This section explains how to configure a layer based on a map from a tile server. These map layers are used to display additional geographic information on the main map.
Tile server layers are configured in TileServerLayer nodes, as in the example below.
<TileServerLayer> <id>TileServerExample</id> <Name>Tile Server Example</Name> <Icon id="icon1"/> <Url>http://{s}.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/sat/{z}/{x}/{y}.png</Url> <MaxZoom>11</MaxZoom> <SubDomains>otile1,otile2,otile3,otile4</SubDomains> </TileServerLayer>
In the XML structure of the layer, the following elements can be configured:
|
