### Members

#### readonly credit : Credit
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 478

Gets the credit to display when this imagery provider is active. Typically this is used to credit the source of the imagery.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#credit
Default Value: `undefined`

#### enablePickFeatures : boolean
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 265

Gets or sets a value indicating whether feature picking is enabled. If true, `UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures` will request the `options.pickFeaturesUrl` and attempt to interpret the features included in the response. If false, `UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures` will immediately return undefined (indicating no pickable features) without communicating with the server. Set this property to false if you know your data source does not support picking features or if you don't want this provider's features to be pickable.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#enablePickFeatures
Default Value: `true`

#### readonly errorEvent : Event
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 464

Gets an event that is raised when the imagery provider encounters an asynchronous error. By subscribing to the event, you will be notified of the error and can potentially recover from it. Event listeners are passed an instance of `TileProviderError`.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#errorEvent

#### readonly hasAlphaChannel : boolean
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 495

Gets a value indicating whether or not the images provided by this imagery provider include an alpha channel. If this property is false, an alpha channel, if present, will be ignored. If this property is true, any images without an alpha channel will be treated as if their alpha is 1.0 everywhere. When this property is false, memory usage and texture upload time are reduced.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#hasAlphaChannel
Default Value: `true`

#### readonly maximumLevel : number|undefined
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 396

Gets the maximum level-of-detail that can be requested, or undefined if there is no limit.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#maximumLevel
Default Value: `undefined`

#### readonly minimumLevel : number
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 409

Gets the minimum level-of-detail that can be requested.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#minimumLevel
Default Value: `0`

#### readonly pickFeaturesUrl : string
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 344

Gets the URL template to use to use to pick features. If this property is not specified, `UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures` will immediately return undefined, indicating no features picked. The URL template supports all of the keywords supported by the `UrlTemplateImageryProvider#url` property, plus the following:

- `{i}`: The pixel column (horizontal coordinate) of the picked position, where the Westernmost pixel is 0.
- `{j}`: The pixel row (vertical coordinate) of the picked position, where the Northernmost pixel is 0.
- `{reverseI}`: The pixel column (horizontal coordinate) of the picked position, where the Easternmost pixel is 0.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#rectangle
Default Value: `tilingScheme.rectangle`

#### readonly tileDiscardPolicy : TileDiscardPolicy
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 450

Default Value: `undefined`

#### readonly tileHeight : number
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 383

Gets the height of each tile, in pixels.

Gets the width of each tile, in pixels.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#tileWidth
Default Value: `256`

#### readonly tilingScheme : TilingScheme
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 422
