create(description, url, layer, showInMyLayersMenu) → {promise}

Loads an imagery layer into the project.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
description	String	The name of the layer as it appears in the Layers tab of the TE4W sidebar.
url	String	The URL of the SkylineGlobe Server (SGS) from which the layer is loaded, e.g., http://www.SkylineGlobe.com/SG.
