L.Marker.Stack & L.Icon.Chip

A client-side implementation of @CartoDB's idea of a stacked chips symbolizer.

This is composed of two parts:

• L.Marker.Stack allows displaying several L.Icons on a stack top of each other, at the same L.LatLng.
• L.Icon.Chip is a ellipse-shaped L.Icon.

L.Marker.Stack reference

Behaves like a L.Marker, but has the following options:

• icons: Must be an Array of L.Icons. The order of the icons in the array defines the stacking order. This deprecates the icon property.
• stackOffset: An instance of L.Point. Defines how many pixels each icon is offset from the previous one. The default is [0, -5], which means each icon is offset 5 pixels vertically towards the top (it is possible to make downward-facing stacks).
• stackZOffset: An integer, affecting the z-index of the icons. Positive values display the last icon on top, negative values display the first icon on top. The default is a positive 1.

L.Icon.Chip reference

Behaves like a L.DivIcon, but has the following extra options:

• border: A CSS definition the border property. Defaults to "#888 solid 1px".
• color: A CSS color definition. Defaults to "blue".
• iconSize: Defaults to [12, 8]. Change it to make the ellipse bigger or smaller.
• iconAnchor: Defaults to [6, 4] (the center of the ellipse).

Example

var stack = L.marker.stack(myCenter, {
	icons: [
		L.icon.chip({ color: 'red' }),
		L.icon.chip({ color: 'red' }),
		L.icon.chip({ color: 'blue' }),
		L.icon.chip({ color: 'lime' }),
	],
	stackOffset: [0, -5]
});

map.addLayer(stack);
