Is it possible to change the center position of the Columbus View map to any position I want?

The default view appears to be centered at 0.0 degrees longitude, but is it possible to center it at any position, for example, as shown in the figure below?

A similar question was previously asked in the forum, but at that time it appeared that Cesium did not yet support it.

> Hello all, The default view of the 2D map is usually by the “land scientists”, and most “ocean scientists” would like to see a 2D map centers at the North Pole. I’d like to know how to use Cesium to make the 2D map center at a given location, e.g. south pole, north pole. Thanks in advance, Steven
