This enumerated type is used in determining to what extent an object, the occludee,
is visible during horizon culling. An occluder may fully block an occludee, in which case
it has no visibility, may partially block an occludee from view, or may not block it at all,
leading to full visibility.

Winding order defines the order of vertices for a triangle to be considered front-facing.
Properties:
Name |
Type |
Description |
CLOCKWISE |
number
|
Vertices are in clockwise order. |
COUNTER_CLOCKWISE |
number
|
Vertices are in counter-clockwise order. |
Methods
Computes the barycentric coordinates for a point with respect to a triangle.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new Cartesian3 instance if one was not provided. If the triangle is degenerate the function will return undefined.
Example:
// Returns Cartesian3.UNIT_X
const p = new Cesium.Cartesian3(-1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
const b = Cesium.barycentricCoordinates(p,
new Cesium.Cartesian3(-1.0, 0.0, 0.0),
new Cesium.Cartesian3( 1.0, 0.0, 0.0),
new Cesium.Cartesian3( 0.0, 1.0, 1.0));
Finds an item in a sorted array.
Name |
Type |
Description |
array |
Array
|
The sorted array to search. |
itemToFind |
*
|
The item to find in the array. |
comparator |
binarySearchComparator
|
The function to use to compare the item to
elements in the array. |
Returns:
The index of itemToFind
in the array, if it exists. If itemToFind
does not exist, the return value is a negative number which is the bitwise complement (~)
of the index before which the itemToFind should be inserted in order to maintain the
sorted order of the array.
Example:
// Create a comparator function to search through an array of numbers.
function comparator(a, b) {
return a - b;
};
const numbers = [0, 2, 4, 6, 8];
const index = Cesium.binarySearch(numbers, 6, comparator); // 3
Given a relative URL under the Cesium base URL, returns an absolute URL.
Name |
Type |
Description |
relativeUrl |
string
|
The relative path. |
Returns:
The absolutely URL representation of the provided path.
Example:
const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
baseLayer: Cesium.ImageryLayer.fromProviderAsync(
Cesium.TileMapServiceImageryProvider.fromUrl(
Cesium.buildModuleUrl("Assets/Textures/NaturalEarthII"),
)),
baseLayerPicker: false,
});

Name |
Type |
Default |
Description |
object |
object
|
|
The object to clone. |
deep |
boolean
|
false
|
optional
If true, all properties will be deep cloned recursively. |
Returns:
The cloned object.
Merges two objects, copying their properties onto a new combined object. When two objects have the same
property, the value of the property on the first object is used. If either object is undefined,
it will be treated as an empty object.
Name |
Type |
Default |
Description |
object1 |
object
|
|
optional
The first object to merge. |
object2 |
object
|
|
optional
The second object to merge. |
deep |
boolean
|
false
|
optional
Perform a recursive merge. |
Returns:
The combined object containing all properties from both objects.
Example:
const object1 = {
propOne : 1,
propTwo : {
value1 : 10
}
}
const object2 = {
propTwo : 2
}
const final = Cesium.combine(object1, object2);
// final === {
// propOne : 1,
// propTwo : {
// value1 : 10
// }
// }
Create a Command from a given function, for use with ViewModels.
A Command is a function with an extra canExecute
observable property to determine
whether the command can be executed. When executed, a Command function will check the
value of canExecute
and throw if false. It also provides events for when
a command has been or is about to be executed.
Name |
Type |
Default |
Description |

canExecute |
boolean
|
true
|
optional
A boolean indicating whether the function can currently be executed. |
Creates a
Material
that combines multiple layers of color/gradient bands and maps them to terrain heights.
The shader does a binary search over all the heights to find out which colors are above and below a given height, and
interpolates between them for the final color. This material supports hundreds of entries relatively cheaply.
Name |
Type |
Description |
options |

|
Object with the following properties:
Name |
Type |
Description |
scene |

color : new Cesium.Color(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
}],
extendDownwards : true,
extendUpwards : true,
}, {
entries : [{
height : 7000.0,
color : new Cesium.Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5)
}, {
height : 7100.0,
color : new Cesium.Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5)
}]
}]
});

try {
const tileset = await Cesium.createGooglePhotorealistic3DTileset();
viewer.scene.primitives.add(tileset));

Destroys an object. Each of the object's functions, including functions in its prototype,
is replaced with a function that throws a
DeveloperError
, except for the object's
isDestroyed
function, which is set to a function that returns
true
.
The object's properties are removed with
delete
.
This function is used by objects that hold native resources, e.g., WebGL resources, which
need to be explicitly released. Client code calls an object's
destroy
function,
which then releases the native resource and calls
destroyObject
to put itself
in a destroyed state.

Exports an EntityCollection as a KML document. Only Point, Billboard, Model, Path, Polygon, Polyline geometries
will be exported. Note that there is not a 1 to 1 mapping of Entity properties to KML Feature properties. For
example, entity properties that are time dynamic but cannot be dynamic in KML are exported with their values at
options.time or the beginning of the EntityCollection's time interval if not specified. For time-dynamic properties
that are supported in KML, we use the samples if it is a
SampledProperty
otherwise we sample the value using
the options.sampleDuration. Point, Billboard, Model and Path geometries with time-dynamic positions will be exported
as gx:Track Features. Not all Materials are representable in KML, so for more advanced Materials just the primary
color is used. Canvas objects are exported as PNG images.

Initiates a terrain height query for an array of
Cartographic
positions by
requesting tiles from a terrain provider, sampling, and interpolating. The interpolation
matches the triangles used to render the terrain at the specified level. The query
happens asynchronously, so this function returns a promise that is resolved when
the query completes. Each point height is modified in place. If a height can not be
determined because no terrain data is available for the specified level at that location,
or another error occurs, the height is set to undefined. As is typical of the
Cartographic
type, the supplied height is a height above the reference ellipsoid
(such as
Ellipsoid.WGS84
) rather than an altitude above mean sea level. In other
words, it will not necessarily be 0.0 if sampled in the ocean. This function needs the
terrain level of detail as input, if you need to get the altitude of the terrain as precisely
as possible (i.e. with maximum level of detail) use
sampleTerrainMostDetailed
.
Name |
Type |
Description |
terrainProvider |

level |
number
|
The terrain level-of-detail from which to query terrain heights. |
positions |

Returns:
A promise that resolves to the provided list of positions when terrain the query has completed.
Example:
// Query the terrain height of two Cartographic positions
const terrainProvider = await Cesium.createWorldTerrainAsync();
const positions = [
Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(86.925145, 27.988257),
Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(87.0, 28.0)
];
const updatedPositions = await Cesium.sampleTerrain(terrainProvider, 11, positions);
// positions[0].height and positions[1].height have been updated.
// updatedPositions is just a reference to positions.

promise will reject if the terrain provider's `availability` property is undefined.
Example:
// Query the terrain height of two Cartographic positions
const terrainProvider = await Cesium.createWorldTerrainAsync();
const positions = [
Cesium.Cartographic.fromDegrees(86.925145, 27.988257),
