BingMapsImageryProvider

new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider(options)

Provides tiled imagery using the Bing Maps Imagery REST API.
Name Type Description
options Object Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
url String The url of the Bing Maps server hosting the imagery.
key String optional The Bing Maps key for your application, which can be created at https://www.bingmapsportal.com/. If this parameter is not provided, BingMapsApi.defaultKey is used. If BingMapsApi.defaultKey is undefined as well, a message is written to the console reminding you that you must create and supply a Bing Maps key as soon as possible. Please do not deploy an application that uses Bing Maps imagery without creating a separate key for your application.
tileProtocol String optional The protocol to use when loading tiles, e.g. 'http:' or 'https:'. By default, tiles are loaded using the same protocol as the page.
mapStyle String BingMapsStyle.AERIAL optional The type of Bing Maps imagery to load.
culture String '' optional The culture to use when requesting Bing Maps imagery. Not all cultures are supported. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh441729.aspx for information on the supported cultures.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid optional The ellipsoid. If not specified, the WGS84 ellipsoid is used.
tileDiscardPolicy TileDiscardPolicy optional The policy that determines if a tile is invalid and should be discarded. If this value is not specified, a default DiscardMissingTileImagePolicy is used which requests tile 0,0 at the maximum tile level and checks pixels (0,0), (120,140), (130,160), (200,50), and (200,200). If all of these pixels are transparent, the discard check is disabled and no tiles are discarded. If any of them have a non-transparent color, any tile that has the same values in these pixel locations is discarded. The end result of these defaults should be correct tile discarding for a standard Bing Maps server. To ensure that no tiles are discarded, construct and pass a NeverTileDiscardPolicy for this parameter.
proxy Proxy optional A proxy to use for requests. This object is expected to have a getURL function which returns the proxied URL, if needed.
Example:
var bing = new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider({
    url : '//dev.virtualearth.net',
    key : 'get-yours-at-https://www.bingmapsportal.com/',
    mapStyle : Cesium.BingMapsStyle.AERIAL
});

readonlyculture : String

The culture to use when requesting Bing Maps imagery. Not all cultures are supported. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh441729.aspx for information on the supported cultures.

defaultGamma : Number

The default ImageryLayer#gamma to use for imagery layers created for this provider. By default, this is set to 1.3 for the "aerial" and "aerial with labels" map styles and 1.0 for all others. Changing this value after creating an ImageryLayer for this provider will have no effect. Instead, set the layer's ImageryLayer#gamma property.
Default Value: 1.0
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.

readonlyhasAlphaChannel : 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. Setting this property to false reduces memory usage and texture upload time.
Gets the Bing Maps key.
Gets the type of Bing Maps imagery to load.

readonlymaximumLevel : Number

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

readonlyminimumLevel : Number

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

readonlyproxy : Proxy

Gets the proxy used by this provider.

readonlyready : Boolean

Gets a value indicating whether or not the provider is ready for use.

readonlyreadyPromise : 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 this instance. This function should not be called before BingMapsImageryProvider#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 BingMapsImageryProvider#ready returns true.

readonlytileHeight : Number

Gets the height of each tile, in pixels. This function should not be called before BingMapsImageryProvider#ready returns true.

readonlytileWidth : Number

Gets the width of each tile, in pixels. This function should not be called before BingMapsImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the tiling scheme used by this provider. This function should not be called before BingMapsImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Gets the name of the BingMaps server url hosting the imagery.

Methods

staticCesium.BingMapsImageryProvider.quadKeyToTileXY(quadkey)

Converts a tile's quadkey used to request an image from a Bing Maps server into the (x, y, level) position.
Name Type Description
quadkey String The tile's quad key
See:

staticCesium.BingMapsImageryProvider.tileXYToQuadKey(x, y, level)

Converts a tiles (x, y, level) position into a quadkey used to request an image from a Bing Maps server.
Name Type Description
x Number The tile's x coordinate.
y Number The tile's y coordinate.
level Number The tile's zoom level.
See:

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

Picking features is not currently supported by this imagery provider, so this function simply returns undefined.
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.

requestImage(x, y, level)Promise.<(Image|Canvas)>|undefined

Requests the image for a given tile. This function should not be called before BingMapsImageryProvider#ready returns true.
Name Type Description
x Number The tile X coordinate.
y Number The tile Y coordinate.
level Number The tile level.
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. The resolved image may be either an Image or a Canvas DOM object.
