AnimationLayer

Runnable example: Infovis layer primitives.

Animates one child deck.gl layer by cloning it with props resolved from a frame schedule. Use it for simple pulse, reveal, and emphasis effects without placing animation state inside each datum.

import {AnimationLayer} from '@deck.gl-community/infovis-layers';

const layer = new AnimationLayer({
  id: 'selected-block-pulse',
  layer: selectedBlockLayer,
  repeat: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY,
  frames: {
    type: 'sequence',
    frames: [
      {duration: 900, props: {opacity: 0.35}},
      {duration: 900, props: {opacity: 1}}
    ]
  }
});

Properties​

Inherits from all CompositeLayer properties.

layer (Layer, required)​

Base child layer cloned for each animation frame.

frames (AnimationFramesGroup, required)​

Frame schedule. Groups can run frames in sequence, concurrence, or stagger mode, and each frame supplies destination props, duration, optional delay, and optional easing.

repeat (number, optional)​

Number of additional iterations after the first animation pass. Default: 0. Use Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY for a continuous animation.

repeatType ('loop' | 'reverse', optional)​

Whether repeated frames restart from the first frame or alternate in reverse. Default: 'loop'.

repeatDelay (number, optional)​

Delay in milliseconds before each repeated iteration. Default: 0.
