This is a basic appengine-based app to handle server-side map tile overlay as a custom map source.
It is currently deployed under "http://tilesource-153122.appspot.com"
For example:
- http://tilesource-153122.appspot.com/composite/im_fs-32_ct-64/
- http://tilesource-153122.appspot.com/composite/mb_fs-32/
The service provides a basic REST-ish interface:
/composite/<tilespec>/
- Provides leaflet-based preview map./composite/<tilespec>/tile?z={z}&x={x}&y={y}
- Renders composite tiles at the given location./composite/<tilespec>/tilejson
- Renders a tilejson spec for given composite map.
Where <tilespec>
is of the form [layer(-alpha?)]+ specifying, in order,
layers and optional alpha values for compositing. See layer sources in tilesource.py
.
Z levels of 7-17 appear to work...
