Install
npm install georaster-layer-for-leaflet
GeoRaster Prerequisite
GeoRasterLayer requires that input be first converted into GeoRaster format. You can install GeoRaster with the following command:
npm install georaster
Load Package via Script Tag
<script src="https://unpkg.com/georaster-layer-for-leaflet/dist/georaster-layer-for-leaflet.min.js">
Usage
new GeoRasterLayer({ georaster }).addTo(map);
Demos

- More Here: https://github.com/GeoTIFF/georaster-layer-for-leaflet-example
Why
- Support for nearly all projections, thanks to proj4-fully-loaded and epsg.io
- Super faster rendering thanks to a simple nearest neighbor interpolation
- Use of web workers means seamless integration that doesn't block main thread
- Loads large geotiffs greater than a hundred megabytes
- Supports custom rendering including custom colors, directional arrows, and context drawing
- Doesn't depend on WebGL
- Mask data inside or outside a given geometry
The GeoRasterLayer Class
A custom class for rendering GeoTIFF's (including COG's) on a leaflet map. The layer extends L.GridLayer, see the docs for inherited options and methods.
Usage Example
Source Code: https://github.com/GeoTIFF/georaster-layer-for-leaflet-example/blob/master/main.js
var parse_georaster = require("georaster");
var GeoRasterLayer = require("georaster-layer-for-leaflet");
// initalize leaflet map
var map = L.map('map').setView([0, 0], 5);
// add OpenStreetMap basemap
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
attribution: '© <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);
var url_to_geotiff_file = "example_4326.tif";
fetch(url_to_geotiff_file)
.then(response => response.arrayBuffer())
.then(arrayBuffer => {
parse_georaster(arrayBuffer).then(georaster => {
console.log("georaster:", georaster);
/*
GeoRasterLayer is an extension of GridLayer,
which means can use GridLayer options like opacity.
Just make sure to include the georaster option!
Optionally set the pixelValuesToColorFn function option to customize
how values for a pixel are translated to a color.

*/
var layer = new GeoRasterLayer({
georaster: georaster,
opacity: 0.7,
pixelValuesToColorFn: values => values[0] === 42 ? '#ffffff' : '#000000',
resolution: 64 // optional parameter for adjusting display resolution
});
layer.addTo(map);
map.fitBounds(layer.getBounds());
});
});
Methods
| Method | Returns | Description |
| ------------------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| updateColors(pixelValuesToColorFn, options) | this | Causes the tiles to redraw without clearing them first. It uses the updated pixelValuesToColorFn
function. You can set a debugLevel specific to this function by passing in an options object with a debugLevel property. For example, you can turn on the console debugs for this method by setting debugLevel = 1
in the options (even if you created the layer with debugLevel = 0
). |
