Members

Gets the credit to display when this imagery provider is active. Typically this is used to credit the source of the imagery. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.

defaultAlpha : Number|undefined

The default alpha blending value of this provider, with 0.0 representing fully transparent and 1.0 representing fully opaque.
Default Value: undefined

defaultBrightness : Number|undefined

The default brightness of this provider. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 makes the imagery darker while greater than 1.0 makes it brighter.
Default Value: undefined

defaultContrast : Number|undefined

The default contrast of this provider. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 reduces the contrast while greater than 1.0 increases it.
Default Value: undefined

defaultDayAlpha : Number|undefined

The default alpha blending value on the day side of the globe of this provider, with 0.0 representing fully transparent and 1.0 representing fully opaque.
Default Value: undefined

defaultGamma : Number|undefined

The default gamma correction to apply to this provider. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color.
Default Value: undefined

defaultHue : Number|undefined

The default hue of this provider in radians. 0.0 uses the unmodified imagery color.
Default Value: undefined
The default texture magnification filter to apply to this provider.
Default Value: undefined
The default texture minification filter to apply to this provider.
Default Value: undefined

defaultNightAlpha : Number|undefined

The default alpha blending value on the night side of the globe of this provider, with 0.0 representing fully transparent and 1.0 representing fully opaque.
Default Value: undefined

defaultSaturation : Number|undefined

The default saturation of this provider. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 reduces the saturation while greater than 1.0 increases it.
Default Value: undefined
Gets an event that is raised when the imagery provider encounters an asynchronous error.. By subscribing to the event, you will be notified of the error and can potentially recover from it. Event listeners are passed an instance of TileProviderError.

readonly hasAlphaChannel : Boolean

Gets a value indicating whether or not the images provided by this imagery provider include an alpha channel. If this property is false, an alpha channel, if present, will be ignored. If this property is true, any images without an alpha channel will be treated as if their alpha is 1.0 everywhere. When this property is false, memory usage and texture upload time are reduced.

readonly maximumLevel : Number|undefined

Gets the maximum level-of-detail that can be requested. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.

readonly minimumLevel : Number

Gets the minimum level-of-detail that can be requested. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true. Generally, a minimum level should only be used when the rectangle of the imagery is small enough that the number of tiles at the minimum level is small. An imagery provider with more than a few tiles at the minimum level will lead to rendering problems.
Gets the proxy used by this provider.
Gets a value indicating whether or not the provider is ready for use.

readonly readyPromise : Promise.<Boolean>

Gets a promise that resolves to true when the provider is ready for use.
Gets the rectangle, in radians, of the imagery provided by the instance. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the tile discard policy. If not undefined, the discard policy is responsible for filtering out "missing" tiles via its shouldDiscardImage function. If this function returns undefined, no tiles are filtered. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the height of each tile, in pixels. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the width of each tile, in pixels. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the tiling scheme used by the provider. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the URL of the Mapbox server.

Methods

getTileCredits(x, y, level)Array.<Credit>

Gets the credits to be displayed when a given tile is displayed.
Name Type Description
x Number The tile X coordinate.
y Number The tile Y coordinate.
level Number The tile level;
Returns:
The credits to be displayed when the tile is displayed.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : getTileCredits must not be called before the imagery provider is ready.

pickFeatures(x, y, level, longitude, latitude)Promise.<Array.<ImageryLayerFeatureInfo>>|undefined

Asynchronously determines what features, if any, are located at a given longitude and latitude within a tile. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true. This function is optional, so it may not exist on all ImageryProviders.
Name Type Description
x Number The tile X coordinate.
y Number The tile Y coordinate.
level Number The tile level.
longitude Number The longitude at which to pick features.
latitude Number The latitude at which to pick features.
Returns:
A promise for the picked features that will resolve when the asynchronous picking completes. The resolved value is an array of ImageryLayerFeatureInfo instances. The array may be empty if no features are found at the given location. It may also be undefined if picking is not supported.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : pickFeatures must not be called before the imagery provider is ready.

requestImage(x, y, level, request)Promise.<ImageryTypes>|undefined

Requests the image for a given tile. This function should not be called before MapboxImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Name Type Description
x Number The tile X coordinate.
y Number The tile Y coordinate.
level Number The tile level.
request Request optional The request object. Intended for internal use only.
Returns:
A promise for the image that will resolve when the image is available, or undefined if there are too many active requests to the server, and the request should be retried later.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : requestImage must not be called before the imagery provider is ready.

Type Definitions

Cesium.MapboxImageryProvider.ConstructorOptions

Initialization options for the MapboxImageryProvider constructor
Properties:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
url String <optional>
'https://api.mapbox.com/v4/' The Mapbox server url.
mapId String The Mapbox Map ID.
accessToken String The public access token for the imagery.
format String <optional>
'png' The format of the image request.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid <optional>
The ellipsoid. If not specified, the WGS84 ellipsoid is used.
minimumLevel Number <optional>
0 The minimum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider. Take care when specifying this that the number of tiles at the minimum level is small, such as four or less. A larger number is likely to result in rendering problems.
maximumLevel Number <optional>
The maximum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider, or undefined if there is no limit.
rectangle Rectangle <optional>
Rectangle.MAX_VALUE The rectangle, in radians, covered by the image.
credit Credit | String <optional>
