non-geospatial tile layer in PyDeck

[cornhundred]

Hi, is it possible to use a non-geospatial tile layer (e.g. https://deck.gl/examples/tile-layer-non-geospatial/) in PyDeck?

I'm able to use data from a Pandas DataFrame to generate a BitMap layer (#5151), but it would be great to be able to load tiles from a much larger composite image.

I don't think the TileLayer is currently implemented in Pydeck because the getTileData prop is a JS function that can't currently be constructed in Python.

Thanks @kylebarron, I'll try something like this (#5151 (comment)) where I can update the BitmapLayer image.

Would it be possible to have a flask server hosting the tile images (e.g. deepzoom JPEGs) and have a custom TileLayer in PyDeck make get requests to this flask server?
