Documentation

threebox

All the Threebox Documentation has been completely updated, including all the methods, properties and events implemented in Threebox and objects, but still 'work in progress' adding better documented examples and images to illustrate Threebox capabilities.



Compatibility/Dependencies

  • Three.r117 (already bundled into the Threebox build). If desired, other versions can be swapped in and rebuilt here, though compatibility is not guaranteed. (WARNING: v118.3 breaks compatibility in some cases)
  • Mapbox-gl-js v1.11.1.


Getting started

Download the bundle from dist/threebox.js or dist/threebox.min.js and add include it in a <script> tag on your page.

Several introductory examples are here. To run them, create a config.js file with your Mapbox-gl-js access token, alongside and in the format of the template.



Contributing

Build the library with npm run build, or npm run dev to rebuild continuously as you develop. Both commands will output a bundle in /dist/threebox.js.
