--- layout: example.html title: Layer Spy shortdesc: View a portion of one layer over another docs: >

Layer rendering can be manipulated in precompose and postcompose event listeners. These listeners get an event with a reference to the Canvas rendering context. In this example, the precompose listener sets a clipping mask around the most recent mouse position, giving you a spyglass effect for viewing one layer over another.

Move around the map to see the effect. Use the ↑ up and ↓ down arrow keys to adjust the spyglass size.
