PointCloudLayer

The deck.gl PointCloudLayer plots 3D point clouds with per-point colors and normals. Use it for lidar or photogrammetry datasets.

from ipydeck import Deck, Layer, ViewState

lidar = Layer(
    type="PointCloudLayer",
    data=[
        {"position": [-122.4, 37.8, 12], "color": [200, 92, 173]},
        {"position": [-122.401, 37.799, 18], "color": [80, 176, 230]},
        {"position": [-122.402, 37.797, 9], "color": [245, 207, 66]},
    ],
    get_position="@@=position",
    get_color="@@=color",
    point_size=4,
)

Deck(
    layers=[lidar],
    initial_view_state=ViewState(latitude=37.799, longitude=-122.401, zoom=15, pitch=60),
)

Provide normals through get_normal to enable eye-dome lighting on dense clouds.
