| name | czml-cylinder |
| description | CZML cylinders and cones for towers, sensor volumes, or tapered 3D shapes. Use when the intent describes a cylinder, cone, tapered column, tower, or truncated-cone shape, with a top radius, bottom radius, and length. |
CZML Cylinder
- "cylinder":
{ "length": <number>, "topRadius": <number>, "bottomRadius": <number>, "material": { "solidColor": { "color": { "rgba": [r,g,b,a] } } }, "fill": true|false, "outline": true|false, "outlineColor": { "rgba": [r,g,b,a] }, "show": true|false } — a
cylinder, truncated cone, or cone centered on the entity's "position", oriented vertically by
default.
- A cone is just a cylinder with
"topRadius": 0.
- "length" is the total height in meters; "topRadius"/"bottomRadius" are in meters.
Example: a green cylinder and a red cone
