Parameters:
Name Type Description
level Number The tile level for which to get the maximum geometric error.

Gets a value indicating whether or not the provider includes a water mask. The water mask indicates which areas of the globe are water rather than land, so they can be rendered as a reflective surface with animated waves.

Throws:
DeveloperError : This function must not be called before CesiumTerrainProvider#ready returns true.
Returns:
