# PositionProperty

#### new Cesium.PositionProperty()
DataSources/PositionProperty.js 32

The interface for all `Property` objects that define a world location as a `Cartesian3` with an associated `ReferenceFrame`. This type defines an interface and cannot be instantiated directly.

##### See:

- CompositePositionProperty
- ConstantPositionProperty
- SampledPositionProperty
- TimeIntervalCollectionPositionProperty

### Members

#### readonlydefinitionChanged : Event
DataSources/PositionProperty.js 57

Gets the event that is raised whenever the definition of this property changes. The definition is considered to have changed if a call to getValue would return a different result for the same time.

#### readonlyisConstant : Boolean
DataSources/PositionProperty.js 45

Gets a value indicating if this property is constant. A property is considered constant if getValue always returns the same result for the current definition.

#### referenceFrame : ReferenceFrame
DataSources/PositionProperty.js 65

Gets the reference frame that the position is defined in.

### Methods

#### equals(other) → Boolean

`result` | Cartesian3 | optional The object to store the value into, if omitted, a new instance is created and returned.

##### Returns:

The modified result parameter or a new instance if the result parameter was not supplied.

#### getValueInReferenceFrame(time, referenceFrame, result) → Cartesian3
DataSources/PositionProperty.js 89

Gets the value of the property at the provided time and in the provided reference frame.

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
`time` | JulianDate | The time for which to retrieve the value.
`referenceFrame` | ReferenceFrame | The desired referenceFrame of the result.
