camera orientation based on heading & tilt?

CesiumJS
1

Hi,

I wonder what the proper way is to set the camera orientation in Cesium,
if onw knows the heading and tilt of the camera (in degrees)?

this is to be able to implement the KML <lookAt> element:
https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#lookat

a sample element would look like this:

    <LookAt>
      <gx:TimeStamp>
        <when>1994</when>
      </gx:TimeStamp>
      <longitude>-122.363</longitude>
      <latitude>37.81</latitude>
      <altitude>2000</altitude>
      <range>500</range>
      <tilt>45</tilt>
      <heading>0</heading>
      <altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>
    </LookAt>

any pointers welcome,

Akos

Hi Akos,

Heading and tilt properties were recently merged to master from pull request #1131.
