add Azimuth parameter #186

Open iShift opened 6 years ago

Hi it would be perfect if you add Azimuth parameter, it is very useful for drew telecom data on maps (like antennas) so if we have LAT LNG and AZ we can draw triangle with some fix (?) width

Thanks interesting! Do you have an example map of what that might look like?

LuTang-Terrence commented 6 years ago

I have a similar need. @heshan0131 you can imagine a 3D underground map of New York subways.

Currently I find an alternative solution: a geojson file with "LineString" type. Basically it consists of multiple points in 3D and the points are linked by lines. Kepler.gl can read this type and plot as expected.

Still I think it's way better to have a built in Azimuth parameter as @iShift mentioned, so that we can use other great features along with Kepler. I believe this will make Kepler.gl much more powerful.

Could you share with me a sample dataset that contains AZ so we can use to develop this feature?
