Mapbox¶

Gisaf uses mapbox-gl for rendering online maps.

Setting styles for the layers (models)¶

There are 2 places where mapbox styles live, depending on the type of layer.

Custom models¶

In the qml table, define the style in the column mapbox-paint corresponding to the type in the column model_name.

Models from categories¶

In the category table, these columns used for styling:

• mapbox_type_custom: the mapbox type can be overridden, eg. fill-extrusion for polygons (no other known useful cases)

• mapbox_paint: the mapbox paint style

• mapbox_layout: the mapbox layout (usually not used)

Mapbox style definition¶

The specification of mapbox paint styles can be found at https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/ .

For example:

{"fill-color": ["rgba", 204, 204, 255, 1]}
