Usage
The purpose of pg_tileserv is to turn a set of spatial records into tiles, on the fly. The tile server reads two different layers of data:
- Table layers are what they sound like: tables and views in the database that have a spatial column with a spatial reference system defined on it.
- Function layers hide the source of data from the server, and allow the HTTP client to send in optional parameters to allow more complex SQL functionality. Any function of the form
function(z integer, x integer, y integer, ...)that returns an MVTbytearesult can serve as a function layer.
