This function should receive a number between `0` and `1` (or potentially higher if saturation > 1), and return a color string.

This property also supports using an accessor method based on the hexagon's aggregated data, following the syntax: `hexMargin(({ points, sumWeight, center: { lat, lng }}) => ...)`.

Render Control

Prop	Type	Default	Description
rendererConfig	object	`{ antialias: true, alpha: true }`	Configuration parameters to pass to the ThreeJS WebGLRenderer constructor. This prop only has an effect on component mount.
enablePointerInteraction	bool	`true`	Whether to enable the mouse tracking events. This activates an internal tracker of the canvas mouse position and enables the functionality of object hover/click and tooltip labels, at the cost of performance. If you're looking for maximum gain in your globe performance it's recommended to switch off this property.
pointerEventsFilter	func	`() => true`	Filter function which defines whether a particular object can be the target of pointer interactions. In general, objects that are closer to the camera get precedence in capturing pointer events. This function allows having ignored object layers so that pointer events can be passed through to deeper objects in the various globe layers. The ThreeJS object and its associated data (if any) are passed as arguments: `pointerEventsFilter(obj, data)`. The function should return a boolean value.
lineHoverPrecision	number	0.2	Precision to use when detecting hover events over Line objects, such as arcs and paths.

Method	Arguments	Description
pointOfView	{ lat, lng, altitude } ,ms=`0`	By default the camera will aim at the cross between the equator and the prime meridian (`0,0` coordinates), at an altitude of `2.5` globe radii.	Camera position, in terms of geographical `lat`, `lng`, `altitude` coordinates. Each of the coordinates is optional, allowing for motion in just some direction. The 2nd optional argument defines the duration of the transition (in ms) to animate the camera motion. A value of 0 (default) moves the camera immediately to the final position.
pauseAnimation	-	Pauses the rendering cycle of the component, effectively freezing the current view and cancelling all user interaction. This method can be used to save performance in circumstances when a static image is sufficient.
resumeAnimation	-	Resumes the rendering cycle of the component, and re-enables the user interaction. This method can be used together with `pauseAnimation` for performance optimization purposes.
onZoom	func	Callback function for point-of-view changes by zooming or rotating the globe using the orbit controls. The current point of view (with the syntax `{ lat, lng, altitude }`) is included as sole argument.
lights	array	Getter/setter for the list of lights to use in the scene. Each item should be an instance of Light.
scene	-	Access the internal ThreeJS Scene. Can be used to extend the current scene with additional objects not related to globe.gl.
camera	-	Access the internal ThreeJS Camera.
renderer	-	Access the internal ThreeJS WebGL renderer.
postProcessingComposer	-	Access the post-processing composer. Use this to add post-processing rendering effects to the scene. By default the composer has a single pass (RenderPass) that directly renders the scene without any effects.
controls	-	Access the internal ThreeJS orbit controls object.
