Dear Rachel,
thank you for pointing me out the Sandcastle labels examples. Of course I am aware of all these which are quite useful.
I am forced to set globe to off, due to the globe transparency I need. I would have been very happy if I could use entity label with globe off, but in a previous question I had,
I got that solution for labels.
So, lets go one step back and not set globe to off. If I will remove the globe background with
viewer.scene.imageryLayers.removeAll() the following problems/bugs appear:
- The alpha color parameter of the viewer.scene.globe.baseColor object has not any visual effect and the globe transparency is not changed.
- The inner part of the ellipsoid is not fully transparent even if one set viewer.scene.globe.show = false. For example, a small sphere at the earth center is not visible.
Both of the above problems are demonstrated in
this sandcastle example. Note that this issue has been also reported
here about 1 year ago, but not fixed yet.
Please let me know If there is another way to achieve the Earth globe (semi)transparency. Then, I will avoid setting globe to off, and all its negative consequences.
Thanks,
Nikos
