Property
Document.PinPointStatus (read-only, Short)
Syntax
Document.PinPointStatus
Remarks
Returns the status of the PinPoint solution for the current image. The property will return 2 if a PinPoint solution is available for the image, either because the image was just solved, or because the solution was already present in its header. It returns 1 to indicate that no solution is available. This property returns 3 if MaxIm DL is currently solving the image but has not yet completed the solution.
The CenterRA, CenterDec, PositionAngle and ImageScale properties will generate exceptions if they are called when PinPointStatus is anything other than 2.
If PinPoint encounters an error while solving the image (for instance, if the catalog path hasn't yet been specified) the following call to PinPointStatus generates an exception indicating the cause of the error. When this occurs the PinPoint solution is immediately cancelled, and must be restarted once the error has been corrected.
