Multi-library Support¶
In this section, you'll learn about Terra Draw's adapter pattern and how to use the same drawing code across different mapping libraries.
Understanding Adapters¶
Terra Draw's adapter pattern allows the same drawing code to work across different mapping libraries. This follows the official adapters documentation.
What are Adapters?¶
Adapters are bridge components that translate Terra Draw's unified API calls into library-specific operations. Each supported mapping library has its own adapter that handles:
- Rendering - How features are displayed on the map
- Event handling - How user interactions are processed
- Coordinate systems - How geographic coordinates are managed
- Layer management - How drawing layers are added/removed
Available Adapters¶
