Method Detail

getPixelDensity

double getPixelDensity()

Returns the asset's pixel density in pixels per square degree. In other words, this method returns the total number of pixels in the raster divided by the area of the asset's bounds. The pixel density can be used to prioritize more detailed rasters during terrain preprocessing.

Returns:

the asset's pixel density
