Support overlapping and/or queued Camera animations

mapbox-gl-js version: 0.20.1

Steps to Trigger Behavior

See demo 1: https://jsfiddle.net/tn4yqcp2/

Try to zoom (level > 7.5): the pitch is set according to current level of zoom. The flyTo button isn't working.

See demo 2: https://jsfiddle.net/tn4yqcp2/1/

Try to zoom (level > 7.5): the pitch is not set according to current level of zoom. The flyTo button is working.

1. Create a map
2. Listen for zoom, setPitch according to current level
3. Trigger an animated action (eg flyTo)

Expected Behavior

The flyTo animation should continue, and the pitch should also be updated without breaking current animation.

Actual Behavior

Using setPitch cancels current animation (other methods too, like setBearing and so on).

PS. I'm also looking for a way to know if an event has been triggered manually (eg. scroll to zoom) or programmatically (eg. flyTo) as a workaround.

This is the intended behavior of the current API. For simplicity's sake, we don't support queued or overlapping camera animations. I think this feature should be considered in the scope of #2801

You can use the event.originalEvent property to determine this

Yes, would be great to have more flexibility! event.originalEvent did the trick anyway, thanks for your quick answer.
