Atmosphere

A style’s fog property is a global effect that improves depth perception by fading out distant objects.

Mapbox Style Specification

  • The color of the atmosphere region immediately below the horizon and within the range and above the horizon and within horizon-blend. Using opacity is recommended only for smoothly transitioning fog on/off as anything less than 100% opacity results in more tiles loaded and drawn.

  • Transition property for color

  • The color of the atmosphere region above the horizon, high-color extends further above the horizon than the color property and its spread can be controlled with horizon-blend. The opacity can be set to 0 to remove the high atmosphere color contribution.

  • Transition property for highColor

  • Horizon blend applies a smooth fade from the color of the atmosphere to the color of space. A value of zero leaves a sharp transition from atmosphere to space. Increasing the value blends the color of atmosphere into increasingly high angles of the sky.

  • Transition property for horizonBlend

  • The start and end distance range in which fog fades from fully transparent to fully opaque. The distance to the point at the center of the map is defined as zero, so that negative range values are closer to the camera, and positive values are farther away.

  • Transition property for range

  • The color of the region above the horizon and after the end of the horizon-blend contribution. The opacity can be set to 0 to have a transparent background.

  • Transition property for spaceColor

  • A value controlling the star intensity where 0 will show no stars and 1 will show stars at their maximum intensity.
