Description
Chapter 4: Legacy Map Tiling Interface
Specifies the name of the named tile from which
the tile is generated. You must specify the location
in the repository for the named tile.
Determines the zoom level of the tile to be returned.
The level shows how close the map image is to the
Earth. Level 1 is the furthest away and is composed
of one tile that the entire map will be drawn into.
Level 2 is composed of 4 tiles, 2 across and 2
down. Each tile is a quarter of the entire map. Level
3 is composed of 16 tiles, 4 across and 4 down,
and so on. The higher the level specified, the closer
to the Earth the map image appears. For example,
levels 1 to 3 usually show global or hemispheric
detail, levels 4 to 15 show county/state/province
level of detail and some larger cities, levels greater
that 15 show street level views.
What the levels actually display is dependant on
the named map published to the Map Tile Service.
For example, the levels demonstrated above are
for Envinsa's High named map. If you published a
map of New York, Toronto, or London then level 1
would be a street level map of Toronto while high
levels would be more detailed.
This parameter must be set to a value greater than
or equal to the minLevel value and less than or
equal to the maxLevel value for the named map.
You can determine these values by calling the
getDescription method and examining the returned
MapDescription object. For more information, see
getDescription on page 29 and MapDescription
on page 40.
Specifies the column of the tile, based on the
level parameter specified.
