How to set Globe's initial position?

[Igal-Kleiner]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When the Globe initiates, it's always centered somewhere above Africa.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if it'll be possible to provide some initial points prop, and the globe will be centered to these points. Something like:

<Globe initialPosition={{lat: 41.89193, lng: 12.51133}} />

Describe alternatives you've considered Perhaps provide a callback to onGlobeReady prop that will rotate the Globe to desired position. I couldn't find a way to do that programmatically so far though.

OK, I found a way to do that with useEffect, globeRef and pointOfView(), but it looks cumbersome, and having a prop would be so much easier...

@Igal-Kleiner mind sharing an example of how you managed to implement this?

Something like this worked for me:

const ExampleComponent: React.FC = () => {
  const globeMethods = useRef<GlobeMethods | undefined>(undefined);
  return <Globe
              ref={globeMethods}
              onGlobeReady={() => globeMethods.current?.pointOfView({lng: -90, lat: 30})}

 />;

Above post worked for me!
