An event that is raised when a request encounters an error.
The request scheduler is used to track and constrain the number of active requests in order to prioritize incoming requests. The ability to retain control over the number of requests in CesiumJS is important because due to events such as changes in the camera position, a lot of new requests may be generated and a lot of in-flight requests may become redundant. The request scheduler manually constrains the number of requests so that newer requests wait in a shorter queue and don't have to compete for bandwidth with requests that have expired.

Exports an EntityCollection as a KML document. Only Point, Billboard, Model, Path, Polygon, Polyline geometries will be exported. Note that there is not a 1 to 1 mapping of Entity properties to KML Feature properties. For example, entity properties that are time dynamic but cannot be dynamic in KML are exported with their values at options.time or the beginning of the EntityCollection's time interval if not specified. For time-dynamic properties that are supported in KML, we use the samples if it is a SampledProperty otherwise we sample the value using the options.sampleDuration. Point, Billboard, Model and Path geometries with time-dynamic positions will be exported as gx:Track Features. Not all Materials are representable in KML, so for more advanced Materials just the primary color is used. Canvas objects are exported as PNG images.

Initiates a terrain height query for an array of Cartographic positions by requesting tiles from a terrain provider, sampling, and interpolating. The interpolation matches the triangles used to render the terrain at the specified level. The query happens asynchronously, so this function returns a promise that is resolved when the query completes. Each point height is modified in place. If a height can not be determined because no terrain data is available for the specified level at that location, or another error occurs, the height is set to undefined. As is typical of the Cartographic type, the supplied height is a height above the reference ellipsoid (such as Ellipsoid.WGS84) rather than an altitude above mean sea level. In other words, it will not necessarily be 0.0 if sampled in the ocean. This function needs the terrain level of detail as input, if you need to get the altitude of the terrain as precisely as possible (i.e. with maximum level of detail) use sampleTerrainMostDetailed.
Initiates a sampleTerrain() request at the maximum available tile level for a terrain dataset.
Converts the value from sRGB color space to linear color space.

To faithfully represents angles everywhere, this is a conformal projection, which means points are projected onto an arbrary sphere.
