VelocityOrientationProperty

new Cesium.VelocityOrientationProperty(position, ellipsoid)
DataSources/VelocityOrientationProperty.js 31

A Property which evaluates to a Quaternion rotation based on the velocity of the provided PositionProperty.
Name Type Default Description
position PositionProperty optional The position property used to compute the orientation.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid Ellipsoid.WGS84 optional The ellipsoid used to determine which way is up.
Example:
//Create an entity with position and orientation.
const position = new Cesium.SampledProperty();
position.addSamples(...);
const entity = viewer.entities.add({
  position : position,
  orientation : new Cesium.VelocityOrientationProperty(position)
}));

DataSources/VelocityOrientationProperty.js 115

Gets the value of the property at the provided time.
Name Type Description
time JulianDate optional The time for which to retrieve the value.
result Quaternion optional The object to store the value into, if omitted, a new instance is created and returned.
