While zooming in, point feature colors "pop" in and out

Open makella opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I know that there was an issue a long time back from Iago about zooming in and seeing shifts in symbology.

I'm noticing that again with category points. I think what is happening as more data is added, the new features draw on top of existing features which is giving that shift/jump in color.

If you zoom in on any of the clusters in this map you will notice what I'm talking about.

Based on an older issue (unrelated) where @Algunenano comments about ordering, I added order and it minimizes the popping effect because we have explicitly set the draw order of the points: map

But, that still doesn't solve the issue with the map above since order can only be used with width AND varying symbol sizes.

Basically, the default order from the maps API is no order therefore we are running into this issue. At one time David had mentioned a potential default randomized ordering in VL, which might be a solution.
