Prepare a recipe for use with the Mapbox Tiling Service

Prepare a recipe for use with the Mapbox Tiling Service

Usage

mts_make_recipe(...)

Arguments

...

One or more named lists that represent layers in the Mapbox Tiling Service recipe specification (https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-tiling-service/reference/#layer-example). These lists can be prepared with the helper function recipe_layer(), or prepared by hand if the user prefers. If multiple layers are included, a multi-layer recipe will be prepared that can produce tilesets with multiple sources.

Value

An R list representing an MTS recipe to be used to create a tileset.
