##### Returns:

The credits to be displayed when the tile is displayed.

A promise for the picked features that will resolve when the asynchronous picking completes. The resolved value is an array of `ImageryLayerFeatureInfo` instances. The array may be empty if no features are found at the given location. It may also be undefined if picking is not supported.

#### reinitialize(options)
Scene/UrlTemplateImageryProvider.js 654

Note that this can be dynamically overridden by modifying the `UriTemplateImageryProvider#enablePickFeatures` property.
`customTags` | Object | <optional> |  | Allow to replace custom keywords in the URL template. The object must have strings as keys and functions as values.
