maplibre-gl-legend

This module adds legend control which is able to create legend panel from mapbox style to maplibre-gl. It was forked from mapbox-gl-legend.

This module is using source code of orangemug/legend-symbol. I just adopted this library to normal Mapbox GL Plugin. Thanks so much to develop this library!

Installation:

npm i @watergis/maplibre-gl-legend --save
