ImageSource

A data source containing an image. (See the Style Specification for detailed documentation of options.)

Example

// add to map
map.addSource('some id', {
   type: 'image',
   url: 'https://www.maplibre.org/images/foo.png',
   coordinates: [
       [-76.54, 39.18],
       [-76.52, 39.18],
       [-76.52, 39.17],
       [-76.54, 39.17]
   ]
});

// update coordinates
let mySource = map.getSource('some id');
mySource.setCoordinates([
    [-76.54335737228394, 39.18579907229748],
    [-76.52803659439087, 39.1838364847587],
    [-76.5295386314392, 39.17683392507606],
    [-76.54520273208618, 39.17876344106642]
]);

// update url and coordinates simultaneously
mySource.updateImage({
   url: 'https://www.maplibre.org/images/bar.png',
   coordinates: [
       [-76.54335737228394, 39.18579907229748],
       [-76.52803659439087, 39.1838364847587],
       [-76.5295386314392, 39.17683392507606],
       [-76.54520273208618, 39.17876344106642]
   ]
})

map.removeSource('some id');  // remove

Methods

hasTransition()

hasTransition(): boolean

True if the source has transition, false otherwise.

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

Source.hasTransition

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:304


listens()

listens(type: string): boolean

Returns a true if this instance of Evented or any forwardeed instances of Evented have a listener for the specified type.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type string The event type

Returns

boolean

true if there is at least one registered listener for specified event type, false otherwise

Inherited from

Evented.listens

Defined in

src/util/evented.ts:161


loadTile()

loadTile(tile: Tile): Promise<void>

This method does the heavy lifting of loading a tile. In most cases it will defer the work to the relevant worker source.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
tile Tile The tile to load

Returns

Promise<void>

Implementation of

Source.loadTile

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:281


loaded()

loaded(): boolean

True if the source is loaded, false otherwise.

Returns

boolean

Implementation of

Source.loaded

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:155


off()

off(type: string, listener: Listener): ImageSource

Removes a previously registered event listener.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type string The event type to remove listeners for.
listener Listener The listener function to remove.

Returns

ImageSource

Inherited from

Evented.off

Defined in

src/util/evented.ts:86


on()

on(type: string, listener: Listener): this

Adds a listener to a specified event type.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type string The event type to add a listen for.
listener Listener The function to be called when the event is fired. The listener function is called with the data object passed to fire, extended with target and type properties.

Returns

this

Inherited from

Evented.on

Defined in

src/util/evented.ts:73


onAdd()

onAdd(map: Map): void

This method is called when the source is added to the map.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
map Map The map instance

Returns

void

Implementation of

Source.onAdd

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:187


onRemove()

onRemove(): void

This method is called when the source is removed from the map.

Returns

void

Implementation of

Source.onRemove

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:192


once()

once(type: string, listener?: Listener): Promise<any> | ImageSource

Adds a listener that will be called only once to a specified event type.

The listener will be called first time the event fires after the listener is registered.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
type string The event type to listen for.
listener? Listener The function to be called when the event is fired the first time.

Returns

Promise<any> | ImageSource

this or a promise if a listener is not provided

Inherited from

Evented.once

Defined in

src/util/evented.ts:102


prepare()

prepare(): void

Allows to execute a prepare step before the source is used.

Returns

void

Implementation of

Source.prepare

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:245


serialize()

serialize(): VideoSourceSpecification | ImageSourceSpecification | CanvasSourceSpecification

Returns

VideoSourceSpecification | ImageSourceSpecification | CanvasSourceSpecification

A plain (stringifiable) JS object representing the current state of the source. Creating a source using the returned object as the options should result in a Source that is equivalent to this one.

Implementation of

Source.serialize

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:296


setCoordinates()

setCoordinates(coordinates: Coordinates): this

Sets the image's coordinates and re-renders the map.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
coordinates Coordinates Four geographical coordinates, represented as arrays of longitude and latitude numbers, which define the corners of the image. The coordinates start at the top left corner of the image and proceed in clockwise order. They do not have to represent a rectangle.

Returns

this

Defined in

src/source/image_source.ts:207


setEventedParent()

setEventedParent(parent?: Evented, data?: any): ImageSource

Bubble all events fired by this instance of Evented to this parent instance of Evented.

Parameters

Parameter Type
parent? Evented
data? any

Returns

ImageSource

Inherited from

Evented.setEventedParent

Defined in

src/util/evented.ts:172


updateImage()

updateImage(options: UpdateImageOptions): this

Updates the image URL and, optionally, the coordinates. To avoid having the image flash after changing, set the raster-fade-duration paint property on the raster layer to 0.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
options UpdateImageOptions The options object.
