  * @param [options.scene3DOnly = false] - When <code>true</code>, each geometry instance will only be rendered in 3D to save GPU memory.
  * @param [options.orderIndependentTranslucency = true] - If true and the configuration supports it, use order independent translucency.
- * @param [options.mapProjection = new GeographicProjection()] - The map projection to use in 2D and Columbus View modes.
- * @param [options.globe = new Globe(mapProjection.ellipsoid)] - The globe to use in the scene.  If set to <code>false</code>, no globe will be added and the sky atmosphere will be hidden by default.

  * @param [options.useDefaultRenderLoop = true] - True if this widget should control the render loop, false otherwise.
  * @param [options.useBrowserRecommendedResolution = true] - If true, render at the browser's recommended resolution and ignore <code>window.devicePixelRatio</code>.
  * @param [options.targetFrameRate] - The target frame rate when using the default render loop.
