Class: VelocityOrientationProperty

VelocityOrientationProperty

new VelocityOrientationProperty(positionopt, ellipsoidopt)

A Property which evaluates to a Quaternion rotation based on the velocity of the provided PositionProperty.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
position Property <optional>
 The position property used to compute the orientation.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid <optional>
 Ellipsoid.WGS84 The ellipsoid used to determine which way is up.

Example
//Create an entity with position and orientation.
var position = new Cesium.SampledProperty();
position.addSamples(...);
var entity = viewer.entities.add({
  position : position,
  orientation : new Cesium.VelocityOrientationProperty(position)
}));
