Flowmap.gl

Flow map drawing layer for deck.gl

Flowmap.gl is a flow map drawing layer for deck.gl. It is a JavaScript module which can be used for visualization of geographic movement: mobility, transportation, migration, etc. The layer is rendered in a WebGL context and is capable of adaptive aggregation and filtering, which allows it to handle relatively large numbers of flows.

Try FlowmapBlue and Flowmap City for an easy way of publishing flow maps with no coding required.

Flowmap.gl belongs to the Vis.gl family.

The project has been developed and maintained by Ilya Boyandin (originally at Teralytics).
