VelocityOrientationProperty

new Cesium.VelocityOrientationProperty(position, ellipsoid)

A Property which evaluates to a Quaternion rotation based on the velocity of the provided PositionProperty.
Name Type Default Description
position Property optional The position property used to compute the orientation.
ellipsoid Ellipsoid Ellipsoid.WGS84 optional The ellipsoid used to determine which way is up.
Example:
//Create an entity with position and orientation.
var position = new Cesium.SampledProperty();
position.addSamples(...);
var entity = viewer.entities.add({
  position : position,
  orientation : new Cesium.VelocityOrientationProperty(position)
}));
