Styling the Map
MGLStyle
The proxy object for the current map style.
MGLStyle provides a set of convenience methods for changing Mapbox default styles using MGLMapView.styleURL
. Learn more about Mapbox default styles.
It is also possible to directly manipulate the current map style via MGLMapView.style
by updating the style’s data sources or layers.
Note
Wait until the map style has finished loading before modifying a map’s style via any of the MGLStyle
instance methods below. You can use the -[MGLMapViewDelegate mapView:didFinishLoadingStyle:]
or -[MGLMapViewDelegate mapViewDidFinishLoadingMap:]
methods as indicators that it’s safe to modify the map’s style.
Declaration
Objective-C
@interface MGLStyle : NSObject
Swift
class MGLStyle : NSObject
MGLLight
An MGLLight
object represents the light source for extruded geometries in MGLStyle
.
Example
let light = MGLLight()
let position = MGLSphericalPosition(radial: 5, azimuthal: 180, polar: 80)
light.position = NSExpression(forConstantValue: NSValue(mglSphericalPosition: position))
light.anchor = NSExpression(forConstantValue: "map")
mapView.style?.light = light
