[OpenLayers-Dev] Create a Map Tile Downloader

[slippyr4]

here are some bits of c# code which will help the OP out.

// you won't be able to use BoundingBox<T> - that's my class - but these
are the "world extents" for a OSM map
_worldExtents = new BoundingBox<Coord>(left: -20037508.34, right:
20037508.34, top: 20037508.34, bottom: -20037508.34);

// compute resolutions for each zoom level
double[] resolutions = new double[_numZoomLevels];
            for (int z = 0; z < _numZoomLevels; z++)
            {
                resolutions[z] = (_worldExtents.Width / _tileSize) /
Math.Pow(2.0, z);
            }


then you need to know how big a tile is in your chosen zoom level
private const int _tileSize = 256;
double _tileSizeMetres = _resolutions[_zoomLevel] * _tileSize;

// then you can work out the range of tiles you need
// e.MapExtents  is the region of interest (a rectangle in EPSG 3857)
            var tile_min_x = (int)Math.Floor((e.MapExtents.Left -
_worldExtents.Left) / _tileSizeMetres);
            var tile_max_x = (int)Math.Floor((e.MapExtents.Right -
_worldExtents.Left) / _tileSizeMetres);
            var tile_min_y = (int)Math.Floor((_worldExtents.Top -
e.MapExtents.Top) / _tileSizeMetres);
            var tile_max_y = (int)Math.Floor((_worldExtents.Top -
e.MapExtents.Bottom) / _tileSizeMetres);

// logically you can now do the following:-

for (int x = tile_min_x; x <= tile_max_x; x++)
            {
                for (int y = tile_min_y; y <= tile_max_y; y++)
                {
             // download tile x,y, _zoomLevel here

}
}


hope that helps. it's not finished code and won't compile, but if you
regard it as pseudo-code it works correctly.
