SampledProperty

SampledProperty

new

A Property whose value is interpolated for a given time from the provided set of samples and specified interpolation algorithm and degree.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
type Number | Object The type of property, which must be a Number or implement Packable.
Examples
//Create a linearly interpolated Cartesian2
var property = new Cesium.SampledProperty(Cesium.Cartesian2);
property.interpolationDegree = 1;
property.interpolationAlgorithm = LinearApproximation;

//Populate it with data
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:00:00.00Z`), new Cesium.Cartesian2(0, 0));
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-02T00:00:00.00Z`), new Cesium.Cartesian2(4, 7));

//Retrieve an interpolated value
var result = property.getValue(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T12:00:00.00Z`));
//Create a simple numeric SampledProperty that uses third degree Hermite Polynomial Approximation
var property = new Cesium.SampledProperty(Number);
property.setInterpolationOptions({
    interpolationDegree : 3,
    interpolationAlgorithm : Cesium.HermitePolynomialApproximation
});

//Populate it with data
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:00:00.00Z`), 1.0);
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:01:00.00Z`), 6.0);
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:02:00.00Z`), 12.0);
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:03:30.00Z`), 5.0);
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:06:30.00Z`), 2.0);

//Samples can be added in any order.
property.addSample(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:00:30.00Z`), 6.2);

//Retrieve an interpolated value
var result = property.getValue(Cesium.JulianDate.fromIso8601(`2012-08-01T00:02:34.00Z`));

Members

:Event

Gets the event that is raised whenever the definition of this property changes. The definition is considered to have changed if a call to getValue would return a different result for the same time.

:InterpolationAlgorithm

Gets the interpolation algorithm to use when retrieving a value.
Default Value:
  • LinearApproximation

:Number

Gets the degree of interpolation to perform when retrieving a value.
Default Value:
  • 1

:Boolean

Gets a value indicating if this property is constant. A property is considered constant if getValue always returns the same result for the current definition.

:Object

Gets the type of property.

Methods

Adds a new sample

Parameters:
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The sample time.
value Object The value at the provided time.

Adds an array of samples

Parameters:
Name Type Description
times Array An array of JulianDate instances where each index is a sample time.
values Array The array of values, where each value corresponds to the provided times index.
Throws:
DeveloperError : times and values must be the same length..

Adds samples as a single packed array where each new sample is represented as a date, followed by the packed representation of the corresponding value.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
packedSamples Array The array of packed samples.
epoch JulianDate <optional>
If any of the dates in packedSamples are numbers, they are considered an offset from this epoch, in seconds.

Compares this property to the provided property and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
other Property <optional>
The other property.
Returns:
Boolean true if left and right are equal, false otherwise.

Gets the value of the property at the provided time.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
time JulianDate The time for which to retrieve the value.
result Object <optional>
The object to store the value into, if omitted, a new instance is created and returned.
Returns:
Object The modified result parameter or a new instance if the result parameter was not supplied.

Sets the algorithm and degree to use when interpolating a value.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
options Object The options
Properties
Name Type Argument Description
interpolationAlgorithm InterpolationAlgorithm <optional>
The new interpolation algorithm. If undefined, the existing property will be unchanged.
interpolationDegree Number <optional>
The new interpolation degree. If undefined, the existing property will be unchanged.
