TerrainData

Members

waterMask :Uint8Array|Image|Canvas

The water mask included in this terrain data, if any. A water mask is a rectangular Uint8Array or image where a value of 255 indicates water and a value of 0 indicates land. Values in between 0 and 255 are allowed as well to smoothly blend between land and water.

Methods

createMesh

Creates a TerrainMesh from this terrain data.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
tilingScheme	TilingScheme	The tiling scheme to which this tile belongs.
x	Number	The X coordinate of the tile for which to create the terrain data.
y	Number	The Y coordinate of the tile for which to create the terrain data.
level	Number	The level of the tile for which to create the terrain data.

Returns:

Promise | TerrainMesh A promise for the terrain mesh, or undefined if too many asynchronous mesh creations are already in progress and the operation should be retried later.

interpolateHeight

Computes the terrain height at a specified longitude and latitude.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
rectangle	Rectangle	The rectangle covered by this terrain data.
longitude	Number	The longitude in radians.
latitude	Number	The latitude in radians.

Returns:

Number The terrain height at the specified position. If the position is outside the rectangle, this method will extrapolate the height, which is likely to be wildly incorrect for positions far outside the rectangle.

isChildAvailable

Determines if a given child tile is available, based on the TerrainData#childTileMask. The given child tile coordinates are assumed to be one of the four children of this tile. If non-child tile coordinates are given, the availability of the southeast child tile is returned.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
thisX	Number	The tile X coordinate of this (the parent) tile.
thisY	Number	The tile Y coordinate of this (the parent) tile.
childX	Number	The tile X coordinate of the child tile to check for availability.
childY	Number	The tile Y coordinate of the child tile to check for availability.

Returns:

Boolean True if the child tile is available; otherwise, false.

upsample

Upsamples this terrain data for use by a descendant tile.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
tilingScheme	TilingScheme	The tiling scheme of this terrain data.
thisX	Number	The X coordinate of this tile in the tiling scheme.
thisY	Number	The Y coordinate of this tile in the tiling scheme.
thisLevel	Number	The level of this tile in the tiling scheme.
descendantX	Number	The X coordinate within the tiling scheme of the descendant tile for which we are upsampling.
descendantY	Number	The Y coordinate within the tiling scheme of the descendant tile for which we are upsampling.
descendantLevel	Number	The level within the tiling scheme of the descendant tile for which we are upsampling.

Returns:

Promise | TerrainData A promise for upsampled terrain data for the descendant tile, or undefined if too many asynchronous upsample operations are in progress and the request has been deferred.

wasCreatedByUpsampling

Gets a value indicating whether or not this terrain data was created by upsampling lower resolution terrain data. If this value is false, the data was obtained from some other source, such as by downloading it from a remote server. This method should return true for instances returned from a call to TerrainData#upsample.

Returns:

Boolean True if this instance was created by upsampling; otherwise, false.
