pydeck_chart not showing different pydeck Views types

Summary

When I try to show Pydeck map with view other than “MapView”, nothing happens, it does not change the view of the map.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use code:

import streamlit as st
import pydeck as pdk

view_state = pdk.ViewState(latitude=0, longitude=0, zoom=2, min_zoom=2)
view = pdk.View(type="MapView", controller=True)

deck = pdk.Deck(views=[view],initial_view_state=view_state)
st.pydeck_chart(deck)

1. Try to change view: view = pdk.View(type="OrbitView", controller=True) or view = pdk.View(type="OrthographicView", controller=True), or any other

Expected behavior:

It should change the view of the map.

Actual behavior:

It still shows the same “MapView” view of the map.

Is this a regression?

no

Hi Fanilo,

Thank you very much for the explanation. Excellent, I will try the solution with embedding deck.to_html() to components.html() and I will send feedback here if we manage to deal with it.

Thanks again! Best, Jovan

Hi Eveyone, this is a very good question I would like to know too. I’m plotting point clouds below the map (underground) and full rotations of the OrbitView type would be tremendously helpful to check distribution and patterns. For instance, concentration of hypocentres (points to origin of earthquake) could show the rupture plane or fault. Thanks in advance for any help or hint on how to achieve this!
