Material

new Cesium.Material(options)

A Material defines surface appearance through a combination of diffuse, specular, normal, emission, and alpha components. These values are specified using a JSON schema called Fabric which gets parsed and assembled into glsl shader code behind-the-scenes. Check out the wiki page for more details on Fabric.

使用示例:
// Create a color material with fromType:
polygon.material = Cesium.Material.fromType('Color');
polygon.material.uniforms.color = new Cesium.Color(1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);

// Create the default material:
polygon.material = new Cesium.Material();

// Create a color material with full Fabric notation:
polygon.material = new Cesium.Material({
  fabric: {
    type: 'Color',
    uniforms: {
      color: new Cesium.Color(1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0)

方法

static Cesium.Material.fromType(type, uniforms)Material

Creates a new material using an existing material type.

Shorthand for: new Material({fabric : {type : type}});
参数名称 类型 描述信息
type string The base material type.
uniforms object 可选 Overrides for the default uniforms.
返回值:
New material object.
Throws:
使用示例:
const material = Cesium.Material.fromType('Color', {
  color: new Cesium.Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
});
Destroys the WebGL resources held by this object. Destroying an object allows for deterministic release of WebGL resources, instead of relying on the garbage collector to destroy this object.

Once an object is destroyed, it should not be used; calling any function other than isDestroyed will result in a DeveloperError exception. Therefore, assign the return value (undefined) to the object as done in the example.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : This object was destroyed, i.e., destroy() was called.
使用示例:
material = material && material.destroy();
参考:

isDestroyed()boolean

Returns true if this object was destroyed; otherwise, false.

If this object was destroyed, it should not be used; calling any function other than isDestroyed will result in a DeveloperError exception.
返回值:
True if this object was destroyed; otherwise, false.
参考:

isTranslucent()boolean

Gets whether or not this material is translucent.
返回值:
true if this material is translucent, false otherwise.
