reearth.camera

The reearth.camera namespace provides a comprehensive set of functionalities for managing and interacting with the camera within the reearth environment.

Properties

position

This property provides the current position and orientation of the camera within reearth. It gives a comprehensive information about the camera’s geographical location, altitude, and angular orientation. This information is important for understanding or logging the camera’s viewpoint.

Syntax

reearth.camera.position: CameraPosition | undefined;

Return Value

Type CameraPosition

An object with detailed position and orientation data if the camera position is defined.

Note

For more information on CameraPosition Types, please refer to CameraPosition section.

Type undefined

Indicates that the camera position is not currently available.

Example

// Example 1: Retrieve the current camera position
const currentPosition = reearth.camera.position;

// Check if the position is available
if (currentPosition) {
  console.log("Latitude:", currentPosition.lat);
  console.log("Longitude:", currentPosition.lng);
  console.log("Height:", currentPosition.height);
  console.log("Heading:", currentPosition.heading);
  console.log("Pitch:", currentPosition.pitch);
  console.log("Roll:", currentPosition.roll);
} else {
  console.log("Camera position is undefined.");
}

fov

This represents the camera’s field of view (FOV) in reearth, and defines the extent of the observable world seen at any given moment. This parameter is crucial for adjusting how broad or narrow the camera’s perspective is.

Please note that FOV is only available when the camera is in perspective mode.

Syntax

reearth.camera.fov: number | undefined

Return Value

Type number | undefined

A numeric value representing the field of view of the camera in radians. The field of view can significantly affect how content is perceived in a 3D space, with higher values providing a wider perspective, and lower values providing a more focused, zoomed-in view.

If the field of view is undefined, it indicates that the camera’s FOV is either not set or unavailable under current conditions.

Example

// Example 1: Access and log the camera's current field of view
const cameraFov = reearth.camera.fov;

if (cameraFov !== undefined) {
  console.log("Current Camera FOV (radians):", cameraFov);
} else {
  console.log("Camera FOV is undefined.");
}

// Example 2: Adjust based on FOV
// Check and adjust the camera's field of view if too wide
const cameraFov = reearth.camera.fov;

if (cameraFov !== undefined && cameraFov > 1) {
  console.log("Camera FOV is wide. Consider reducing for a more focused view.");
} else if (cameraFov !== undefined) {
  console.log("Camera FOV is optimal for current view.");
}

aspectRatio

This property represents the width-to-height ratio of the camera’s viewport in the reearth environment. This ratio affects how content is displayed within the camera’s view, ensuring that objects are rendered without distortion based on the dimensions of the viewport.

Syntax

reearth.camera.aspectRatio: number | undefined

Return Value

Type number | undefined

A numeric value representing the aspect ratio of the camera’s viewport, defined as the width divided by the height. For example, a typical widescreen monitor might have an aspect ratio of 16:9, represented as approximately 1.78, while a square aspect ratio would be 1:1 (1.0). The aspect ratio influences how objects appear in the view, with wider aspect ratios providing more horizontal view and taller aspect ratios offering more vertical view.

Example

// Example 1: Access and log the camera's current aspect ratio
const cameraAspectRatio = reearth.camera.aspectRatio;

if (cameraAspectRatio !== undefined) {
  console.log("Current Camera Aspect Ratio:", cameraAspectRatio);
} else {
  console.log("Camera aspect ratio is undefined.");
}

// Example 2: Adjust camera view based on aspect ratio
const cameraAspectRatio = reearth.camera.aspectRatio;

if (cameraAspectRatio !== undefined && cameraAspectRatio > 1.8) {
  console.log(
    "Camera aspect ratio is very wide. Consider adjusting the view for better composition."
  );
} else if (cameraAspectRatio !== undefined) {
  console.log("Camera aspect ratio is within a normal range.");
}

viewport

This property represents the geographic boundaries currently visible in the camera’s view. It returns a GeoRect object defining the western, southern, eastern, and northern extents of the camera’s visible area, which can be useful for understanding the camera’s field of view in geographic coordinates.

Syntax

reearth.camera.viewport: GeoRect | undefined

Return Value

Type GeoRect | undefined

An object describing the geographic boundaries of the current viewport.

Note

For more information on the options included in GeoRect, please refer to GeoRect section.

If the viewport is undefined, it indicates that the camera’s current geographic boundaries are not set or cannot be retrieved, which might occur in scenarios where the camera is not focused on a geographic region.

Example

// Example 1: Access and log the current geographic boundaries of the viewport
const viewportBounds = reearth.camera.viewport;

if (viewportBounds) {
  console.log("Viewport bounds:");
  console.log("West:", viewportBounds.west);
  console.log("South:", viewportBounds.south);
  console.log("East:", viewportBounds.east);
  console.log("North:", viewportBounds.north);
} else {
  console.log("Viewport is undefined.");
}

// Example 2: Check viewport and suggest adjustments
const viewportBounds = reearth.camera.viewport;

if (viewportBounds) {
  console.log("Current Viewport:", viewportBounds);

  // Check if viewport extends too far west or east
  if (viewportBounds.west < -180 || viewportBounds.east > 180) {
    console.log(
      "Viewport extends beyond global bounds. Consider adjusting the camera."
    );
  } else {
    console.log("Viewport is within normal geographic bounds.");
  }
} else {
  console.log("Viewport is undefined.");
}
