Display a tiled imagery layer

Image service showing world elevation imagery tile layer.

To display rasters from an tiled imagery layer, you need to use a client-side mapping API such as ArcGIS Maps SDKs or open source libraries. In most cases, the APIs support a class you can use to make requests to the image service with a service URL. The API is responsible for requesting tiles for the visible map extent.

How to display tiled imagery layer

The steps to display tiled imagery layer are:

  1. Get the URL for the tiled imagery layer service you want to display.
  2. Set the service URL for the tiled imagery layer service.
  3. Add the layer to a map.

Display a tiled imagery layer

To display a hosted tiled imagery layer, you reference the hosted tiled imagery layer by ID or URL and then add the layer to a map or scene. The client application requests the tiles from the map tile service for the current zoom level.

Steps

  1. Create a map or scene.
  2. Get the hosted tiled imagery layer URL.
  3. Add the layer.
