[mapguide-users] Tiling Success (I think)

[Kori Maleski]

Hi George,

The Tiling Engine works based on how you have set up your Map Definition in
MapGuide Studio.

You specify the number zoom threshold scales over a specified range in
Studio for a Base Layer.

The tiling engine will loop through each of these, and based on the map
width and height in meters or feet, will generate a grid of tiles.

The tiles are automatically added to your site repository tile cache.

It is the MapGuide Server that does the processing, the Tiling Engine just
does the math and requests.

The metrics of the performance gain will vary by server configuration and
client monitor size, but I have seen 5-10x faster depending.


Cheers,

Subject: [mapguide-users] Tiling Success (I think)

I just ran the wsd tiling engine against a set of base layers. I do not 
have any real metrics but it appears that the map redraws more quickly 
now when I pan and zoom. I was curious if there was any way to see how 
the layers were tiled? I would like to learn more about what is actually 
happening when I run the tiling process. I could not find much detail on 
the wsd website about this. Are there more details available?

Thanks

George McLean
