ImageryLayer

ImageryLayer

new

An imagery layer that displays tiled image data from a single imagery provider on a CentralBody.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
imageryProvider ImageryProvider The imagery provider to use.
description.extent Extent <optional>
 imageryProvider.extent The extent of the layer. This extent can limit the visible portion of the imagery provider.
description.alpha Number | Function <optional>
 1.0 The alpha blending value of this layer, from 0.0 to 1.0. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the alpha is required, and it is expected to return the alpha value to use for the tile.
description.brightness Number | Function <optional>
 1.0 The brightness of this layer. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 makes the imagery darker while greater than 1.0 makes it brighter. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the brightness is required, and it is expected to return the brightness value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
description.contrast Number | Function <optional>
 1.0 The contrast of this layer. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 reduces the contrast while greater than 1.0 increases it. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the contrast is required, and it is expected to return the contrast value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
description.hue Number | Function <optional>
 0.0 The hue of this layer. 0.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the hue is required, and it is expected to return the contrast value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
description.saturation Number | Function <optional>
 1.0 The saturation of this layer. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 reduces the saturation while greater than 1.0 increases it. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the saturation is required, and it is expected to return the contrast value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
description.gamma Number | Function <optional>
 1.0 The gamma correction to apply to this layer. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the gamma is required, and it is expected to return the gamma value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
description.show Boolean <optional>
 true True if the layer is shown; otherwise, false.
description.maximumAnisotropy Number <optional>
 maximum supported The maximum anisotropy level to use for texture filtering. If this parameter is not specified, the maximum anisotropy supported by the WebGL stack will be used. Larger values make the imagery look better in horizon views.
description.minimumTerrainLevel Number <optional>
 The minimum terrain level-of-detail at which to show this imagery layer, or undefined to show it at all levels. Level zero is the least-detailed level.
description.maximumTerrainLevel Number <optional>
 The maximum terrain level-of-detail at which to show this imagery layer, or undefined to show it at all levels. Level zero is the least-detailed level.

:Number

The alpha blending value of this layer, usually from 0.0 to 1.0. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the alpha is required, and it is expected to return the alpha value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
Default Value:
  • 1.0

:Number

The brightness of this layer. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 makes the imagery darker while greater than 1.0 makes it brighter. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the brightness is required, and it is expected to return the brightness value to use for the tile. The function is executed for every frame and for every tile, so it must be fast.
Default Value:

:Number

The contrast of this layer. 1.0 uses the unmodified imagery color. Less than 1.0 reduces the contrast while greater than 1.0 increases it. This can either be a simple number or a function with the signature function(frameState, layer, x, y, level). The function is passed the current FrameState, this layer, and the x, y, and level coordinates of the imagery tile for which the contrast is required, and it is expected to return the contrast value to use for the tile.

  • 1.0

<static> :Number

This value is used as the default contrast for the imagery layer if one is not provided during construction or by the imagery provider. This value does not modify the contrast of the imagery.

Methods

Destroys the WebGL resources held by this object. Destroying an object allows for deterministic release of WebGL resources, instead of relying on the garbage collector to destroy this object.

Once an object is destroyed, it should not be used; calling any function other than isDestroyed will result in a DeveloperError exception. Therefore, assign the return value (undefined) to the object as done in the example.

Throws:
DeveloperError : This object was destroyed, i.e., destroy() was called.
Returns:
Example
imageryLayer = imageryLayer && imageryLayer.destroy();
See:

Gets the extent of this layer. If this extent is smaller than the extent of the ImageryProvider, only a portion of the imagery provider is shown.

Returns:
Extent The extent.

Gets the imagery provider for this layer.

Returns:
ImageryProvider The imagery provider.

Gets a value indicating whether this layer is the base layer in the ImageryLayerCollection. The base layer is the one that underlies all others. It is special in that it is treated as if it has global extent, even if it actually does not, by stretching the texels at the edges over the entire globe.

Returns:
Boolean true if this is the base layer; otherwise, false.

Returns true if this object was destroyed; otherwise, false.

If this object was destroyed, it should not be used; calling any function other than isDestroyed will result in a DeveloperError exception.

Returns:
Boolean True if this object was destroyed; otherwise, false.
