SGWorld.creator

The creator property is the SGWorld manufacturing object that creates objects such as polylines, labels and groups. All the create functions within the creator property return instances of an SGNode object.

It is possible (but not necessary) to append newly created nodes to the Skyline Globe Control node hierarchy, either directly to its root or to one of its descendants, using SGNode.appendChild method. This will allow to perform queries on the node hierarchy later and to save them to a file.
