Hillshade Layer

The HillshadeLayer is either used by the map style or can be added to the map programmatically to use DEM tiles. Those tiles are used to render elevation on the map.

Basic Usage

late final MapController _controller;

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return MapLibreMap(
      options: MapOptions(center: Position(9.17, 47.68)),
      onMapCreated: (controller) => _controller = controller,
      onStyleLoaded: () async {
        const hillshade = RasterDemSource(
          id: _sourceId,
          url: 'https://demotiles.maplibre.org/terrain-tiles/tiles.json',
          tileSize: 256,
        );
        await _controller.addSource(hillshade);
        const layer = HillshadeLayer(
          id: _layerId,
          sourceId: _sourceId,
          paint: {'hillshade-shadow-color': '#473B24'},
        );
        await _controller.addLayer(layer);
      }
  );
}
