VelocityVectorProperty

new Cesium.VelocityVectorProperty(position, normalize)
DataSources/VelocityVectorProperty.js 31

A Property which evaluates to a Cartesian3 vector based on the velocity of the provided PositionProperty.
Name Type Default Description
position PositionProperty optional The position property used to compute the velocity.
normalize Boolean true optional Whether to normalize the computed velocity vector.
Example:
//Create an entity with a billboard rotated to match its velocity.
const position = new Cesium.SampledProperty();
position.addSamples(...);
const entity = viewer.entities.add({
  position : position,
  billboard : {
    image : 'image.png',
    alignedAxis : new Cesium.VelocityVectorProperty(position, true) // alignedAxis must be a unit vector
  }
}));
