sampleTerrain(terrainProvider, level, positions, rejectOnTileFail) → Promise.<Array.<Cartographic>>
engine/Source/Core/sampleTerrain.js 4
Initiates a terrain height query for an array of Cartographic positions by
requesting tiles from a terrain provider, sampling, and interpolating. The interpolation
matches the triangles used to render the terrain at the specified level. The query
happens asynchronously, so this function returns a promise that is resolved when
the query completes. Each point height is modified in place. If a height can not be
determined because no terrain data is available for the specified level at that location,
or another error occurs, the height is set to undefined. As is typical of the
Cartographic type, the supplied height is a height above the reference ellipsoid
(such as Ellipsoid.WGS84) rather than an altitude above mean sea level. In other
words, it will not necessarily be 0.0 if sampled in the ocean. This function needs the
terrain level of detail as input, if you need to get the altitude of the terrain as precisely
as possible (i.e. with maximum level of detail) use sampleTerrainMostDetailed.
