Methods

<static>

Given two DynamicObjects, takes the position, orientation, vertexPositions and availability properties from the second and assigns them to the first, assuming such properties did not already exist. This method is not normally called directly, but is part of the array of CZML processing functions that is passed into the CompositeDynamicObjectCollection constructor.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
targetObject DynamicObject The DynamicObject which will have properties merged onto it.
objectToMerge DynamicObject The DynamicObject containing properties to be merged.

dynamicObject DynamicObject The DynamicObject which will contain the availability data.
packet Object The CZML packet to process.
Returns:
Boolean true if the property was newly created while processing the packet, false otherwise.

DynamicObject instances are the primary data store for processed CZML data. They are used primarily by the visualizers to create and maintain graphic primitives that represent the DynamicObject's properties at a specific time.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
id Object <optional>
 A unique identifier for this object. If no id is provided, a GUID is generated.
