Display a Globe with an Atmosphere
Adding an atmosphere to a globe projection in Maptoolkit Maps JS is done by calling map.setFog() with color, high-color, space-color, and horizon-blend parameters. These values control the haze near the horizon and the transition into the space background. Use this when building an overview globe, a geopolitical visualization, or any map where a full-planet perspective is part of the visual experience.

const map = new maptoolkit.Map({

center: [13.0, 47.5],
zoom: 2,

});
map.addControl(new maptoolkit.NavigationControl(), 'top-right');
map.on('style.load', () => {
map.setProjection({ type: 'globe' });
map.setFog({
color: 'rgb(186, 210, 235)',
'high-color': 'rgb(36, 92, 223)',
'horizon-blend': 0.02,
'space-color': 'rgb(11, 11, 25)',
'star-intensity': 0.6
});
