PolylineMaterialAppearance

new Cesium.PolylineMaterialAppearance(options)
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 59

An appearance for PolylineGeometry that supports shading with materials.
Name Type Description
options Object optional Object with the following properties:
Name Type Default Description
translucent Boolean true optional When true, the geometry is expected to appear translucent so PolylineMaterialAppearance#renderState has alpha blending enabled.
material Material Material.ColorType optional The material used to determine the fragment color.
vertexShaderSource String optional Optional GLSL vertex shader source to override the default vertex shader.
fragmentShaderSource String optional Optional GLSL fragment shader source to override the default fragment shader.
renderState RenderState optional Optional render state to override the default render state.
Example:
var primitive = new Cesium.Primitive({
  geometryInstances : new Cesium.GeometryInstance({
    geometry : new Cesium.PolylineGeometry({
      positions : Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegreesArray([
        0.0, 0.0,
        5.0, 0.0
      ]),
      width : 10.0,
      vertexFormat : Cesium.PolylineMaterialAppearance.VERTEX_FORMAT
    })
  }),
  appearance : new Cesium.PolylineMaterialAppearance({
    material : Cesium.Material.fromType('Color')
  })
});

staticconstantCesium.PolylineMaterialAppearance.VERTEX_FORMAT : VertexFormat
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 191

The VertexFormat that all PolylineMaterialAppearance instances are compatible with. This requires position and st attributes.

readonlyclosed : Boolean
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 158

When true, the geometry is expected to be closed so PolylineMaterialAppearance#renderState has backface culling enabled. This is always false for PolylineMaterialAppearance.
Default Value: false

readonlyfragmentShaderSource : String
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 121

The GLSL source code for the fragment shader.

material : Material
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 76

The material used to determine the fragment color. Unlike other PolylineMaterialAppearance properties, this is not read-only, so an appearance's material can change on the fly.
Default Value: Material.ColorType
See:

readonlyrenderState : Object
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 140

The WebGL fixed-function state to use when rendering the geometry.

The render state can be explicitly defined when constructing a PolylineMaterialAppearance instance, or it is set implicitly via PolylineMaterialAppearance#translucent and PolylineMaterialAppearance#closed.

translucent : Boolean
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 86

When true, the geometry is expected to appear translucent so PolylineMaterialAppearance#renderState has alpha blending enabled.
Default Value: true

readonlyvertexFormat : VertexFormat
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 176

The VertexFormat that this appearance instance is compatible with. A geometry can have more vertex attributes and still be compatible - at a potential performance cost - but it can't have less.
Default Value: PolylineMaterialAppearance.VERTEX_FORMAT

readonlyvertexShaderSource : String
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 107

The GLSL source code for the vertex shader.

Methods

getFragmentShaderSource() → String
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 201

Procedurally creates the full GLSL fragment shader source. For PolylineMaterialAppearance, this is derived from PolylineMaterialAppearance#fragmentShaderSource and PolylineMaterialAppearance#material.
Returns:
The full GLSL fragment shader source.

getRenderState() → Object
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 221

Creates a render state. This is not the final render state instance; instead, it can contain a subset of render state properties identical to the render state created in the context.
Returns:
The render state.

isTranslucent() → Boolean
Scene/PolylineMaterialAppearance.js 210

Determines if the geometry is translucent based on PolylineMaterialAppearance#translucent and Material#isTranslucent.
Returns:
true if the appearance is translucent.
