EllipsoidGeometryUpdater

EllipsoidGeometryUpdater

new

A GeometryUpdater for ellipsoids. Clients do not normally create this class directly, but instead rely on DataSourceDisplay.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
dynamicObject DynamicObject The object containing the geometry to be visualized.
scene Scene The scene where visualization is taking place.

Members

:DynamicObject

Gets the object associated with this geometry.

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if the geometry has a fill component.

:MaterialProperty

Gets the material property used to fill the geometry.

:Boolean

Gets an event that is raised whenever the public properties of this updater change.

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if fill visibility varies with simulation time.

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if outline visibility varies with simulation time.

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if the geometry is closed. This property is only valid for static geometry.

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if the geometry is time-varying. If true, all visualization is delegated to the DynamicGeometryUpdater returned by GeometryUpdater#createDynamicUpdater.

:Property

Gets the Color property for the geometry outline.

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if the geometry has an outline component.

<static> :Appearance

Gets the type of Appearance to use for material-based geometry.

<static> :Appearance

Gets the type of Appearance to use for simple color-based geometry.

Methods

Creates the dynamic updater to be used when GeometryUpdater#isDynamic is true.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
primitives CompositePrimitive The primitive collection to use.
Throws:
DeveloperError : This instance does not represent dynamic geometry.
Returns:
DynamicGeometryUpdater The dynamic updater used to update the geometry each frame.

Creates the geometry instance which represents the fill of the geometry.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The time to use when retrieving initial attribute values.
Throws:
DeveloperError : This instance does not represent a filled geometry.
Returns:
GeometryInstance The geometry instance representing the filled portion of the geometry.

Creates the geometry instance which represents the outline of the geometry.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The time to use when retrieving initial attribute values.
Throws:
DeveloperError : This instance does not represent an outlined geometry.
Returns:
GeometryInstance The geometry instance representing the outline portion of the geometry.

Destroys and resources used by the object. Once an object is destroyed, it should not be used.

Throws:
DeveloperError : This object was destroyed, i.e., destroy() was called.

Returns true if this object was destroyed; otherwise, false.

Returns:
Boolean True if this object was destroyed; otherwise, false.

Checks if the geometry is filled at the provided time.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The time for which to retrieve visibility.
Returns:
Boolean true if geometry is filled at the provided time, false otherwise.

Checks if the geometry is outlined at the provided time.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The time for which to retrieve visibility.
Returns:
Boolean true if geometry is outlined at the provided time, false otherwise.
