import cesiumkit

viewer = cesiumkit.Viewer()
viewer.camera.fly_to(
    cesiumkit.Cartesian3.from_degrees(-74.006, 40.7128, 250000),
    duration=3.0,
)
viewer.camera.look_at(
    cesiumkit.Cartesian3.from_degrees(-74.006, 40.7128, 0),
    cesiumkit.HeadingPitchRange(pitch=-0.5),
)

Camera()

Camera operations manager.

Queues operations to be serialized as JS statements. Supports method chaining for a fluent API.

Methods:

Name	Description
`set_view`	Queue a setView operation.
`fly_to`	Queue a flyTo operation.
`look_at`	Queue a lookAt operation.
`fly_to_entities`	Queue a flyTo that fits the camera to the extent of all entities.
`fly_to_bounding_sphere`	Queue a flyToBoundingSphere operation.
`zoom_in`	Queue a zoomIn operation.
`zoom_out`	Queue a zoomOut operation.
`to_js_operations`	Return list of JS statements for all queued camera operations.

set_view ¶

set_view(destination: Any, orientation: Any = None) -> Camera

Queue a setView operation.

fly_to ¶

fly_to(
    destination: Any,
    orientation: Any = None,
    duration: float = 3.0,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> Camera

Queue a flyTo operation.

look_at ¶

look_at(target: Any, offset: Any) -> Camera

Queue a lookAt operation.

fly_to_entities ¶

fly_to_entities(duration: float = 3.0) -> Camera

Queue a flyTo that fits the camera to the extent of all entities.

Emits viewer.flyTo(viewer.entities, {...}); the globe animates to a view containing every entity currently in the scene.

fly_to_bounding_sphere ¶

fly_to_bounding_sphere(
    bounding_sphere: Any, duration: float = 3.0, **kwargs: Any
) -> Camera

Queue a flyToBoundingSphere operation.

zoom_in ¶

zoom_in(amount: float | None = None) -> Camera

Queue a zoomIn operation.

zoom_out ¶

zoom_out(amount: float | None = None) -> Camera

Queue a zoomOut operation.

to_js_operations ¶

to_js_operations(viewer_var: str = 'viewer') -> list[str]

Return list of JS statements for all queued camera operations.
