ScenegraphLayer

The ScenegraphLayer renders a number of instances of a complete luma.gl scenegraph. While scenegraphs can be created programmatically, they are typically obtained by loading glTF files.

import DeckGL from '@deck.gl/react';
import {ScenegraphLayer} from '@deck.gl/mesh-layers';

function App({data, viewState}) {
  /**
   * Data format:
   * [
   *   {name: 'Colma (COLM)', address: '365 D Street, Colma CA 94014', exits: 4214, coordinates: [-122.466233, 37.684638]},
   *   ...
   * ]
   */
  const layer = new ScenegraphLayer({
    id: 'scenegraph-layer',
    data,
    pickable: true,
    scenegraph: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/master/2.0/BoxAnimated/glTF-Binary/BoxAnimated.glb',
    getPosition: d => d.coordinates,
    getOrientation: d => [0, Math.random() * 180, 90],
    _animations: {
      '*': {speed: 5}
    },
    sizeScale: 500,
    _lighting: 'pbr'
  });

  return <DeckGL viewState={viewState}
    layers={[layer]}
    getTooltip={({object}) => object && `${object.name}\n${object.address}`} />;
}

new deck.ScenegraphLayer({});

Properties

Inherits from all Base Layer properties.

Mesh

scenegraph (URL|Object|Promise)

The geometry to render for each data object. Can be a URL of an object. You need to provide the fetch function to load the object. Can also be a luma.gl ScenegraphNode, or a Promise that resolves to one. The layer calls delete() on scenegraph when a new one is provided or the layer is finalized.

loadOptions (Object, optional)

On top of the default options, also accepts options for the following loaders:

• GLTFLoader if the scenegraph prop is an URL

Render Options

sizeScale (Number, optional)

• Default 1.

Multiplier to scale each geometry by.

_animations (Object, optional)

• Default undefined. (No animations are running).

An object used to configure animations playing. keys can be one of the following:

• number for index number
• name for animation name
• * to affect all animations Each value is an object with:
• playing: true or false
• speed: number, 1 for default speed. Animations are parsed automatically from glTF files. Requires _animate on deck object.

getScene (Function, optional)

• Default: scenegraph => (scenegraph && scenegraph.scenes ? scenegraph.scenes[0] : scenegraph)

If you have multiple scenes you can select the scene you want to use. Only triggers when scenegraph property changes.

getAnimator (Function, optional)

• Default: scenegraph => scenegraph && scenegraph.animator

Return null to disable animation or provide your custom animator. Only triggers when scenegraph property changes.

_lighting (String, optional)

• Default: flat

Experimental lighting support, can be:

• flat: No light calculation. Works well with any textured object.
• pbr Uses glTF PBR model. Works well with glTF models.

Only read when scenegraph property changes. Uses global light configuration from deck.

_imageBasedLightingEnvironment (Function or GLTFEnvironment, optional)

• Default: null

Experimental Can be:

• A GLTFEnvironment object.
• A function that takes {gl, layer} as first argument and returns a GLTFEnvironment.

Only read when scenegraph property changes.

Data Accessors

getPosition (Function, optional)

• Default: object => object.position

Method called to retrieve the center position for each object in the data stream.

getColor (Function|Array, optional)

• Default: [0, 0, 0, 255]

The rgba color is in the format of [r, g, b, [a]]. Each channel is a number between 0-255 and a is 255 if not supplied. Only used if texture is empty.

• If an array is provided, it is used as the color for all objects.
• If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its color.

getOrientation (Function|Array, optional)

• Default: [0, 0, 0]

Object orientation defined as a vec3 of Euler angles, [pitch, yaw, roll] in degrees. This will be composed with layer's modelMatrix.

• If an array is provided, it is used as the orientation for all objects.
• If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its orientation.

getScale (Function|Array, optional)

• Default: [1, 1, 1]

Scaling factor on the mesh along each axis.

• If an array is provided, it is used as the scale for all objects.
• If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its scale.

getTranslation (Function|Array, optional)

• Default: [0, 0, 0]

Translation of the mesh along each axis. Offset from the center position given by getPosition. [x, y, z] in meters.

• If an array is provided, it is used as the offset for all objects.
• If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its offset.

getTransformMatrix (Function|Array, optional)

• Default: null

Explicitly define a 4x4 column-major model matrix for the mesh. If provided, will override getOrientation, getScale, getTranslation. This will be composed with layer's modelMatrix.

• If an array is provided, it is used as the transform matrix for all objects.
• If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its transform matrix.

sizeMinPixels (Number, optional)

• Default: 0

The minimum size in pixels for one unit of the scene.

sizeMaxPixels (Number, optional)

• Default: Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

The maximum size in pixels for one unit of the scene.
