Overview

This module provides a suite of geospatial layers for deck.gl.

caution

The deck.gl-community repository is semi-maintaned. One of its goals is to collect and preserve valuable deck.gl ecosystem related code that does not have a dedicated home. Some modules may no longer have dedicated maintainers. This means that there is sometimes no one who can respond quickly to issues.

Installation

npm install @deck.gl-community/geo-layers

Background

This modules exports various geospatial deck.gl layers developed by the community that could be of use to others.

API Reference

• WindLayer renders Delaunay-interpolated, speed-colored wind arrows.
• ParticleLayer animates fading trails through a geographic wind field.
• ElevationLayer turns the original grayscale elevation map into illuminated, vertically exaggerated 3D terrain.
• DelaunayCoverLayer renders the elevation-colored station triangulation.
• DelaunayInterpolation samples or rasterizes time-varying station measurements without WebGL-only transforms.
• SharedTile2DLayer
• SharedTileset2D
• TileGridLayer
• TileSourceLayer
• GlobalGridLayer
• GlobalGrid

Examples

• Wind Map recreates Nicolas Belmonte's original deck.gl wind showcase using its original 72-hour station forecast and imported, reusable geo-layers.
• SharedTile2DLayer example demonstrates one shared loaders.gl TileSource feeding multiple SharedTile2DLayers across multiple views. It also shows shared SharedTileset2D cache stats rendered through SharedTileset2D.stats and uses TileGridLayer to visualize tile loading.
