A JS library for WebGL-powered geographic maps.
Gleo is a library for displaying geographical maps (and map-like things on cartesian planes), leveraging WebGL1 via the Glii abstraction library. It aims to cover the use cases of Leaflet, OpenLayers or MapboxGL/MaplibreGL, but since it's a one-man project, it's not quite there yet.
Go to https://ivansanchez.gitlab.io/gleo/ , then.
git submodule init plus git submodule updateglii and arrugator dependencies from their git repos/browser-demos, or the REPL in /websiteNo bundling needed! Gleo leverages the magic of ES6 modules.
Running npm install then npm run docs will build the API documentation and the graphviz UML diagram.
Gleo itself is licensed under a GPL-3.0 license. See the LICENSE file for details.
