CameraEventAggregator

new Cesium.CameraEventAggregator(canvas)

Aggregates input events. For example, suppose the following inputs are received between frames: left mouse button down, mouse move, mouse move, left mouse button up. These events will be aggregated into one event with a start and end position of the mouse.
