Tile Maps

Mapbox maps are tile-based maps that are rendered using tiles that join together to form the map plot. Mapbox tile maps are layer-based, where the base map layer is defined by layout.mapbox.style.

The data layer plotted on the base map is controlled by a plotly.express or graph_object function.
