut.
`setFlagPlanets`
`setFlagTrails`
`setMaxTrailPoints`	sets the maximum number of trail lines that each object draws behind itself if `setFlagTrails(true)` was called.

StelMovementMgr

`setAutoMoveDuration`	Sets the duration for an auto-move operation (such as `core.selectObjectByName()` followed by `StelMovementMgr.setFlagTracking()`?)
`setFlagTracking`
`setMaxFov`	Fov stands for field of view.
`zoomTo`	Change the field of view.

Parameters that expect an angle

Some functions that are exposed through Stellarium's API (such as core.moveToAltAzi or core.moveToRaDec) have parameters that expect a value that represents an angle.

There are multiple formats with which these angles can be specified:

+53d 51'21.6" - +53d51'21.6"
-1d 10'31.8" - +46d6'31"
50D46'0"N - 123D47'59"W
123.567 N
123.567W
-123.567
12h 14m 6s

The D or d in the examples above is the degree separator. Instead of the degree separator, the real degree symbol (º, 0xBA, not to be confused with °, 0xB0) can be used instead.

See also double StelUtils::getDecAngle(const QString & str) which converts the angle to radians.
