Gets the tiling scheme used by this provider. This function should not be called before EllipsoidTerrainProvider#ready returns true.

Methods

getLevelMaximumGeometricError

Gets the maximum geometric error allowed in a tile at a given level.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
level	Number	The tile level for which to get the maximum geometric error.

Returns:

Number The maximum geometric error.

hasWaterMask

Gets a value indicating whether or not the provider includes a water mask. The water mask indicates which areas of the globe are water rather than land, so they can be rendered as a reflective surface with animated waves.

Returns:

Boolean True if the provider has a water mask; otherwise, false.

requestTileGeometry

Requests the geometry for a given tile. This function should not be called before TerrainProvider#ready returns true. The result includes terrain data and indicates that all child tiles are available.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
x	Number			The X coordinate of the tile for which to request geometry.
y	Number			The Y coordinate of the tile for which to request geometry.
level	Number			The level of the tile for which to request geometry.
throttleRequests	Boolean	<optional>	true	True if the number of simultaneous requests should be limited, or false if the request should be initiated regardless of the number of requests already in progress.

Returns:

Promise | TerrainData A promise for the requested geometry. If this method returns undefined instead of a promise, it is an indication that too many requests are already pending and the request will be retried later.
