Demo

##Usage

Set up

Add the MaskCanvas and Quadtree libraries.

<script src="QuadTree.js"></script>
<script src="L.TileLayer.MaskCanvas.js"></script>

You can also use the package manager bower to install the package using bower install leaflet.maskcanvas.

Initialize the maskCanvas layer

L.TileLayer.maskCanvas();

Set the dataset for the layer.

layer.setData(data);

Finally add the layer to the map.

map.addLayer(layer);

The data format is a simple array of [lat, lng] pairs. For example [[51.50,-0.28],[51.51,-0.07],[51.51,-0.07],[51.54,-0.29]]. I recommend that you load the data set asynchronously in order to keep the page responsive. Once the data is loaded, you can add it to the layer and display it.

Possible options

The MaskCanvas layer supports all Leaflet canvas layer options which can be passed to L.TileLayer.maskCanvas. You probably want to set the layer opacity.

Other possible options:

var layer = L.TileLayer.maskCanvas({
       radius: 5,  // radius in pixels or in meters (see useAbsoluteRadius)
       useAbsoluteRadius: true,  // true: r in meters, false: r in pixels
       color: '#000',  // the color of the layer
       opacity: 0.5,  // opacity of the not covered area
       noMask: false,  // true results in normal (filled) circled, instead masked circles
       lineColor: '#A00'   // color of the circle outline if noMask is true

});

Leaflet 1.0-dev

For the upcoming leaflet version there is a slightly changed implementation based on L.GridLayer. All you need to do, is replace L.TileLayer.maskCanvas with L.GridLayer.maskCanvas.

The new L.GridLayer.maskCanvas for leaflet 1.0-dev supports the same options as before. Additionally it allows you to specify different radii for each data point as you can see in the example at http://loggia.at/leaflet-maskcanvas/demo/index-1.0-dev.html
