Dynamic feature highlighting for MapBox tilesets

Glower

Glower is a library for visual interaction with UTFGrid-enabled tilesets like those generated by TileMill and served by MapBox Hosting. It uses HTML5 Canvas to render approximated highlighted areas, and is thus incompatible with older versions of Internet Explorer and ancient versions of other browsers without the usage of excanvas.

Dependencies

• Wax
• Modest Maps
• A tileset supporting UTFGrid & TileJSON

Usage

The third argument, an options object, is optional.

var glow = glower(map, tilejson, {
    fillStyle: 'rgba(1, 100, 200, 0.7')'
});

glow.fillStyle('rgba(1, 100, 10, 0.7')');
