Change Tile Layer Style

Set the layer style

Updating the style of a WebGL tile layer

When you want to change the style of a WebGL tile layer based on some change in your application state, you should use the layer.updateStyleVariables() method. A layer can be efficiently rendered even if style variables are changed on every render frame. In cases where you need to completely replace the style of a layer, you can call the layer.setStyle() method. This method should not be called in response to frequent user events (e.g. mouse movement, dragging a slider, etc.).
