How to realize the Map style controlled by client in GIS Development

This article mainly introduces how to realize the map style controlled by the client in the development of GIS. It is very detailed and has a certain reference value. Friends who are interested must finish it!

When using Amap or Baidu Maps, you will find that you can use a visualization tool to adjust your map style, which basically designs the map style into the form you want according to the classification of map elements. and can control whether a certain type of map elements are displayed, that is, on the client side, use script language to control the style of the map.

The traditional map slicing is to design the map style in the background and use arcgis or other open source slicing tools to cut the map into the form of tiles. When visiting on the client, the map style cannot be modified. If you want to change the map style, you need to adjust it in the background.

With the development of webgl technology, vector data is made into another slicing format in the background, such as .mvt or .pbf format. When accessing this slicing, the map can be styled on the client side. The source of this technology is mapbox's vector tiles technology. There is an open source back-end, vector data can be released in real time, and there are also tools that can make the data into vector slices, which can be loaded using mapbox, and there are corresponding extensions on other kinds of map controls. Based on webgl technology, there is also a guarantee in performance. These are all the contents of the article "how to implement client-side-controlled map styles in GIS development".
