# CompositeProperty

#### new Cesium.CompositeProperty()
engine/Source/DataSources/CompositeProperty.js 55

A `Property` which is defined by a `TimeIntervalCollection`, where the data property of each `TimeInterval` is another Property instance which is evaluated at the provided time.

##### Example:

    const constantProperty = ...;
    const sampledProperty = ...;

    //Create a composite property from two previously defined properties
    //where the property is valid on August 1st, 2012 and uses a constant
    //property for the first half of the day and a sampled property for the
    //remaining half.
    const composite = new Cesium.CompositeProperty();
    composite.intervals.addInterval(Cesium.TimeInterval.fromIso8601({
        iso8601 : '2012-08-01T00:00:00.00Z/2012-08-01T12:00:00.00Z',
        data : constantProperty
    }));
    composite.intervals.addInterval(Cesium.TimeInterval.fromIso8601({
        iso8601 : '2012-08-01T12:00:00.00Z/2012-08-02T00:00:00.00Z',
        isStartIncluded : false,
        isStopIncluded : false,
        data : sampledProperty
    }));
