Description

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 AGSServiceImageTiledLayer, in which you implement a required method to set the request information for a given LOD, column, and row. Extending AGSWebTiledLayer, however, has no such requirement.

An AGSErrorCodeCommonInvalidArgument will be passed in the load completion block when attempting to load a layer with an invalid template URL.

If AGSTileInfo 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 full extent 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.

Tiles are fetched on demand using the specified URL template. Tiles are typically prerendered (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.

Method Documentation

◆ cancelLoad

- (void) cancelLoad

requiredinherited

Cancels loading if it is in progress, otherwise it does nothing. This should be called carefully because other objects could be waiting for loadWithCompletion: or retryLoadWithCompletion: to complete and this will call them all back with the error of NSUserCancelledError

Since: 100

◆ doCancelLoading

- (void) doCancelLoading

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when cancelLoad (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to cancel loading their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) at the end passing in an error representing NSUserCancelledError.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ doStartLoading:

- (void) doStartLoading: (BOOL) retrying

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when loadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) or retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to load their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) upon completion, passing in the error if any.

Parameters

retrying flag that is true if this method was called from retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p).

Since: 100

◆ initWithURLTemplate:

- (instancetype) initWithURLTemplate: (NSString *) URLTemplate

Creates an AGSWebTiledLayer object, which provides a simple way to integrate non-ArcGIS services as a layer in a map. Since an explicit AGSTileInfo argument is not part of this constructor, the max LOD will be 23 (approximate scale of 70 and resolution of 1.86 cm/pixel). The template URL usually follows a pattern similar to https://server.org/path/{level}/{col}/{row}.png, where "level" corresponds to a zoom level, "col" represents the tile column, and "row" represents the tile row. This URL should be arranged to reflect how the tiles are arranged in the cache or on the server. This URL can point to a web server (https://) or to a local file cache (file://). The tiles are assumed to be in the OpenStreetMap tiling scheme, with 256x256 PNG tiles at 96 DPI, the webMercator projection, and a fullExtents of [-180, -85.0511, 180, 85.051].

◆ isEqualToLayer:

- (BOOL) isEqualToLayer: (AGSLayer *) other

◆ isVisibleAtScale:

- (BOOL) isVisibleAtScale: (double) scale

Check whether this layer is visible at a given scale.

Since: 100

◆ loadDidFinishWithError:

- (void) loadDidFinishWithError: (nullable NSError *) error

Only subclasses should call this method in doStartLoading: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) and doCancelLoading (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) when done loading or failed to load.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ loadWithCompletion:

- (void) loadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error)) completion

requiredinherited

Loads data for the object asynchronously. The completion block is invoked upon completion.

You can call this method any number of times, however only one attempt is made to load the data. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load (i.e. not force a reload). If it has already loaded successfully, the completion block will be invoked right away. If it has already failed to load, the completion block will be invoked right away with error previously encountered. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters

completion block that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.

Note: The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

Since: 100

See also: - cancelLoad to cancel loading; - retryLoadWithCompletion: to force reload

◆ onLoadStatusChanged

- (void) onLoadStatusChanged

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when AGSLoadable::loadStatus changes is called. Subclasses can optionally implement this to know when their loading status has changed.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ respondWithNoDataTileForTileKey:

- (void) respondWithNoDataTileForTileKey: (AGSTileKey *) tileKey

Needs to be invoked when the custom layer does not find a tile.

Parameters

tileKey specifying the tile that was requested.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ respondWithTileKey:data:error:

- (void) respondWithTileKey:	(AGSTileKey *)	tileKey
data:	(nullable NSData *)	data
error:	(nullable NSError *)	error

Needs to be invoked when the custom layer has successfully retrieved the tile requested in tileRequestHandler, or if an error is encountered while retrieving the tile.

Parameters

tileKey	specifying the tile that was requested.
data	for the retrieved tile if the operation was successful.
error	encountered while retrieving the tile if the operation failed.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSImageTiledLayer(CustomImageTiledLayer).

◆ retryLoadWithCompletion:

- (void) retryLoadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error)) completion

requiredinherited

Tries to reload when an object has failed to load. This method should be called judiciously. It should be called when:

you didn't have network connectivity earlier when it failed and you want to retry now that you have connectivity
the server was down earlier when it failed and you want to retry
the request is taking too long and you want to cancel it and retry, in which case you will first call cancelLoad and then this method

If the data hasn't started loading, it will start loading. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load. If it has already loaded successfully, calls back right away. If it has already failed to load, tries again. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters

completion block that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.

Note: The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

◆ noDataTileBehavior

- (AGSNoDataTileBehavior) noDataTileBehavior

readwritenonatomicassigninherited

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:

AGSNoDataTileBehaviorUpSample - Resample the pixels from a lower level of detail tile. This can result in pixelation or blurriness. This is the default behavior for operational layers.

AGSNoDataTileBehaviorBlank - The 'NoData' pixels will show the raster picture as being blank (or disappearing). This is the default behavior for basemap reference layers.

AGSNoDataTileBehaviorShow - This will show the raster picture with the text 'No Data' stamped over it once you pass the lowest level-of-detail scale

Sometimes, to see the effect on the map when setting the AGSImageTiledLayer::noDataTileBehavior property, the AGSLayer::maxScale value must also be explicitly set. The AGSLayer::maxScale property may need to be smaller than the level-of-detail setting that was used to create the tiled images in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Desktop. For example, consider an operational image tiled layer showing forest cover that was created with the level-of-detail assumption that it was to be viewed above a scale of 5000 (meaning you will not see 'NoData' until you zoom closer to the Earth than a 5000 scale). However, you want to be able to zoom in closer to the Earth surface, say down to 3000 or 300. By setting the AGSLayer::maxScale property to a number smaller than 5000, you will be able to zoom in closer to the Earth and see the effects of changing the AGSImageTiledLayer::noDataTileBehavior enumerations.

Provided by category AGSServiceImageTiledLayer(CustomTiledLayer).

◆ URLTemplate

- (NSString*) URLTemplate

readnonatomiccopy

URLTemplate of the tile service such as https://{subDomain}.host.com/{level}/{col}/{row}.png where {level} corresponds to a zoom level, and {col} and {row} represent tile column and row, respectively. The file extension may change depending upon the image format used by the service, and {subDomain} may not be present. This pattern is not required, but is the most common one on the web currently and used by Map Quest, Open Cycle Map, Stamen, Bing, etc. The template URL should be arranged to reflect how the tiles are arranged in the cache or on the server, and can point to a web server (https://) or to a local file cache (file://).
