KML kml-gx:angles support

CesiumJS
1

Hello,

I see in KmlDataSource.js there is a check:
if (angleNodes.length > 0) {
oneTimeWarning(
“kml-gx:angles”,
“KML - gx:angles are not supported in gx:Tracks”,
);
}

I needed support for this and fixed it in my local branch. Is there a reason this was not supported or is this something that would be wanted in the build? If it is something that is wanted in the main build, I would like to start a thread on how to best configure this feature. Should it be enabled through configuration or if it should be supported etc. Please advise on next steps and I can start the PR.

Thanks much!

Hello,
I have not seen any comment or ask for this feature.
Is this something that is wanted in the release build, should I make a PR for review?

Please advise :slight_smile:

Hi @timeichfeld-msa,

Thanks for posting! I did a little digging in the Cesium github repo, but I didn’t find much. Just the original KML support issue, which does list <gx:angles> as a feature to support, but it’s not checked off.

So I’m going to guess that, simply, no one has asked for this feature before. I’d say go ahead and make a PR for it, if you’ve already done it locally - this would be great to enable for everyone.

Best,
Matt

Sounds good, I can do that. I may need some assistance with updating the tests. I will follow up in the PR.

Thanks!
