Felt Style Language: a powerful new mapping grammar

Felt has introduced the Felt Style Language to enhance map design flexibility, aiming to make map creation accessible and intuitive without requiring extensive cartographic knowledge. This new language simplifies the design process by eliminating complex syntaxes and offering built-in cartographic best practices, such as automatic legend generation and context-aware rendering of map elements. Users can define simple or categorical styles, employing mathematical expressions for filtering data, ensuring that map elements automatically adjust in size and visibility based on zoom levels. The platform also supports editable popups and allows for extensive customization, making it possible for users to create visually appealing maps efficiently. As Felt continues to develop this language, it promises to offer even more intuitive design functionalities to its users, fostering creativity and ease of use in mapmaking.
