Companion notebook for the Lonboard tutorial in PlanetaryComputerDataCatalog.
Walks through interactive raster and vector visualization of Planetary
Computer data: STAC search, RasterLayer.from_stac, opacity and colormap
adjustments, raster + vector layer composition.

The notebook used lonboard.experimental.RasterLayer.from_stac, which does
not exist in any released lonboard. Rewrite around lonboard's shipping
strength — GPU vector rendering — using Microsoft Building Footprints:
read a STAC GeoParquet quadkey partition into a GeoDataFrame, render
hundreds of thousands of polygons with PolygonLayer, then color by
meanHeight via apply_continuous_cmap. No tile server; geometry streams
as Arrow.
