- dir or direction
- The direction the camera is facing. From -180 to 180. (floating point number)
- tilt
- Angle of the camera to the surface. 0 is directly down, 90 is horizon (floating point number)
- layer
- The name of the layer that should be shown. eg "NLT Landsat7 (Visible Color)" The value is case insensitive. Possible values are any layer text string from the Layer Manager -> Images
- world
