Class: CesiumVectorData

CesiumVectorData()

A CesiumVectorData Model is a vector layer (excluding Cesium3DTilesets) that can be used in Cesium maps. This model corresponds to "DataSource" models in Cesium. For example, this could represent vectors rendered from a Cesium GeoJSONDataSource. https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs/ref-doc/GeoJsonDataSource.html. Note: GeoJsonDataSource is the only supported DataSource so far, eventually this model could be used to support Cesium's CzmlDataSource and KmlDataSource (and perhaps a Cesium CustomDataSource).

Methods

addCustomProperties(properties) → {Object}

Given a set of properties from a Feature from this Map Asset model, add any custom properties to the properties object and return it.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
properties Object A set of key-value pairs representing the existing properties of a feature from this asset.
Since:
  • 2.19.0
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The properties object with any custom properties added.
Type
Object

createCesiumModel(recreate)

Creates a Cesium.DataSource model and sets it to this model's 'cesiumModel' attribute. This cesiumModel contains all the information required for Cesium to render the vector data. See https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs/ref-doc/DataSource.html?classFilter=DataSource
Parameters:
Name Type Description
recreate Boolean Set recreate to true to force the function create the Cesium Model again. Otherwise, if a cesium model already exists, that is returned instead.
Source:

featureIsSelected(feature) → {boolean}

Given a feature object from a Feature model, checks if it is part of the selectedFeatures collection. See featureObject property from Feature#defaults.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
feature * An object that a Map widget uses to represent this feature in the map, e.g. a Cesium.Entity or a Cesium.Cesium3DTileFeature
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
Returns true if the given feature is part of the selectedFeatures collection in this asset
Type
boolean

featureIsVisible(properties) → {boolean}

This function checks whether a feature from the MapAsset is visible on the map based on the properties of the feature and the MapAsset's filter settings.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
properties Object The properties of the feature to be filtered. (See the 'properties' attribute of Feature#defaults.)
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
Returns true if the feature passes all the filters, or if there are no filters set for this MapAsset. Returns false if the feature fails any of the filters.
Type
boolean

fetchIcon(pid)

Fetches an SVG given a pid, sanitizes it, then updates the model's icon attribute with the new and SVG string (after sanitizing it)
Parameters:
Name Type Description
pid string
Inherited From:
Source:

formatDateProperty(config, properties) → {string}

Given a definition for a new date property, and the properties that already exist on a specific feature, returns a new string with the formatted date.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
config MapConfig#CustomDateProperty An object that defines the new date property to create
properties Object key-value pairs representing existing properties in a Feature
Since:
  • 2.19.0
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The value for the new date property, formatted as defined by config, for the given feature
Type
string

formatStringProperty(config, properties) → {string}

For a given set of Feature properties and a definition for a new sting property, returns the value of the custom property. Note that since only static strings are supported so far, this function essentially just returns the value of config.value. This function exists to allow support of dynamic strings in the future (e.g. combining strings from existing properties)
Parameters:
Name Type Description
config MapConfig#CustomStringProperty The object the defines the new custom property
properties Object key-value pairs representing existing properties in a Feature
Since:
  • 2.19.0
Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:
The new string for the given Feature property
Type
string

getBoundingSphere(dataSourceDisplay) → {Promise}

Waits for the model to be ready to display, then gets a Cesium Bounding Sphere that can be used to navigate to view the full extent of the vector data. See https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs/ref-doc/BoundingSphere.html.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dataSourceDisplay Cesium.DataSourceDisplay The data source display attached to the CesiumWidget scene that this bounding sphere is for. Required.
Source:
Returns:
Returns a promise that resolves to a Cesium Bounding Sphere when ready
Type
Promise

getColor(properties) → {AssetColor#Color}

Given properties of a Feature model from this MapAsset, returns the color associated with that feature.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
properties Object The properties of the feature to get the color for; An object containing key-value mapping of property names to properties. (See the 'properties' attribute of Feature#defaults.)

Options that are supported for creating Cesium DataSources. The object will be passed to the cesium DataSource's load method as options, so the properties listed in the Cesium documentation are also supported. Each type of Cesium Data Source has a specific set of load method options. See for example, the GeoJsonDataSource options: https://cesium.com/learn/cesiumjs/ref-doc/GeoJsonDataSource.html
