Create an HTML file that displays a tile preview using Leaflet.
Arguments
- tiles
character, directory where tiles are stored.
- zoom
character, zoom levels full range. Example format:
"3-7"
.- width
NULL
(default) for geospatial map tiles. The original image width in pixels for non-geographic, simple CRS tiles.- height
NULL
(default) for geospatial map tiles. The original image height in pixels for non-geographic, simple CRS tiles.- georef
logical, for non-geographic tiles only. If
viewer = TRUE
, then the Leaflet widget inpreview.html
will add map markers with coordinate labels on mouse click to assist with georeferencing of non-geographic tiles.- ...
additional optional arguments include
lng
andlat
for setting the view longitude and latitude. These three arguments only apply to geographic tiles. Viewer centering is(0, 0)
by default.
Details
This function creates a file preview.html
adjacent to the tiles
base
directory. When loaded in the browser, this file displays map tiles from the
adjacent folder. For example, if tiles are stored in project/tiles
, this
function creates project/preview.html
.
By default, tile()
creates this file. The only reasons to call
tile_viewer()
directly after producing map tiles are: (1) if
viewer = FALSE
was set in the call to tile()
, (2) if tile()
was called
multiple times, e.g., for different batches of zoom levels, and thus the most
recent call did not use the full zoom range, or (3) preview.html
was
deleted for some other reason.
If calling this function directly, ensure that the min and max zoom, and
original image pixel dimensions if applicable, match the generated tiles.
These arguments are passed to tile_viewer} automatically when called within
tile(), based on the source file provided to
tile()`.
