Inherits from all Base Layer properties.
greatCircle (boolean, optional) {#greatcircle}falseIf true, create the arc along the shortest path on the earth surface. This option is only effective with data in the LNGLAT coordinate system.
numSegments (number, optional) {#numsegments}50The number of segments used to draw each arc. This prop can be used to make arcs smooth when using greatCircle with long paths.
widthUnits (string, optional) {#widthunits}'pixels'The units of the line width, one of 'meters', 'common', and 'pixels'. See unit system.
widthScale (number, optional) {#widthscale}1The scaling multiplier for the width of each line. This prop is a very efficient way to change the width of all objects, comparing to recalculating the width for each object with getWidth.
widthMinPixels (number, optional) {#widthminpixels}0The minimum line width in pixels. This prop can be used to prevent the line from getting too thin when zoomed out.
widthMaxPixels (number, optional) {#widthmaxpixels}Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGERThe maximum line width in pixels. This prop can be used to prevent the line from getting too thick when zoomed in.
getSourcePosition (Accessor<Position>, optional) {#getsourceposition}object => object.sourcePositionMethod called to retrieve the source position of each object.
getTargetPosition (Accessor<Position>, optional) {#gettargetposition}object => object.targetPositionMethod called to retrieve the target position of each object.
getSourceColor (Accessor<Color>, optional) {#getsourcecolor}[0, 0, 0, 255]The rgba color is in the format of [r, g, b, [a]]. Each channel is a number between 0-255 and a is 255 if not supplied.
getTargetColor (Accessor<Color>, optional) {#gettargetcolor}[0, 0, 0, 255]The rgba color at the target, in r, g, b, [a]. Each component is in the 0-255 range.
getWidth (Accessor<number>, optional) {#getwidth}1The line width of each object, in units specified by widthUnits (default pixels).
getHeight (Accessor<number>, optional) {#getheight}1Multiplier of layer height. 0 will make the layer flat.
getTilt (Accessor<number>, optional) {#gettilt}0Use to tilt the arc to the side if you have multiple arcs with the same source and target positions.
In degrees, can be positive or negative (-90 to +90).
