Class: Tile

ol.layer.Tile

For layer sources that provide pre-rendered, tiled images in grids that are organized by zoom levels for specific resolutions. Note that any property set in the options is set as a ol.Object property on the layer object; for example, setting title: 'My Title' in the options means that title is observable, and has get/set accessors.

new ol.layer.Tile(opt_options)

src/ol/layer/tilelayer.js, line 32
Name Type Description
options

Tile layer options.

Name Type Description
opacity number | undefined

Opacity (0, 1). Default is 1.

preload number | undefined

Preload. Load low-resolution tiles up to preload levels. By default preload is 0, which means no preloading.

source ol.source.Tile

Source for this layer. Required.

map ol.Map | undefined experimental

Sets the layer as overlay on a map. The map will not manage this layer in its layers collection, and the layer will be rendered on top. This is useful for temporary layers. The standard way to add a layer to a map and have it managed by the map is to use ol.Map#addLayer.

visible boolean | undefined

Visibility. Default is true (visible).

extent ol.Extent | undefined

The bounding extent for layer rendering. The layer will not be rendered outside of this extent.

minResolution number | undefined

The minimum resolution (inclusive) at which this layer will be visible.

maxResolution number | undefined

The maximum resolution (exclusive) below which this layer will be visible.

useInterimTilesOnError boolean | undefined

Use interim tiles on error. Default is true.
