H3 layers visualize spatial data using H3 Hexagonal Hierarchical Spatial Index.

To use H3 layer, you need a hex_id or hexagon_id in your dataset, which can be generated using h3-js from latitude, longitude and resolution.

Naming Convention

kepler.gl auto generates H3 layer from column: hex_id, hexagon_id

Sample dataset:

hex_id | value | |----------|:------:| 89283082c2fffff | 64 | 8928308288fffff | 73 | 89283082c07ffff | 65 | 89283082817ffff | 74 | 89283082c3bffff | 66 | 89283082883ffff | 76 |
