# GoogleEarthImageryProvider

#### new Cesium.GoogleEarthImageryProvider(options)
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 101

  Provides tiled imagery using the Google Earth Imagery API. Notes: This imagery provider does not work with the public Google Earth servers. It works with the Google Earth Enterprise Server. By default the Google Earth Enterprise server does not set the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers. You can either use a proxy server which adds these headers, or in the /opt/google/gehttpd/conf/gehttpd.conf and add the 'Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"' option to the '<Directory />' and '<Directory "/opt/google/gehttpd/htdocs">' directives.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---

  `options`

  Object

  Object with the following properties:

  Name | Type | Default | Description
  --- | --- | --- | ---
  `url` | String |  | The url of the Google Earth server hosting the imagery.

  `channel`

  Number

  The channel (id) to be used when requesting data from the server. The channel number can be found by looking at the json file located at: earth.localdomain/default_map/query?request=Json&vars=geeServerDefs The /default_map path may differ depending on your Google Earth Enterprise server configuration. Look for the "id" that is associated with a "ImageryMaps" requestType. There may be more than one id available. Example: { layers: [ { id: 1002, requestType: "ImageryMaps" }, { id: 1007, requestType: "VectorMapsRaster" } ] }

  `path` | String | `"/default_map"` | optional The path of the Google Earth server hosting the imagery.
  `maximumLevel` | Number |  | optional The maximum level-of-detail supported by the Google Earth Enterprise server, or undefined if there is no limit.
  `tileDiscardPolicy` | TileDiscardPolicy |  | optional The policy that determines if a tile is invalid and should be discarded. To ensure that no tiles are discarded, construct and pass a `NeverTileDiscardPolicy` for this parameter.
  `ellipsoid` | Ellipsoid |  | optional The ellipsoid. If not specified, the WGS84 ellipsoid is used.
  `proxy` | Proxy |  | optional A proxy to use for requests. This object is expected to have a getURL function which returns the proxied URL, if needed.

  ##### Throws:

  - RuntimeError : Could not find layer with channel (id) of `options.channel`.
  - RuntimeError : Could not find a version in channel (id) `options.channel`.
  - RuntimeError : Unsupported projection `data.projection`.

  ##### Example:

      var google = new Cesium.GoogleEarthImageryProvider({
          url : 'https://earth.localdomain',
          channel : 1008
      });

### Members

#### readonlychannel : Number
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 272

  Gets the imagery channel (id) currently being used.

#### readonlycredit : Credit
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 495

  Gets the credit to display when this imagery provider is active. Typically this is used to credit the source of the imagery. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### defaultGamma : Number
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 129

  The default `ImageryLayer#gamma` to use for imagery layers created for this provider. By default, this is set to 1.9. Changing this value after creating an `ImageryLayer` for this provider will have no effect. Instead, set the layer's `ImageryLayer#gamma` property.
  Default Value: `1.9`

#### readonlyerrorEvent : Event
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 458

  Gets an event that is raised when the imagery provider encounters an asynchronous error. By subscribing to the event, you will be notified of the error and can potentially recover from it. Event listeners are passed an instance of `TileProviderError`.

#### readonlyhasAlphaChannel : Boolean
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 511

  Gets a value indicating whether or not the images provided by this imagery provider include an alpha channel. If this property is false, an alpha channel, if present, will be ignored. If this property is true, any images without an alpha channel will be treated as if their alpha is 1.0 everywhere. When this property is false, memory usage and texture upload time are reduced.

#### readonlymaximumLevel : Number
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 323

  Gets the maximum level-of-detail that can be requested. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlyminimumLevel : Number
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 342

  Gets the minimum level-of-detail that can be requested. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlypath : String
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 248

  Gets the url path of the data on the Google Earth server.

#### readonlyproxy : Proxy
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 260

  Gets the proxy used by this provider.

#### readonlyready : Boolean
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 470

  Gets a value indicating whether or not the provider is ready for use.

#### readonlyreadyPromise : Promise.<Boolean>
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 482

  Gets a promise that resolves to true when the provider is ready for use.

#### readonlyrectangle : Rectangle
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 417

  Gets the rectangle, in radians, of the imagery provided by this instance. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlyrequestType : String
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 399

  Gets the type of data that is being requested from the provider. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlytileDiscardPolicy : TileDiscardPolicy
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 438

  Gets the tile discard policy. If not undefined, the discard policy is responsible for filtering out "missing" tiles via its shouldDiscardImage function. If this function returns undefined, no tiles are filtered. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlytileHeight : Number
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 304

  Gets the height of each tile, in pixels. This function should not be called before `GoogleEarthImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

  `level` | Number | The tile level;

  ##### Returns:

  The credits to be displayed when the tile is displayed.

  ##### Throws:

  - DeveloperError : `getTileCredits` must not be called before the imagery provider is ready.

#### pickFeatures(x, y, level, longitude, latitude) → Promise.<Array.<ImageryLayerFeatureInfo>>|undefined
Scene/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.js 571

  Picking features is not currently supported by this imagery provider, so this function simply returns undefined.
