MapTile

On this page

One square of a web map at one zoom level: 10/511/340.

Use it to cache or address map images. For a place on Earth, use Point.

Shape

Field Type Required?
zoom Int Yes
x Int Yes
y Int Yes

Its parts keep these rules, and a value that breaks one fails with the rule's name:

  • within_zoom: x and y are each below 2 to the zoom

Example

example
MapTile { zoom: 10 x: 511 y: 340 }

Good to know

  • Zoom runs from 0 to 30, and x and y must each be below 2 to the zoom.
  • == tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it, so sort by one of its parts instead.

In JSON

An object of its parts, in a request, a response or json.write:

json
{"zoom":0,"x":0,"y":0}{"zoom":10,"x":511,"y":340}{"zoom":18,"x":130981,"y":87168}

Details

Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations

MapTile is in the group Geospatial, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.

Text form

It has no single text form, so text.from and text.parse don't take it.

How it is stored

It is stored in 3 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is {"zoom":10,"x":511,"y":340}:

Column Type Holds
<field>_zoom smallint 10
<field>_x integer 511
<field>_y integer 340

How it is shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
{"zoom":0,"x":0,"y":0} 0/0/0
{"zoom":10,"x":511,"y":340} 10/511/340
{"zoom":18,"x":130981,"y":87168} 18/130981/87168

Operations

It also takes text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
