Day/Night line shading implementation

CesiumJS

Hello,

I am very interested in implementing the day-night shading that is shown in this showcase: http://apps.agi.com/SatelliteViewer/?Status=Operational

Is this built in with Cesium?

Thank you.

Hello,

You can enable day/night lighting with this line of code:

viewer.scene.globe.enableLighting = true;

``

Best,

Thank you!

Is the lighting driven by Viewer.clock? If the clock time is changed, will the day/night be updated accordingly?

Yes! The lighting is determined by the approximate position of the sun, so day/night should be correct for the time on the clock.

Best,

Hannah
