Local and global trough aiming

Troughs can be configured to aim either to a Global or a Local system. Figure below shows the implementation of two different heliostats, one with a global (right) and one with local (left) aiming.

The selection of the aiming point can be set within the tracker parameters in the right vertical bottom panel as shown in Figure above. The user just needs to select the aimingType parameter to be either local or global. In the Figure above, the tracker of the right trough is selected and the aiming point for this is set to global with an aimingPoint set to 0 0 8 as per the characteristic design of the heliostat.

The above example is included in the examples folder of the Tonatiuh++ installation directory. A how to video in shown below on how to recreate the above.
