 ### Triangulation precision threshold
-The default [triangulation error threshold](#dynamic-triangulation) in pixels is given by `DEFAULT_RASTER_REPROJECTION_ERROR_THRESHOLD` (0.5 pixel).
+The default [triangulation error threshold](#dynamic-triangulation) in pixels is given by `ERROR_THRESHOLD` (0.5 pixel).
 In case a different threshold needs to be defined for different sources, the `reprojectionErrorThreshold` option can be passed when constructing the tile image source.
