Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
-worldSpace(-ws) boolean createqueryedit
This flag specifies which reference to use. If on : all geometrical values are taken in world reference. If off : all geometrical values are taken in object reference.
C: Default is off.
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.

C: Default is 180.0 1.0.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[2].

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
-projectionScaleU(-psu) linear createqueryedit
This flag specifies the width of the map relative to the 3D projection axis : the scale aperture.
C: Default is 180.0. The range is [0, 360].
