SampledPositionProperty

new SampledPositionProperty(referenceFrame)

A SampledProperty which is also a PositionProperty.
Name Type Default Description
referenceFrame ReferenceFrame ReferenceFrame.FIXED optional The reference frame in which the position is defined.

Members

definitionChanged :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 :InterpolationAlgorithm

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

interpolationDegree :Object

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

isConstant :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.

referenceFrame :ReferenceFrame

Gets the reference frame in which the position is defined.
Default Value: ReferenceFrame.FIXED;

Methods

addSample(time, value)

Adds a new sample
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The sample time.
value Cartesian3 The value at the provided time.

addSamples(times, values)

Adds an array of samples
Name Type Description
times JulianDate[] An array of JulianDate instances where each index is a sample time.
values Cartesian3[] The array of Cartesian3 instances, where each value corresponds to the provided times index.
Throws:

addSamplesPackedArray(packedSamples, epoch)

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.
Name Type Description
packedSamples Number[] 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.

equals(other)Boolean

Compares this property to the provided property and returns true if they are equal, false otherwise.
Name Type Description
other Property optional The other property.
Returns:
true if left and right are equal, false otherwise.

getValue(time, result)Cartesian3

Gets the value of the property at the provided time.
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The time for which to retrieve the value.
result Cartesian3 optional The object to store the value into, if omitted, a new instance is created and returned.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance if the result parameter was not supplied.

getValueInReferenceFrame(time, referenceFrame, result)Cartesian3

Gets the value of the property at the provided time and in the provided reference frame.
Name Type Description
time JulianDate The time for which to retrieve the value.
referenceFrame ReferenceFrame The desired referenceFrame of the result.
result Cartesian3 optional The object to store the value into, if omitted, a new instance is created and returned.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance if the result parameter was not supplied.

setInterpolationOptions(options)

Sets the algorithm and degree to use when interpolating a position.
Name Type Description
options Object The options
Name Type 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.
