Mapboxgl in Superset

[Yisel-Hernandez]

Is it possible to configure a deck.gl route graph with Mapbox to show the direction the route is being plotted in with an arrow?

Superset's deck.gl integration (including Path and Arc layers) lets you plot routes on Mapbox basemaps, but there isn't a built-in option to show route direction with arrows. The available configuration options—like line_column, line_type, color_picker, and line_width—don't include directional arrows or similar markers for directionality. Example code and documentation for these layers also don't show support for this feature out of the box 1 2.

To visualize direction, you would need custom rendering logic—such as using deck.gl's PathLayer with custom icons or an ArrowLayer (if available in deck.gl), but this isn't exposed in Superset's current UI or chart configuration. Implementing this would likely require extending Superset's deck.gl plugin system or customizing the frontend code 3.

If you want to pursue a custom solution, you might look into how deck.gl supports directional arrows at the library level and consider whether a custom Superset plugin or code modification could expose that functionality.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
