TilingScheme

new TilingScheme

A tiling scheme for geometry or imagery on the surface of an ellipsoid. At level-of-detail zero, the coarsest, least-detailed level, the number of tiles is configurable. At level of detail one, each of the level zero tiles has four children, two in each direction. At level of detail two, each of the level one tiles has four children, two in each direction. This continues for as many levels as are present in the geometry or imagery source.

Members

ellipsoid :Ellipsoid

Gets the ellipsoid that is tiled by the tiling scheme.

extent :Extent

Gets the extent, in radians, covered by this tiling scheme.

projection :Projection

Gets the map projection used by the tiling scheme.

Methods

createLevelZeroTiles

Creates the tile or tiles at level of detail zero, the coarsest, least detailed level.

Returns:

Array An array containing the tiles at level of detail zero, starting with the tile in the northwest corner and followed by the tile (if any) to its east.

extentToNativeExtent

Transforms an extent specified in geodetic radians to the native coordinate system of this tiling scheme.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`extent`	Extent		The extent to transform.
`result`	Extent	<optional>	The instance to which to copy the result, or undefined if a new instance should be created.

Returns:

Extent The specified 'result', or a new object containing the native extent if 'result' is undefined.

getNumberOfXTilesAtLevel

Gets the total number of tiles in the X direction at a specified level-of-detail.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`level`	Number	The level-of-detail.

Returns:

Number The number of tiles in the X direction at the given level.

getNumberOfYTilesAtLevel

Gets the total number of tiles in the Y direction at a specified level-of-detail.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`level`	Number	The level-of-detail.

Returns:

Number The number of tiles in the Y direction at the given level.

positionToTileXY

Calculates the tile x, y coordinates of the tile containing a given cartographic position.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`position`	Cartographic		The position.
`level`	Number		The tile level-of-detail. Zero is the least detailed.
`result`	Cartesian	<optional>	The instance to which to copy the result, or undefined if a new instance should be created.

Returns:

Cartesian2 The specified 'result', or a new object containing the tile x, y coordinates if 'result' is undefined.

tileXYToExtent

Converts tile x, y coordinates and level to a cartographic extent in radians.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`x`	Number		The integer x coordinate of the tile.
`y`	Number		The integer y coordinate of the tile.
`level`	Number		The tile level-of-detail. Zero is the least detailed.
`result`	Object	<optional>	The instance to which to copy the result, or undefined if a new instance should be created.

Returns:

Extent The specified 'result', or a new object containing the extent if 'result' is undefined.

tileXYToNativeExtent

Converts tile x, y coordinates and level to an extent expressed in the native coordinates of the tiling scheme.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`x`	Number		The integer x coordinate of the tile.
`y`	Number		The integer y coordinate of the tile.
`level`	Number		The tile level-of-detail. Zero is the least detailed.
`result`	Object	<optional>	The instance to which to copy the result, or undefined if a new instance should be created.

Returns:

Extent The specified 'result', or a new object containing the extent if 'result' is undefined.

<static> createRectangleOfLevelZeroTiles

Creates a rectangular set of tiles for level of detail zero, the coarsest, least detailed level.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`tilingScheme`	TilingScheme	The tiling scheme for which the tiles are to be created.
`numberOfLevelZeroTilesX`	Number	The number of tiles in the X direction at level zero of the tile tree.
`numberOfLevelZeroTilesY`	Number	The number of tiles in the Y direction at level zero of the tile tree.

Returns:

Array An array containing the tiles at level of detail zero, starting with the tile in the northwest corner and followed by the tile (if any) to its east.
