Polyline Helper - Kotlin SDK

This example show how to render LineString/Multiline features with styles options like color, width, dash, and outline.

The vector layer helpers take your data and styling options and create the right source + layers on the current map style with minimal code. Helpers normalize sensible defaults like zoom range, outlines, etc. so you can get results quickly.
