modtile
Modtile is an open-source modular tiling engine designed to support efficient rendering of large-scale tiled imagery and maps. It abstracts the concept of a tile grid into reusable components, enabling applications to display detailed data without loading an entire dataset. Typical tile sizes are 256x256 pixels, and modtile supports multi-resolution pyramids so that higher zoom levels fetch finer tiles while lower levels provide coarser representations.
Architecture and data model: The core is a tile manager that coordinates tile requests, caching, and lifecycle.
Features: Asynchronous tile loading, error handling, and graceful fallbacks when tiles are unavailable. Support for both
Usage: Developers initialize a modtile instance, configure tile sources and zoom ranges, and render tiles within
History and community: Modtile originated as an open-source project to unify tile-based rendering and has since
