TextLayer

The deck.gl TextLayer renders geolocated labels with font-based glyphs. You can size or rotate labels with familiar accessor props.

from ipydeck import Deck, Layer, ViewState

labels = Layer(
    type="TextLayer",
    data=[
        {"position": [-122.42, 37.78], "label": "Market"},
        {"position": [-122.406, 37.795], "label": "North Beach"},
    ],
    get_position="@@=position",
    get_text="@@=label",
    get_color=[0, 0, 0],
    get_size=16,
    size_units="pixels",
    background=True,
    font_family="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif",
)

Deck(
    layers=[labels],
    initial_view_state=ViewState(latitude=37.79, longitude=-122.41, zoom=12),
)

Use the get_angle accessor to rotate labels when aligning them to features such as roads or rivers.
