extrusions about deck.gl HOT 7 CLOSED

wow... those look beautiful! and good question. It's possible Deck.GL could eventually become a MapboxGL plugin / custom layer using some of the new APIs that are in progress. see: mapbox/mapbox-gl-js#281

from deck.gl.

Landed and is now in the newest release of mapbox-gl-js - https://www.mapbox.com/blog/3d-features-in-mapbox-gl-js/

Unless mapbox publishes a plugin that shares their WebGL context we won't be able to integrate with their perspective graphics. Mapbox' current plugin focus is on their new canvas styles, however while these do support interleaving of flat graphics, they do not allow coordination of the z buffer.

@ibgreen Have you opened an issue on their repo about it? It takes them a really long time to get the ball rolling so it might be worth opening that now and hope it's done in a year.

@contra Yep. We've also had face-to-face meetings with their engineers.

has anything happened with this? Would be nice to be able to render deck.gl layers under the buildings.

Yes, mapbox has a custom API on a dev branch, we have started to experiment with it. Tracked in #2132
