WebTiledLayer

A layer that requests images from a tiled image server based on a URL template. It provides a simple way to integrate non-ArcGIS Services as a layer in a map. The URL template usually follows a pattern similar to https://{subDomain}.server.org/path/{level}/{col}/{row}.png, where:

  • "subDomain" is one of the strings in the subDomains list

  • "level" corresponds to a zoom level

  • "col" represents the column of the tile

  • "row" represents the row of the tile

The URL should be arranged to reflect how the tiles are organized in the cache or on the server, and can point to a web server (https://) or to a local file cache (file://).

The tiles retrieved by this class are accessed directly by URL. Because the service is only providing images, you are responsible for manually setting the attribution text on the map or scene view.

To create a custom service tiled layer whose URL follows the above pattern (or a similar pattern), you can extend this class. Alternatively, you can extend the super class ServiceImageTiledLayer, in which you implement a required method to set the request information for a given LOD, column, and row. Extending WebTiledLayer, however, has no such requirement.

An ErrorType.CommonInvalidArgument exception will be thrown when attempting to load a layer with invalid template URI.

If TileInfo is not specified, tiles are assumed to be in the OpenStreetMap tiling scheme, with 256x256 PNG tiles at 96 DPI, the WebMercator projection, and a FullExtent of -180, -85.0511, 180, 85.051.

Functional characteristics Tiles are fetched on demand using the specified URL template. Tiles are typically pre-rendered (cached) on the server but may be generated on demand by some services. Web tiled layers do not support identify, query, selection, or time.

Specifying subdomains from which the layer will request tiles allows the load to be more evenly distributed among servers.

Performance characteristics

Web tiled layer requires a connection to the service at all times. Performance is similar to other raster tile layers.

Properties

The array of sub-domains for the WebTiledLayer that can be used in the template URI. The array of sub-domain strings that can be used by the "{subDomain}" key in the template URI.

The URI template for the WebTiledLayer. The URI template of the WebTiledLayer. The template uses the "{subDomain}" (optional), "{level}", "{row}", and "{col}" keys to note how the layer should construct the URI for individual tiles.

Inherited properties

Link copied to clipboard
open override var attribution: String

The attribution string for the image tiled layer.

Link copied to clipboard

The brightness of the layer.

Link copied to clipboard
open override val canChangeVisibility: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the layer content's visibility can be changed. A flag indicating whether the layer content visibility can be changed. Will return false if an error occurs.

Link copied to clipboard

The contrast of the layer.

Link copied to clipboard

The description for the layer. The description of the layer.

Link copied to clipboard

The full extent of this layer, which is the extent where all layer data is contained. You can use this to zoom to all of the data contained in this layer. For feature layers, the extent is retrieved from the tables extent.

Link copied to clipboard

The gamma of the layer.

Link copied to clipboard
var id: String

The unique identifying string for the layer, for example specified in a map or scene. The id is used by other parts of this API to refer to a specific Layer, such as in a set of FeatureFenceParameters or a FacilityLayerDefinition. If not supplied, all layers will be assigned a unique id when created.

Link copied to clipboard

Whether the layer supports identify. If the layer is not loaded it may return false if identify support is determined by metadata that is not yet available.

Link copied to clipboard
open override var isVisible: Boolean

The layer content's visibility. The layer content visibility. Will return false if an error occurs.

Link copied to clipboard
val item: Item?

The item the layer has been created from.

Link copied to clipboard
open override val loadStatus: StateFlow<LoadStatus>

The load status.

Link copied to clipboard

The maximum scale for the layer. This controls the maximum scale level the layer can zoom to. All of the connected map views will be updated.

Link copied to clipboard

The minimum scale for the layer. This controls the minimum scale level the layer can zoom to. All of the connected map views will be updated.

Link copied to clipboard
open override var name: String

The name of this layer.

Link copied to clipboard

Determines how a tile request that returns 'NoData' is resampled. Zooming in can result in tile requests with no tiles at the requested level of detail. In this case, there are options that control what to display where the tile should be including:

Link copied to clipboard

The opacity for the layer. All of the connected map views will be updated.

Link copied to clipboard
open override var showInLegend: Boolean

A flag indicating whether the layer content participates in the legend. A flag indicating whether the layer content is shown in the legend.

Link copied to clipboard

The spatial reference of the layer.

Link copied to clipboard
open override val subLayerContents: StateFlow<List<LayerContent>>

The sub layer contents of a layer content.

Link copied to clipboard

The tile information. Use this method to set tile info on an already created tiled layer.

Link copied to clipboard
val visibilityChanged: SharedFlow<Boolean>

Callback invoked when the visibility of the layer changes.
