How to plot line showing its azimuth in google earth kml api

[Farah Siraj]

I want to draw a line on google earth showing its azimuth angle but i
have given data for one point of line and its azimuth angle. I have
searched kml api for plotting with azimuth but couldn't find.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thank in advanced.

That's not enough information for GE to draw a line. Use your azimuth
and some chosen distance to calculate another point on the line, then
get GE to draw with two points.

Thanks a lot!

Can you please tell me any other way to generate kml except vba macro?
Other thing i want to know that kml is static , right ? How can i add
event based functionality in kml e.g user inputs any attribute value
on the line and line changes its color etc....

Thanks in advanced.

You can create it by hand with a text editor, you can write it from
php, etc. etc.

You could use the GE API to program that sort of thing

Actually i have worked on javascript GE APIs. In JS i made tools
easily that dynamically plot excel data but in kml i have problem that
to run tool every time i will have to generate kml ( i'm working on
VBA for kml generation). Is there any way to avoid this repetition.

But how can i do event based programming in GE KML API as i'm working
on VBA + GE API. ?

Waiting for reply.

Thanks

I can't think of a way to generate different KML except by generating
KML.
Don't think I understand your question. Are you forced to use KML?
Can you outline what you are trying to achieve?

You'd use your javascript skills to write event based javascript code
to use with the GE API.
Again, I don't think I understand the question.
