API Reference
Classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ZarrCubeProvider | Provides rendering of volumetric (3D) Zarr datasets as Cesium primitives. |
| ZarrCubeVelocityProvider | Provider responsible for loading and rendering 3D velocity fields (U and V components) from Zarr datasets as animated Cesium WindLayers. |
| ZarrImageryLayer | Cesium imagery layer backed by a shared ZarrTileProvider. |
| ZarrLayerProvider | Thin Cesium adapter around the framework-independent Zarr tile renderer. Dataset loading, slicing, styling, caching, and WebGL rendering live in zarr-maps-tiling; this class only translates Cesium tile requests. |
| ZarrTileProvider | Provides Zarr dataset access and rendering capabilities for web-map layers. |

Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| calculateElevationSlice | Determines the index range of the elevation axis to load from a Zarr cube. |
| calculateHeightMeters | Converts elevation index to Cesium height (meters), applying vertical exaggeration and optional below-sea-level offset. |
| calculateNearestIndex | Finds the index of the value in values nearest to target. |
| calculateSliceArgs | Constructs Zarr slice arguments for extracting a subregion of a multidimensional array. |
| calculateSliceArgsRequestImage | Constructs Zarr slice arguments for extracting a subregion of a multidimensional array. |
| calculateXYFromBounds | Converts geographic bounds (lat/lon) to pixel-space indices for slicing Zarr arrays. Supports both EPSG:4326 and EPSG:3857 projections. |
| colormapBuilder | Builds a color ramp (discrete or continuous) from a specified colormap. |
| createColorRampTexture | Creates a flexible 1D color-ramp texture supporting either normalized (0–1) or integer (0–255) color definitions. |
| createProgram | Creates and links a WebGL program using the specified vertex and fragment shaders. |
| createShader | Creates and compiles a WebGL shader from source code. |
| decodeCFTime | Decodes CF-compliant time coordinate values into ISO date strings. |
| deriveRectangleAndScheme | Computes a Cesium Rectangle and TilingScheme for a Zarr dataset. |
| detectBrowser | Detects the current browser based on the user agent string. |
| detectCRS | Detects the coordinate reference system (CRS) of a Zarr dataset based on metadata or coordinate range. Defaults to EPSG:4326 (WGS84) if uncertain. |
| extractNoDataMetadata | Extracts no-data related metadata from a Zarr array's attributes. |
| getCubeDimensions | Computes cube dimension ordering and strides based on dimension indices. Useful for reshaping 3D Zarr arrays into Cesium-renderable layouts. |
| getFullTransect | Queries all elevation levels along a line between two WGS84 positions. |
| getTimeSeries | Queries every time coordinate at one point and the selected elevation. |
| getTransect | Queries one scalar level along a line between two WGS84 positions. |
| getVerticalProfile | Queries every elevation coordinate at one point and the selected time. |
| getXYLimits | Retrieve the geographic coordinate limits (min/max latitude/longitude) for a Zarr array. |
| getZarrData | Reads an array with the same Zarrita module instance that opened it. Zarrita 0.7 keeps array decoding context module-local, so consumers must not call a separately resolved copy of zarrita.get on arrays returned here. |
| identifyDimensionIndices | Identify the indices of common dimensions (lat, lon, time, elevation) in a Zarr array, optionally using CF-compliant standard names or custom dimension mappings. |
| initZarrDataset | Opens a Zarr variable (single-scale or multiscale pyramid) and prepares its metadata. |
| latDegToMercY | - |
| loadDimensionValues | Loads the coordinate values for a specific dimension. |
| lonDegToMercX | - |
| openLevelArray | Opens and caches a specific multiscale level array. Keeps a small LRU-style cache of up to three levels. |
| parseCFUnits | Parses a CF-compliant units string into its components. |
| resolveNoDataRange | Resolves the no-data value range for masking dataset values. |
| sampleTransectPositions | Builds evenly spaced WGS84 samples along the shortest longitude path. |
| updateImgData | Updates an ImageData object with a new pixel color derived from a numeric value and a ColorScaleProps colormap. |
| validateBounds | Validates whether geographic bounds are logically consistent. |
