Figure 1. nebula.gl lets users draw a variety of geometry types.
Figure 2. In this demonstration of nebula.gl, we use the tool to edit a complex polygon with 14,000 points, enough points to cause other browser-based tools to freeze.
Figure 3. nebula.gl’s“Extrude” edit mode lets users trace building footprints.
Figure 4. In the above demo, kepler.gl uses nebula.gl-powered react-map-gl-draw to filter data based on a polygon drawn by the user (see this for more context).
Figure 5. A GeoJSON file with various geometry types is edited via nebula.gl’s EditableGeoJsonLayer.
