IconLayer

The deck.gl IconLayer places textured billboards on the map. Provide an icon_atlas image containing sprites and an icon_mapping that describes sprite bounds. The mapping below reuses the public deck.gl icon atlas.

from ipydeck import Deck, Layer, ViewState

cities = Layer(
    type="IconLayer",
    data=[
        {"position": [-122.4, 37.8], "name": "San Francisco"},
        {"position": [-73.98, 40.75], "name": "New York"},
    ],
    icon_atlas="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/visgl/deck.gl-data/master/website/icon-atlas.png",
    icon_mapping="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/visgl/deck.gl-data/master/website/icon-atlas.json",
    get_position="@@=position",
    get_size=40,
    get_icon="@@='marker'",
    get_color=[0, 0, 255],
    pickable=True,
)

Deck(
    layers=[cities],
    initial_view_state=ViewState(latitude=39.5, longitude=-96, zoom=3),
    tooltip={"text": "{name}"},
)

To drive the icon accessor from data, return the sprite key with get_icon="@@=icon_id" and include an icon_id field in each row.
