[MapProxy] Dealing with a source with multiple resolutions in one layer

[Benjamin Wragg]

Hi Paul,

> How did you set up the layer that combined all of them?

I combined them all in one layer by just doing the following in my layer definition:

layers:
  name: layer_name
  title: layer description
  sources: [whole_earth_cache, detailed_area1_cache, detailed_area2_cache]

As I understand it, with the above setup, if I request the tiles of a certain area it would:
1) get all the tiles of whole_earth_cache
2) if there are some tiles in detailed_area1_cache it gets all the corresponding tiles and layers them over the top
3) if there are some tiles in detailed_area2_cache it gets all the corresponding tiles and layers them over the top

so the resulting tile images that get served out are a mix of all 3 caches.

In my setup I precache everything I need as my users run offline without internet access, so I setup the extent in my seed.yaml. In this file you can define a coverage like:

coverages:
  coverage_of_detailed_area_1
    ogr_datasource: /path to shapefile.shp
    ogr_srs 'EPSG:code_of_projection'
    ogr_where: 'field_name = "my area of interest'


then in the seed.yaml you can setup a seed that refers to this coverage and 1 for the whole globe:


seeds:
  detailed_area_1_seed:
     caches: [name_of_the_cache_you_defined_in_your_mapproxy.yaml_for_the_detailed_area1]
     levels:
       to: 19 #whatever level you want
     coverages: [coverage_of_detailed_area_1]
     refresh_before:
       weeks:52

  entire_globe_seed:
     caches: [name_of_the_cache_you_defined_in_your_mapproxy.yaml_for_the_entire_globe]
     levels:
       to: 20 #whatever level you want
     refresh_before:
       weeks:52


Then I run mapproxy-seed to pre cache these areas.
