Draped Images: Images are draped along the earth surface.

• Based on Single Midpoint: Images are plotted based on a single XY location and a defined width and height.

• Based on Two Corner Points: Images are plotted based on coordinates defined for their southwest and northeast corners.

• Time-Animation: Multiple images are displayed in Google Earth, in a date-based animation.

• Raster Labels: Display textual labels as non-dynamic images.

Floating Images: Images are floating above the earth surface.

• Based on Single Midpoint: Images are plotted based on a single XY location, and a defined width, height, and elevation.

• Based on Two Corner Points: Images are plotted based on coordinates defined for their southwest and northeast corners, and a defined elevation.

• Time-Animation: Multiple images are displayed in Google Earth, in a date-based animation.

• Sea-Level Animation: Simulate sea level rise in a time-based animation.

Vertical: Images are plotted vertically (perpendicular to the Earth's surface).

• Based on Single Midpoint: Images are plotted based on a single XY location and a defined width and height.

• Based on Two Endpoints (Simple): Images are plotted based on coordinates defined for their left and right edges, and a defined height.

• Based on Two Endpoints (Advanced): Images are plotted based on coordinates defined for their left and right edges, and base and top elevations. Vertical offset and exaggeration are available.

• 90-Degree Images: Images are plotted east-west and copied north-south, based on center point coordinates and width and height declarations, generating a 3D effect.

Legend: Display a raster image as a legend in Google Earth.
