iTowns is a web framework written in Javascript/WebGL for visualisation of 3D geographic data allowing precise measurements in 3D. Its first purpose was the visualisation of street view images and terrestrial lidar point cloud. It has then been extended to handle more data types.

The V2 of iTowns Open Source is a refactoring of iTowns V1

This version includes a globe visualization mode.

You can use it through npm (the preferred way) or download a bundle from our github release page.

In your project:

npm install --save itowns

This package contains the ES5-compatible sources of Itowns.

If you're using a module bundler (like wepback), you can directly require('itowns') in your code.

Alternatively, we provide a bundle you can directly include in your html files that exposes itowns in window:

<script src="node_modules/itowns/dist/itowns.js"></script>

/!\ Please note that this bundle also contains the dependencies.

See our release page (coming soon).
