Description

See https://github.com/r-tmap/tmap.deckgl

It's only a start, and mainly serves as a proof of concept for the extendibility of tmap.

remotes::install_github("r-tmap/tmap")
remotes::install_github("r-tmap/tmap.deckgl")

library(tmap)
library(tmap.deckgl)

tmap_mode("deck")
tm_shape(World) + tm_polygons("HPI", fill.scale = tm_scale_intervals(values = "RdYlGn"))

Help is welcome, especially from those who know deck.gl.

As a second proof of concept, I will add a new 3d layer type, probably called tm_polygons3D.

Research direction
The issue announces a new package tmap.deckgl as a proof of concept for extending tmap with deck.gl. The author mentions adding a tm polygons3D layer next. To contribute, explore the tmap.deckgl repository (https://github.com/r tmap/tmap.deckgl) and understand how it integrates with tmap. Focus on implementing additional deck.gl layer types, starting with tm polygons3D, and ensure compatibility with tmap's existing scale and shape functions. The comments may contain further discussion; review them for specific guidance.
