SceneTransforms

Methods

<static> wgs84ToWindowCoordinates

Transforms a position in WGS84 coordinates to window coordinates. This is commonly used to place an HTML element at the same screen position as an object in the scene.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
scene	Scene			The scene.
position	Cartesian3			The position in WGS84 (world) coordinates.
result	Cartesian2	<optional>	undefined	An optional object to return the input position transformed to window coordinates.

Throws:

• DeveloperError : scene is required.
• DeveloperError : position is required.

Returns:

Cartesian2 The modified result parameter or a new Cartesian3 instance if one was not provided. This may be undefined if the input position is near the center of the ellipsoid.

Example

// Output the window position of longitude/latitude (0, 0) every time the mouse moves.
var scene = widget.scene;
var ellipsoid = widget.centralBody.getEllipsoid();
var position = ellipsoid.cartographicToCartesian(new Cartographic(0.0, 0.0));
var handler = new Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventHandler(scene.getCanvas());
handler.setInputAction(function(movement) {
    console.log(Cesium.SceneTransforms.wgs84ToWindowCoordinates(scene, position));
}, Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType.MOUSE_MOVE);
