Changing the Map Zoom to the Nearest Tile Server Level
Based on a selected zoom level, a tile server provides various types of information. In MapInfo
Professional, you can zoom on a tile server layer to any specified scale. In doing so, the tile server
images may stretch making them appear fuzzy and pixilated. To correct for this, you can select to display
tile server images at an optimal zoom level based on the tile server and current screen resolution. This
is a one-time adjustment to the current display.
To change the zoom to the nearest optimal display for the tile server image:
• On the Layer Control window, right-click the tile server layer and select Change Zoom to Nearest
Tile Server Level from the pop-up menu.
If there are multiple tile server layers in a map, the Zoom to Nearest Tile Server Level dialog box
opens where you can choose a tile server layer.
The map redraws with a zoom to the nearest tile server layer level.
Setting Tile Server Layer Properties
Tile server layers offer the ability to alter display attributes of the image tiles. These are the same
properties that are supported for raster layers and include: translucency, transparency, brightness,
contrast and grayscale.
To access layer properties for a tile server layer:
1. Open the Layer Control window by selecting Map > Layer Control.
2. Select a tile server layer in the Layer Control list.
3. Click the Layer Properties button.
4. Check the Style Override check box.
5. Click the style button (below the Style Override check box). The Adjust Image Styles dialog box
displays.
6. Change the image properties to suit your needs.
Tile server layers may be set as translucent.
The sample image shown in this dialog is based on the current view in the map. If you wish to
see a different sample image in this dialog, you will need to change the map view prior to bringing Note:
up this dialog. You may wish to change the view/image if selecting a transparent color because
the transparent color picker selects a color from the sample image.
