Description

The BaseLayerPicker allows you to pass an array of which imagery layers should be available. It would be nice if the SceneModePicker had a similar option.

This was requested on the forum. Currently it's hardcoded to show all 3. I think it should be easy to add an option to control this. I think you'd need to edit https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/blob/master/Source/Widgets/SceneModePicker/SceneModePicker.js and https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/blob/master/Source/Widgets/SceneModePicker/SceneModePickerViewModel.js.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a configuration option to SceneModePicker to control which scene modes (e.g., 2D, 3D, Columbus view) are available, similar to the existing BaseLayerPicker. The main files to modify are Source/Widgets/SceneModePicker/SceneModePicker.js and SceneModePickerViewModel.js. The implementation should follow the pattern used in BaseLayerPicker where an array of allowed modes is passed as an option. Check the forum link for user context and consider discussing the API design in the issue comments before coding.
