# PositionProperty

#### abstract new Cesium.PositionProperty()
engine/Source/DataSources/PositionProperty.js 22

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

#### readonly definitionChanged : Event
engine/Source/DataSources/PositionProperty.js 47

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.

#### readonly isConstant : boolean
engine/Source/DataSources/PositionProperty.js 35

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
engine/Source/DataSources/PositionProperty.js 55

Gets the reference frame that the position is defined in.

##### Returns:

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

#### getValueInReferenceFrame(time, referenceFrame, result) → Cartesian3|undefined
engine/Source/DataSources/PositionProperty.js 79

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

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
