Usage

addLogo(
  map,
  img,
  alpha = 1,
  src = NULL,
  url = NULL,
  position = c("topleft", "topright", "bottomleft", "bottomright"),
  offset.x = 50,
  offset.y = 13,
  width = 60,
  height = 60,
  class = NULL,
  layerId = NULL
)

updateLogo(map, img, layerId)

hideLogo(map, layerId)

showLogo(map, layerId)

Arguments

map	a mapview or leaflet object.
