- Background placement code now just generates static symbol buffers - Don't render GeometryTiles until their symbols are loaded. This is necessary for the CrossTileSymbolIndex to successfully prevent flicker. - SymbolInstances are transferred to SymbolBucket for use on foreground during collision detection - Symbols are sorted on foreground by sorting their index buffer but leaving vertex buffers intact (only works within one segment) - Vertical glyphs are generated at same time as horizontal glyphs. `reprojectLineLabels` chooses which one to use at render time and hides the other. - Icons are now always represented with a single collision box, even if they're placed along a line (this means their rotation alignment may be wrong, but the approach of representing them with multiple collision boxes wasn't very accurate either). - Generate vertices for new debug collision boxes and collision circles - Only add symbols within tile boundaries (reduces work, avoids double-draw) - Update symbol_projection.cpp to support line label projection calls from CollisionIndex.
Mapbox GL Native
A library for embedding interactive, customizable vector maps into native applications on multiple platforms. It takes stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox Style Specification, applies them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and renders them using OpenGL. Mapbox GL JS is the WebGL-based counterpart, designed for use on the Web.
The Mapbox GL ecosystem
This repository hosts the cross-platform Mapbox GL Native library, plus convenient SDKs for several platforms. The cross-platform library comes with a GLFW-based demo application for Ubuntu Linux and macOS. The SDKs target the usual languages on their respective platforms:
| SDK | Languages | Build status |
|---|---|---|
| Mapbox GL Native | C++14 | |
| Mapbox Android SDK | Java | |
| Mapbox iOS SDK | Objective-C or Swift | |
| Mapbox macOS SDK | Objective-C, Swift, or AppleScript | |
| node-mapbox-gl-native | Node.js | |
| Mapbox Qt SDK | C++03 |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries for hybrid applications are developed outside of this repository:
| Toolkit | Android | iOS | Developer |
|---|---|---|---|
| React Native (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Mapbox |
| Apache Cordova (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
| NativeScript (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
| Xamarin | ✅ | ✅ | Xamarin |
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
