Light

A style’s light property provides global light source for that style.

"light": {
  "anchor": "viewport",
  "color": "white",
  "intensity": 0.4
}

anchor

Optional enum. One of "map", "viewport". Defaults to "viewport".

Whether extruded geometries are lit relative to the map or viewport.

"map": The position of the light source is aligned to the rotation of the map.

"viewport": The position of the light source is aligned to the rotation of the viewport.

"anchor": "map"

color

Optional color. Defaults to "#ffffff". Supports interpolate expressions. Transitionable.

Color tint for lighting extruded geometries.

intensity

Optional number between 0 and 1 inclusive. Defaults to 0.5. Supports interpolate expressions. Transitionable.

Intensity of lighting (on a scale from 0 to 1). Higher numbers will present as more extreme contrast.

position

Optional array of numbers. Defaults to [1.15,210,30]. Supports interpolate expressions. Transitionable.

Position of the light source relative to lit (extruded) geometries, in [r radial coordinate, a azimuthal angle, p polar angle] where r indicates the distance from the center of the base of an object to its light, a indicates the position of the light relative to 0° (0° when light.anchor is set to viewport corresponds to the top of the viewport, or 0° when light.anchor is set to map corresponds to due north, and degrees proceed clockwise), and p indicates the height of the light (from 0°, directly above, to 180°, directly below).

"position": [
  1.5,
  90,
  80
]
