Layer Alt

The layer-alt icon represents a layered map or geographic information system (GIS) data visualization. It is often used in mapping and geographic applications to signify the presence of multiple layers of data. The icon's design typically features a stack of layers or a layered map.

In real-world applications, the layer-alt icon appears in software such as ArcGIS, Google Maps, and other mapping platforms. It is used to indicate the availability of multiple layers of data, such as terrain, satellite imagery, or demographic information.

From a UX perspective, the layer-alt icon communicates the idea of layered data and allows users to understand the structure and organization of the data being presented. It helps users navigate and interact with complex data visualizations.

Layer Alt is one of 367 icons in Font-GIS, made by Jean-Marc Viglino and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 100 × 100 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds LayerAltIcon to components/icons/gis-layer-alt.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed LayerAltIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Layer Alt icon, or any of 367 Font-GIS icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 100 × 100 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Layer Alt", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LayerAltIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LayerAltIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Jean-Marc Viglino) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Jean-Marc Viglino, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are data, visualization, GIS, maps, layers and geographic. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Layer Alt in another set.
