leaflet-contour v1.0.0

Leaflet Contour

A customisable Leaflet contour plugin. Uses d3-contour under the hood.

Grid of simulated water temperature values on Lake Geneva from the Meteolakes project, plotted as filled contours.

Check out the examples:

• Basic (source)

Quick start

import L from "leaflet";
import 'leaflet-contour';

or

then

var map = L.map("map");
L.contour(data, {
    thresholds: 50
}).addTo(map);

API reference

data

Data must be an object {x: [[]], y:[[]], z:[[]]} where x, y, z are 2D arrays of equivalent shape. x: Longitude y: Latitude z: Parameter to display

thresholds

Number of contours to draw

custom contour style

Contours are produced as geojson, so the same techniques to control geojson plotting can be used to style the contours [link].

For example filled contours, coloured based on contour value. Here "getColor" is a function that accepts a value, min, max and a color range and returns a color on that range. An example of the function is available in the examples.

L.contour(data, {
    thresholds: 50,
    style: (feature) => {
        return {
        color: getColor(feature.geometry.value, 10.5, 13.6, colors),
        opacity: 0,
        fillOpacity: 1,
        };
    },
}).addTo(map);

add popup

This shows how to add an onclick popup that gives the value of the contour.

L.contour(data, {
    thresholds: 50,
    onEachFeature: onEachContour(),
}).addTo(map);

function onEachContour() {
    return function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
        layer.bindPopup(
        `<table><tbody><tr><td>${feature.value}°C</td></tr></tbody></table>`
        );
    };
}
