Lightning Talk, Qt & Mapbox
summary
Mapbox GL is ported to Qt as a thin C++ wrapper that exposes map control via Qt signals and slots, renders vector tiles with an on‑device OpenGL renderer (OpenGL ES 2.0) and applies JSON styles locally so apps can change colors, fonts, icons and overlays without server rerenders. The result is an embeddable QMapbox GL view that’s hardware‑accelerated, smaller than bundling raster tiles, supports custom data and styling in real time, and integrates into Qt UIs as a regular view.
