Arguments

rdeck

<rdeck | rdeck_proxy> An rdeck map instance.

...

Additional parameters that will be forwarded to deck.gl javascript without validation nor processing. All dots must be named and will be camelCased when serialised. A warning is raised when dots are used, warning class rdeck_dots_nonempty.

id

<string> The layer's identifier must be unique for among all layers of the same type for a map. Defaults to uuid::UUIDgenerate(), but should be explicitly defined for updatable layers in a shiny application.

name

<string> Identifies the layer on tooltips and legends. It does not need to be unique, but should be brief. Defaults to the deck.gl class name for the layer.

group_name

<string> Defines the group that this layer belongs to. Currently only effective on the layer selector, if visibility_toggle = TRUE.

data

<data.frame | sf | string> The layer's data. Data frames and sf objects will contain all columns that are referenced by the layer's accessors. Strings will be interpreted as a URL and data will be retrieved dynamically in the browser.

visible

<boolean> Determines whether the layer is visible or not; also determines whether any legend elements for the layer will be displayed.

pickable

<boolean> Determines if the layer responds to pointer / touch events.

opacity

<number> Determines the layer's opacity.

wrap_longitude

<boolean> Normalises geometry longitudes.

position_format

<"XY" | "XYZ"> Determines whether each coordinate has two (XY) or three (XYZ) elements.

color_format

<"RGB" | "RGBA"> Determines whether the alpha channel of the colours will be ignored by accessors, making all colours opaque.

auto_highlight

<boolean> When TRUE, the current object hovered by the cursor is highlighted by highlight_color.

highlight_color

<accessor | scale | color> When auto_highlight and pickable are enabled, highlight_color determines the colour of the currently highlighted object. If a single colour value is supplied, that colour will be used to highlight all objects in the layer. Per-object highlighting is achieved with a colour scale, or a tidy-eval column of colours.

size_units

<"pixels" | "common" | "meters"> The units of the size specified by get_size.

point_size

<number> The radius of all points in units specified by size_units.

get_position

<accessor> The feature positions. A <point/multipoint> wk-geometry column with CRS EPSG:4326. Supports tidy-eval.

get_normal

<accessor | numeric> The normal of each object, in c(nx, ny, nz). Accepts a length-3 numeric vector, or a tidy-eval 3-column matrix column.

get_color

<accessor | scale | color> The colour of each object. Accepts a single colour value, a colour scale, or a tidy-eval column of colours.

material

<boolean>

blending_mode

<"normal" | "additive" | "subtractive"> Sets the blending mode. Blending modes:

  • normal: Normal blending doesn't alter colours of overlapping objects.

  • additive: Additive blending adds colours of overlapping objects. Useful for highlighting dot density on dark maps.

  • subtractive: Subtractive blending darkens overlapping objects. Useful for highlighting dot density on light maps.

visibility_toggle

<boolean> Whether this layer will appear in the layer selector.

tooltip

<tooltip> Defines the columns (and their order) that will be displayed in the layer tooltip, if pickable == TRUE. Supports tidy-select if a data is a data.frame. Geometry columns are always removed.
