I want to display cesium clock and timeline widget inside a different div container outside of the cesium container. With the help of this link I’ve created a separate clock widget and applied animation on an entity. Animation is working but the clock widget is not working. It seems like default clock widget is working not the newly created. Sandcastle link
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
infoBox: false, //Disable InfoBox widget
selectionIndicator: false, //Disable selection indicator
shouldAnimate: true, // Enable animations
terrainProvider: Cesium.createWorldTerrain(),
});
//Enable lighting based on the sun position
viewer.scene.globe.enableLighting = true;
//Enable depth testing so things behind the terrain disappear.
viewer.scene.globe.depthTestAgainstTerrain = true;
var _currentSysDT = new Date();
function onTimelineScrubfunction(e) {
clock = e.clock;
clock.currentTime = e.timeJulian;
clock.shouldAnimate = false;
}

// viewer.animation.viewModel.timeFormatter = LocalFormatter;
