PointCloudLayer

import {PointCloudLayerDemo} from '@site/src/doc-demos/layers';

The PointCloudLayer renders a point cloud with 3D positions, normals and colors.

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';

import {Deck, COORDINATE_SYSTEM} from '@deck.gl/core';
import {PointCloudLayer} from '@deck.gl/layers';

  getPosition: d => d.position,
  pointSize: 2,
  coordinateOrigin: [-122.4, 37.74],
  coordinateSystem: COORDINATE_SYSTEM.METER_OFFSETS,
  pickable: true

loaders.gl offers a category of loaders for loading point clouds from standard formats. For example, the following code adds support for LAS/LAZ files:

import {PointCloudLayer} from '@deck.gl/layers';
import {LASLoader} from '@loaders.gl/las';

new PointCloudLayer({
  data: 'path/to/pointcloud.laz',
  loaders: [LASLoader]
});

Installation

To install the dependencies from NPM:

npm install deck.gl
# or
npm install @deck.gl/core @deck.gl/layers
import {PointCloudLayer} from '@deck.gl/layers';
import type {PointCloudLayerProps} from '@deck.gl/layers';

new PointCloudLayer<DataT>(...props: PointCloudLayerProps<DataT>[]);

To use pre-bundled scripts:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/deck.gl@^9.0.0/dist.min.js"></script>
<!-- or -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@deck.gl/core@^9.0.0/dist.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@deck.gl/layers@^9.0.0/dist.min.js"></script>
new deck.PointCloudLayer({});

Properties

Inherits from all Base Layer properties.

Render Options

sizeUnits (string, optional) {#sizeunits}

  • Default: 'pixels'

The units of the point size, one of 'meters', 'common', and 'pixels'. See unit system.

pointSize (number, optional) transition-enabled {#pointsize}

  • Default: 10

Global radius of all points, in units specified by sizeUnits (default pixels).

material (Material, optional) {#material}

  • Default: true

This is an object that contains material props for lighting effect applied on extruded polygons. Check the lighting guide for configurable settings.

Data Accessors

getPosition (Accessor<Position>, optional) transition-enabled {#getposition}

  • Default: object => object.position

Method called to retrieve the position of each object.

getNormal (Accessor<number[3]>, optional) transition-enabled {#getnormal}

  • Default: [0, 0, 1]

The normal of each object, in [nx, ny, nz].

  • If an array is provided, it is used as the normal for all objects.
  • If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its normal.

getColor (Accessor<Color>, optional) transition-enabled {#getcolor}

  • Default: [0, 0, 0, 255]

The rgba color is in the format of [r, g, b, [a]]. Each channel is a number between 0-255 and a is 255 if not supplied.

  • If an array is provided, it is used as the color for all objects.
  • If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its color.
