Description

Target Use Case

The scatterplot layer is very useful and an extension to allow other shapes such as ellipses, triangles, squares would a nice feature to have.

Proposal

I believe the feature request is self explanatory.

Research direction

Start by reviewing deck.gl's scatterplot layer and how it currently represents shapes. Determine the intended API and rendering scope for adding ellipses, triangles, and squares; the work is done when these shapes are supported by the layer and their behavior is documented or demonstrated.
