MBStyle Cookbook

The MBStyle Cookbook is a collection of MBStyle "recipes" for creating various types of map styles. Wherever possible, each example is designed to show off a single MBStyle layer so that code can be copied from the examples and adapted when creating MBStyles of your own. While not an exhaustive reference like the MBStyle reference the MBStyle cookbook is designed to be a practical reference, showing common style templates that are easy to understand.

The MBStyle Cookbook is divided into four sections: the first three for each of the vector types (points, lines, and polygons) and the fourth section for rasters to come. Each example in every section contains a screenshot showing actual GeoServer WMS output, a snippet of the MBStyle code for reference, and a link to download the full MBStyle.

Each section uses data created especially for the MBStyle Cookbook, with shapefiles for vector data and GeoTIFFs for raster data.
