Faux 3D Flight Route

This Faux 3D Flight Route example is very similar to a previous example (found here). In this example, flight routes from one city to another represented as path elements can be queried using various selection tools. When the globe is rotated, the routes change their transparency to optimize the view: emerging routes become more opaque and fading routes become more transparent. Layers created from querying the routes change thier transprency level just like the original path elements. Note that users are not allowed to change the visibility of the VisDock layers using Query Manager. The VisDock toolkit has been integrated into this Faux 3D Shaded Globe example built with D3.js (found here) by Derek Watkins. For more information about VisDock, please cick on the link.
