Label

Members

Default Value: false

Examples:

// Example 1.
// Set a label's rightToLeft before init
Cesium.Label.enableRightToLeftDetection = true;
var myLabelEntity = viewer.entities.add({
  label: {
    id: 'my label',
    text: 'זה טקסט בעברית \n ועכשיו יורדים שורה',
  }
});

// Example 2.
var myLabelEntity = viewer.entities.add({
  label: {
    id: 'my label',
    text: 'English text'
  }
});
// Set a label's rightToLeft after init
Cesium.Label.enableRightToLeftDetection = true;
myLabelEntity.text = 'טקסט חדש';

Default Value: new Color(0.165, 0.165, 0.165, 0.8)

Default Value: new Cartesian2(7, 5)

Default Value: undefined

Gets and sets the 3D Cartesian offset applied to this label in eye coordinates. Eye coordinates is a left-handed coordinate system, where x points towards the viewer's right, y points up, and z points into the screen. Eye coordinates use the same scale as world and model coordinates, which is typically meters.

An eye offset is commonly used to arrange multiple label or objects at the same position, e.g., to arrange a label above its corresponding 3D model.

Below, the label is positioned at the center of the Earth but an eye offset makes it always appear on top of the Earth regardless of the viewer's or Earth's orientation.

l.eyeOffset = new Cartesian3(0.0, 8000000.0, 0.0);

Default Value: Cartesian3.ZERO

Default Value: Color.WHITE

See:

• HTML canvas 2D context fill and stroke styles

Default Value: '30px sans-serif'

See:

• HTML canvas 2D context text styles

Default Value: HeightReference.NONE

Gets or sets the horizontal origin of this label, which determines if the label is drawn to the left, center, or right of its anchor position.

Default Value: HorizontalOrigin.LEFT

Example:

// Use a top, right origin
l.horizontalOrigin = Cesium.HorizontalOrigin.RIGHT;
l.verticalOrigin = Cesium.VerticalOrigin.TOP;

Default Value: Color.BLACK

See:

• HTML canvas 2D context fill and stroke styles

Default Value: 1.0

See:

• HTML canvas 2D context fill and stroke styles

Gets or sets the pixel offset in screen space from the origin of this label. This is commonly used to align multiple labels and billboards at the same position, e.g., an image and text. The screen space origin is the top, left corner of the canvas; x increases from left to right, and y increases from top to bottom.

default

l.pixeloffset = new Cartesian2(25, 75);

The label's origin is indicated by the yellow point.

Default Value: Cartesian2.ZERO

Examples:

// Example 1.
// Set a label's pixel offset scale to 0.0 when the
// camera is 1500 meters from the label and scale pixel offset to 10.0 pixels
// in the y direction the camera distance approaches 8.0e6 meters.
text.pixelOffset = new Cesium.Cartesian2(0.0, 1.0);
text.pixelOffsetScaleByDistance = new Cesium.NearFarScalar(1.5e2, 0.0, 8.0e6, 10.0);

// Example 2.
// disable pixel offset by distance
text.pixelOffsetScaleByDistance = undefined;

Gets or sets the uniform scale that is multiplied with the label's size in pixels. A scale of 1.0 does not change the size of the label; a scale greater than 1.0 enlarges the label; a positive scale less than 1.0 shrinks the label.

Applying a large scale value may pixelate the label. To make text larger without pixelation, use a larger font size when calling Label#font instead.

From left to right in the above image, the scales are 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0.

Default Value: 1.0

Examples:

// Example 1.
// Set a label's scaleByDistance to scale by 1.5 when the
// camera is 1500 meters from the label and disappear as
// the camera distance approaches 8.0e6 meters.
label.scaleByDistance = new Cesium.NearFarScalar(1.5e2, 1.5, 8.0e6, 0.0);

// Example 2.
// disable scaling by distance
label.scaleByDistance = undefined;

Default Value: true

Default Value: false

Default Value: LabelStyle.FILL

Examples:

// Example 1.
// Set a label's translucencyByDistance to 1.0 when the
// camera is 1500 meters from the label and disappear as
// the camera distance approaches 8.0e6 meters.
text.translucencyByDistance = new Cesium.NearFarScalar(1.5e2, 1.0, 8.0e6, 0.0);

// Example 2.
// disable translucency by distance
text.translucencyByDistance = undefined;

Gets or sets the vertical origin of this label, which determines if the label is to the above, below, or at the center of its anchor position.

Default Value: VerticalOrigin.BASELINE

Example:

// Use a top, right origin
l.horizontalOrigin = Cesium.HorizontalOrigin.RIGHT;
l.verticalOrigin = Cesium.VerticalOrigin.TOP;
