I’m trying to figure out how to just display the path of gx:track KML data without animation or anything. I can only figure out how to display track data with the animation, like in this sandcastle. I assume this is simple to do, but can’t figure out what I’m missing.
Ultimately, I’d like to be able to load a GeoJSON file, a few KML gps track files, and zoom to view the entire result.
Thanks
The problem is that I’m not creating an XML file, I’m just trying to display a user imported XML file. Is there an option I can pass in or something to just tell Cesium to display the entire file instead of animating it? Can I set the clock to the last frame or something?
Here is an example of what it looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>1
1
ffDB9034 4 80DB9034 f8000080 8KIWI-KIWI
#trackStyle
absolute

If you know when the last frame is (perhaps parsing it out of the input XML?) you can set Cesium’s clock with:
viewer.clock.currentTime.secondsOfDay =
``
Here’s an example, where it starts at what I think is the end of the trail.
Nice!! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks again for the suggestion. Instead of digging in to find the clock end time, I just put a very high number, and it works every time!
Good to hear you figured out a simple way to do it, and thanks for posting it back here so others can find it!
