Methods

static Cesium.Spherical.clone(spherical, result) → Spherical
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 70

Creates a duplicate of a Spherical.
Name Type Description
spherical Spherical The spherical to clone.
result Spherical optional The object to store the result into, if undefined a new instance will be created.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance if result was undefined. (Returns undefined if spherical is undefined)

static Cesium.Spherical.equals(left, right) → boolean
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 114

Returns true if the first spherical is equal to the second spherical, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
left Spherical The first Spherical to be compared.
right Spherical The second Spherical to be compared.
Returns:
true if the first spherical is equal to the second spherical, false otherwise.

static Cesium.Spherical.equalsEpsilon(left, right, epsilon) → boolean
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 133

Returns true if the first spherical is within the provided epsilon of the second spherical, false otherwise.
Name Type Default Description
left Spherical The first Spherical to be compared.
right Spherical The second Spherical to be compared.
epsilon number 0.0 optional The epsilon to compare against.
Returns:
true if the first spherical is within the provided epsilon of the second spherical, false otherwise.

static Cesium.Spherical.fromCartesian3(cartesian3, result) → Spherical
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 43

Converts the provided Cartesian3 into Spherical coordinates.
Name Type Description
cartesian3 Cartesian3 The Cartesian3 to be converted to Spherical.
result Spherical optional The object in which the result will be stored, if undefined a new instance will be created.
Returns:
The modified result parameter, or a new instance if one was not provided.

static Cesium.Spherical.normalize(spherical, result) → Spherical
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 92

Computes the normalized version of the provided spherical.
Name Type Description
spherical Spherical The spherical to be normalized.
result Spherical optional The object to store the result into, if undefined a new instance will be created.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance if result was undefined.

clone(result) → Spherical
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 161

Creates a duplicate of this Spherical.
Name Type Description
result Spherical optional The object to store the result into, if undefined a new instance will be created.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance if result was undefined.

equals(other) → boolean
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 151

Returns true if this spherical is equal to the provided spherical, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
other Spherical The Spherical to be compared.
Returns:
true if this spherical is equal to the provided spherical, false otherwise.

equalsEpsilon(other, epsilon) → boolean
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 172

Returns true if this spherical is within the provided epsilon of the provided spherical, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
other Spherical The Spherical to be compared.
epsilon number The epsilon to compare against.
Returns:
true if this spherical is within the provided epsilon of the provided spherical, false otherwise.

toString() → string
engine/Source/Core/Spherical.js 181

Returns a string representing this instance in the format (clock, cone, magnitude).
Returns:
A string representing this instance.
