[mapserver-users] Mapcache - Howto provide additional high DPI tileset?

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your help, that does it. Great!

@Robert, atm I'm using leaflet and this provides boolean L.Browser.retina
property that can be used to check whether the client has a higher pixel
ratio. It also has a detectRetina option for the tileLayer, but since we
need to switch tile/gridsets I'm not sure whether this can be used. I'm
sure other clients will have something similar.

Cheers, Michael
