Can you clarify the ask here? From what you wrote it seems like it should be possible to place a canvas and draw a grid behind the map so that when the map loads the lower canvas gets hidden.

@HarelM

Thanks for the prompt reply. Something like @wipfli mentioned in their post. It would be great if it were natively available in maplibre-gl-js

It's up to the developer/PO/PM to define the behavior of the background. I'm not sure this specific case is something that is relevant to most use case. You can also create a plugin that allows this and see how many people download it, if it gets too a critical mass we can consider incorporating it into this library.
