Change a layer's color with buttons
This example uses setPaintProperty
to change the colors of different fill
layers on a map:
The
water
andbuilding
layers use the Mapbox Streets v8 vector tileset from the Mapbox Light style (light-v10
) as avector
source.The
triangles
custom layer, added withaddLayer
, uses a custom tileset (examples.ckv9z0wgf5v7c27p7me2mf0l9-9wrve
) as avector
source.
