enablePickFeatures : Boolean
Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 313

Gets or sets a value indicating whether feature picking is enabled. If true, UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures will request the options.pickFeaturesUrl and attempt to interpret the features included in the response. If false, UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures will immediately return undefined (indicating no pickable features) without communicating with the server. Set this property to false if you know your data source does not support picking features or if you don't want this provider's features to be pickable.
Inherited From:
Default Value: true

Gets an event that is raised when the imagery provider encounters an asynchronous error. By subscribing to the event, you will be notified of the error and can potentially recover from it. Event listeners are passed an instance of TileProviderError.
Inherited From:

readonly hasAlphaChannel : Boolean
Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 633

Gets a value indicating whether or not the images provided by this imagery provider include an alpha channel. If this property is false, an alpha channel, if present, will be ignored. If this property is true, any images without an alpha channel will be treated as if their alpha is 1.0 everywhere. When this property is false, memory usage and texture upload time are reduced. This function should not be called before ImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Inherited From:
Default Value: true

readonly maximumLevel : Number|undefined

x Number The tile X coordinate.
y Number The tile Y coordinate.
level Number The tile level.
request Request optional The request object. Intended for internal use only.
Returns:
A promise for the image that will resolve when the image is available, or undefined if there are too many active requests to the server, and the request should be retried later.

Type Definitions

Cesium.TileMapServiceImageryProvider.ConstructorOptions
Scene/TileMapServiceImageryProvider.js 16

Initialization options for the TileMapServiceImageryProvider constructor
Properties:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
url Resource | String | Promise.<Resource> | Promise.<String> <optional>
 '.' Path to image tiles on server.
fileExtension String <optional>
 'png' The file extension for images on the server.
credit Credit | String <optional>
 '' A credit for the data source, which is displayed on the canvas.
minimumLevel Number <optional>
 0 The minimum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider. Take care when specifying this that the number of tiles at the minimum level is small, such as four or less. A larger number is likely to result in rendering problems.
maximumLevel Number <optional>
 The maximum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider, or undefined if there is no limit.
rectangle Rectangle <optional>
 Rectangle.MAX_VALUE The rectangle, in radians, covered by the image.
tilingScheme TilingScheme <optional>
 The tiling scheme specifying how the ellipsoidal surface is broken into tiles. If this parameter is not provided, a WebMercatorTilingScheme is used.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid <optional>
 The ellipsoid. If the tilingScheme is specified, this parameter is ignored and the tiling scheme's ellipsoid is used instead. If neither parameter is specified, the WGS84 ellipsoid is used.
tileWidth Number <optional>
 256 Pixel width of image tiles.
tileHeight Number <optional>
 256 Pixel height of image tiles.
flipXY Boolean <optional>
 Older versions of gdal2tiles.py flipped X and Y values in tilemapresource.xml. Specifying this option will do the same, allowing for loading of these incorrect tilesets.
