Layer functions

All the layer functions are packed inside layer modole. e.g. themap.layer.create_layer

get_default_style

It provides default style definition for layer. Ideally after creating new layer, if you intend to style it further, you should acquire defualt style dict and change that dict further. e.g.

layer = map.create_layer(layer_options)
style = themap.layer.get_default_style()
    #...
    #You might want to manipulate style dict here...
    #...
layer.GLStyle = json.dumps(style)
    #...
    # Now you can apply diffrent styles
    # e.g. layer.color_by('<<categofy_field>>','category')
