CanvasGlobe 1.2.0

CanvasGlobe 1.2.0 adds a complete optional animation and data-visualization system without increasing the core entry point.

Highlights

• 54 composable globe effects with three paint stages and deterministic timeline controls
• nine geographic chart layers and six reversible visual recipes
• search, timeline, threshold, and cross-filter controls that bind to your own UI
• offline search over 6,772 populated places
• polished pointer interactions, including switchable Rotate and Draw modes for lasso selection
• complete TypeScript declarations, examples, Effect Studio documentation, and clean-install coverage

The core renderer remains about 125 KB gzipped. Optional modules are downloaded only when imported.

CanvasGlobe 1.0.0 beta 3

CanvasGlobe 1.0.0 beta 3 introduces the approved professional production licensing experience.

• Adds a clear in-canvas commercial license panel with Purchase license, Continue to preview, and existing-key actions.
• Adds a persistent unlicensed watermark and purchase ribbon after the preview action.

CanvasGlobe 1.0.0 beta 2

Install the current beta:

npm install canvas-globe@next
npm create canvas-globe@next my-globe -- --template react
