If false, `UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures` will immediately return undefined (indicating no pickable features) without communicating with the server.

  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#errorEvent

#### readonly hasAlphaChannel : boolean
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 633

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. This function should not be called before `ImageryProvider#ready` returns true.

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#getTileCredits

#### pickFeatures(x, y, level, longitude, latitude) → Promise.<Array.<ImageryLayerFeatureInfo>>|undefined
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 791

Inherited From:
  - UrlTemplateImageryProvider#pickFeatures

#### reinitialize(options)
engine/Source/Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 653

### Type Definitions

#### Cesium.TileMapServiceImageryProvider.ConstructorOptions
engine/Source/Scene/TileMapServiceImageryProvider.js 16

Initialization options for the TileMapServiceImageryProvider constructor

##### Properties:

Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
`url` | Resource | string | Promise.<Resource> | Promise.<string> | <optional> | '.' | Path to image tiles on server.
`fileExtension` | string | <optional> | 'png' | The file extension for images on the server.
`credit` | Credit | string | <optional> | '' | A credit for the data source, which is displayed on the canvas.
`minimumLevel` | number | <optional> | 0 | The minimum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider. Take care when specifying this that the number of tiles at the minimum level is small, such as four or less. A larger number is likely to result in rendering problems.
`maximumLevel` | number | <optional> |  | The maximum level-of-detail supported by the imagery provider, or undefined if there is no limit.
`rectangle` | Rectangle | <optional> | Rectangle.MAX_VALUE | The rectangle, in radians, covered by the image.
`tilingScheme` | TilingScheme | <optional> |  | The tiling scheme specifying how the ellipsoidal surface is broken into tiles. If this parameter is not provided, a `WebMercatorTilingScheme` is used.
`ellipsoid` | Ellipsoid | <optional> |  | The ellipsoid. If the tilingScheme is specified, this parameter is ignored and the tiling scheme's ellipsoid is used instead. If neither parameter is specified, the WGS84 ellipsoid is used.
`tileWidth` | number | <optional> | 256 | Pixel width of image tiles.
`tileHeight` | number | <optional> | 256 | Pixel height of image tiles.
`flipXY` | boolean | <optional> |  | Older versions of gdal2tiles.py flipped X and Y values in tilemapresource.xml. Specifying this option will do the same, allowing for loading of these incorrect tilesets.
