- * Render mode for vector tiles:
- *  * `'image'`: Vector tiles are rendered as images. Great performance, but
- *    point symbols and texts are always rotated with the view and pixels are
- *    scaled during zoom animations.
- *  * `'hybrid'`: Polygon and line elements are rendered as images, so pixels
- *    are scaled during zoom animations. Point symbols and texts are accurately
- *    rendered as vectors and can stay upright on rotated views.
- *  * `'vector'`: Vector tiles are rendered as vectors. Most accurate rendering
- *    even during animations, but slower performance than the other options.
