The map displays a set of orange point markers over a light CartoDB basemap, centered on the United States, with data pulled from the `smart_center` table. It uses the CartoDB.js `createLayer` API to load a CartoDB sublayer with a custom CartoCSS style, defining markers with a 10-pixel width, white outline, and orange fill. The Leaflet map is initialized with a tile layer from CartoDB’s basemaps and fitted to bounds spanning from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The rendering occurs on an HTML canvas background, though the visible map itself is Leaflet-based.

This example demonstrates how to initialize a Leaflet map centered at coordinates [0,0] with a zoom level of 2, then add a CartoDB layer to it. The code uses the `L.Map` constructor and `cartodb.createLayer` to load a visualization from a CartoDB visualization JSON URL. Once the layer finishes loading, a callback function is available for further interaction, while an error handler displays an alert if the layer fails to load. The map serves as the base canvas for displaying the CartoDB-provided geographic data.

Leaflet multilayer example | CartoDB.js

This example uses CartoDB.js to create a multilayer Leaflet map, combining multiple interactive layers into a single view. It overlays geographic data points from CartoDB tables on a dark basemap, with each layer rendering distinct visual encodings such as colored markers. A custom animated menu, built with CSS transitions, lets users toggle between layers or projections. The code relies on Leaflet’s map API and CartoDB.js’s `createLayer` method to manage the data layers, while the menu interactivity is handled purely through HTML and CSS.

Layer selector example | CartoDB.js

An interactive map demonstrates layer selection through a custom side panel. Using CartoDB.js and Leaflet, the example loads a multi-layer visualization from a CartoDB viz.json URL, displaying countries, cables, and populated places as separate sublayers. A styled HTML list acts as the layer selector, where clicking different options triggers the `show()` and `hide()` methods on specific sublayer indices to toggle their visibility. The map initializes on a dark background with zoom controls, and a SQL query object from `cartodb.SQL` is created for potential data interactions.

This example shows a Leaflet map centered at the equator with zoom level 2, overlaid with a CartoDB layer. It uses Stamen’s toner tile layer as the base map, then creates a CartoDB layer via `cartodb.createLayer` and adds it to the map. The code includes callbacks for the layer’s `done` and `error` events, though no specific layer styling or data processing is shown.

Leaflet multilayer example | CartoDB.js

A gallery of small, synchronized Leaflet maps displays each country from the Natural Earth dataset in its own bounding box, with the target country highlighted in red. Using CartoDB.js, the code executes a SQL query to fetch country extents, then creates a separate map per row and applies CartoCSS styling to emphasize the selected polygon. Hover interactions fetch simplified GeoJSON geometries via `cartodb.SQL` and dynamically add or remove highlight layers using Leaflet’s `L.GeoJSON.geometryToLayer` and `featureOver`/`featureOut` events.

Layer selector example | CartoDB.js

This example shows an interactive map with a layer selector that lets users toggle between two data categories, Sunday and Monday, or view all data at once. The map is built with CartoDB.js, using the `cartodb.createVis` API to load a visualization from a hosted CartoDB account. A custom HTML list serves as the selector, and clicking an item triggers JavaScript that calls `layers.getSubLayer().show()` or `.hide()` on the appropriate sublayers. The code also uses the `cartodb.SQL` API, though only for setup, and relies on jQuery for DOM event handling.

Leaflet example | CartoDB.js

This example combines Leaflet with CartoDB.js to display two CartoDB layers on a Stamen Toner base map, centered on global coordinates. A queue library loads both viz.json layer definitions, then adds them to the map, cycling through visibility states on any body click. The first click hides the first layer, the second hides the second and shows the first, and the third restores both layers. The code uses the Leaflet map API, CartoDB.js `createLayer`, and the D3 queue for asynchronous loading.

Layer selector example | CartoDB.js

This example shows an interactive map of urban areas with a click-to-zoom-and-download feature. It displays polygon features from the Natural Earth dataset, and clicking a polygon either zooms to its centroid if the map is zoomed out, or triggers a download of shapefile data from an OpenStreetMap database query. The visualization uses CartoDB.js to create the map and manage layers, with a custom SQL query selecting geometry, area, and centroid coordinates. The code also enables feature interactivity and handles click events to update the map view or initiate a file download.
