# BingMapsImageryProvider

#### new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider(options)
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 98

  Provides tiled imagery using the Bing Maps Imagery REST API.

  Name | Type | Description
  --- | --- | ---
  `options` | Object | Object with the following properties:
  Name | Type | Default | Description
  --- | --- | --- | ---
  `url` | String |  | The url of the Bing Maps server hosting the imagery.
  `key` | String |  | optional The Bing Maps key for your application, which can be created at https://www.bingmapsportal.com/. If this parameter is not provided, `BingMapsApi.defaultKey` is used. If `BingMapsApi.defaultKey` is undefined as well, a message is written to the console reminding you that you must create and supply a Bing Maps key as soon as possible. Please do not deploy an application that uses Bing Maps imagery without creating a separate key for your application.
  `tileProtocol` | String |  | optional The protocol to use when loading tiles, e.g. 'http:' or 'https:'. By default, tiles are loaded using the same protocol as the page.
  `mapStyle` | String | `BingMapsStyle.AERIAL` | optional The type of Bing Maps imagery to load.
  `culture` | String | `''` | optional The culture to use when requesting Bing Maps imagery. Not all cultures are supported. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh441729.aspx for information on the supported cultures.
  `ellipsoid` | Ellipsoid |  | optional The ellipsoid. If not specified, the WGS84 ellipsoid is used.
  `tileDiscardPolicy` | TileDiscardPolicy |  | optional The policy that determines if a tile is invalid and should be discarded. If this value is not specified, a default `DiscardMissingTileImagePolicy` is used which requests tile 0,0 at the maximum tile level and checks pixels (0,0), (120,140), (130,160), (200,50), and (200,200). If all of these pixels are transparent, the discard check is disabled and no tiles are discarded. If any of them have a non-transparent color, any tile that has the same values in these pixel locations is discarded. The end result of these defaults should be correct tile discarding for a standard Bing Maps server. To ensure that no tiles are discarded, construct and pass a `NeverTileDiscardPolicy` for this parameter.
  `proxy` | Proxy |  | optional A proxy to use for requests. This object is expected to have a getURL function which returns the proxied URL, if needed.

  ##### Example:

      var bing = new Cesium.BingMapsImageryProvider({
          url : '//dev.virtualearth.net',
          key : 'get-yours-at-https://www.bingmapsportal.com/',
          mapStyle : Cesium.BingMapsStyle.AERIAL
      });

### Members

#### readonlycredit : Credit
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 469

  Gets the credit to display when this imagery provider is active. Typically this is used to credit the source of the imagery. This function should not be called before `BingMapsImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlyculture : String
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 282

  The culture to use when requesting Bing Maps imagery. Not all cultures are supported. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh441729.aspx for information on the supported cultures.

#### defaultGamma : Number
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 126

  The default `ImageryLayer#gamma` to use for imagery layers created for this provider. By default, this is set to 1.3 for the "aerial" and "aerial with labels" map styles and 1.0 for all others. Changing this value after creating an `ImageryLayer` for this provider will have no effect. Instead, set the layer's `ImageryLayer#gamma` property.
  Default Value: `1.0`

#### readonlyerrorEvent : Event
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 432

  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`.

#### readonlyhasAlphaChannel : Boolean
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 485

  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. Setting this property to false reduces memory usage and texture upload time.

#### readonlykey : String
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 256

  Gets the Bing Maps key.

#### readonlymapStyle : BingMapsStyle
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 268

  Gets the type of Bing Maps imagery to load.

#### readonlymaximumLevel : Number
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 334

  Gets the maximum level-of-detail that can be requested. This function should not be called before `BingMapsImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlyminimumLevel : Number
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 353

  Gets the minimum level-of-detail that can be requested. This function should not be called before `BingMapsImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlyproxy : Proxy

#### readonlyready : Boolean
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 444

  Gets a promise that resolves to true when the provider is ready for use.

#### readonlyrectangle : Rectangle
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 391

  Gets the rectangle, in radians, of the imagery provided by this instance. This function should not be called before `BingMapsImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlytileDiscardPolicy : TileDiscardPolicy
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 412

  Gets the tile discard policy. If not undefined, the discard policy is responsible for filtering out "missing" tiles via its shouldDiscardImage function. If this function returns undefined, no tiles are filtered. This function should not be called before `BingMapsImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

#### readonlytileHeight : Number
Scene/BingMapsImageryProvider.js 314

  Gets the height of each tile, in pixels. This function should not be called before `BingMapsImageryProvider#ready` returns true.
