WebTiledLayer

A layer that can visualize image tiles from non-ArcGIS web services or local tile caches based on a URI template. This layer 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 URI template.

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 URI template. Tiles are typically rendered and 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 sub-domains 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

Link copied to clipboard

The collection of sub-domains that can be used for the "{subDomain}" key in the WebTiledLayer.urlTemplate. At least one sub-domain must be provided if the WebTiledLayer.urlTemplate contains a {subDomain} key. Note: the value of WebTiledLayer.subDomains cannot be changed after this layer was loaded.

Link copied to clipboard

The URI template for the this web tiled layer. The template uses the {subDomain} (optional), {level}, {row}, and {col} keys to note how the layer should construct the URI for requesting individual tiles. The URI 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://). Note: the value of WebTiledLayer.urlTemplate cannot be changed after this layer was loaded.

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.

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 its FeatureTable.extent.

Link copied to clipboard

The gamma of the layer.

Link copied to clipboard
var id: String

The unique identifying string for the layer, as 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

True if the layer supports identify, false otherwise. The value of this property may not be correct until the layer is in a fully loaded state.

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. The maximum scale at which this layer is visible. If the map or scene is zoomed in beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means there is no maximum scale threshold and the layer will be visible at the smallest scale available for the map or scene. If the value is nil, there is no maximum scale. All of the connected map and scene views will be updated.

Link copied to clipboard

The minimum scale for the layer. The minimum scale at which this layer is visible. If the map or scene is zoomed out beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means there is no minimum scale threshold and the layer will be visible at the largest scale available for the map or scene. If the value is nil, there is no minimum scale. All of the connected map and scene views will be updated.

Link copied to clipboard
open override var name: String

The name of this layer.

Link copied to clipboard

Controls 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. The opacity of this layer as a value between 0 (fully transparent) and 1 (fully opaque). The default opacity value is 1.

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 tiling scheme information for this layer. The value of tileInfo cannot be changed after this layer is loaded.

Link copied to clipboard
val visibilityChanged: SharedFlow<Boolean>

Callback invoked when the visibility of the layer changes.

Functions
