Overview

This RFC proposes to add a NEW GenerateTile() API to the tile service which return a bool value to indicate the tile generate success or not. This function will generate the tile on the server but not get the image from server. This function will allow user to pre-cache tiles on the server but elimate the cost of image transfer.

Motivation

Proposed Solution

Create a NEW GenerateTile() API that return a bool value.

Existing API:

    MgByteReader* GetTile(MgResourceIdentifier* mapDefinition,CREFSTRING baseMapLayerGroupName,INT32 tileColumn,INT32 tileRow,INT32 scaleIndex);

Proposed NEW API:

    bool GenerateTile(MgResourceIdentifier* mapDefinition,CREFSTRING baseMapLayerGroupName,INT32 tileColumn,INT32 tileRow,INT32 scaleIndex);

Implications

This change will NOT break existing API compatibility.

Test Plan

  • Build/Run on Windows/Linux
  • New Unit test for GenerateTile will be added
