Re: [Gwt-openlayers-users] Wrapping XYZ Layer

[Edwin C. <com...@gm...>]

Hi Andrew,

I wonder when the updateSize method should be called. As far as I know
it should work to let the OpenLayers div be 100% by 100% of the parent
div, since the size of the div is requested from the div when it is
needed. It seems that the updateSize method is a work-around for when
you set a fixed width and height, while in reality the map is not
fixed, but the parent div can be expanded and the div containing the
map should resize to its parent. However, maybe I am missing out on
something there.

If you have a good use case for the XYZ class then please add it to
Trac. You can create tickets without having to log in. It seems the
XYZ class is a low-level thing intended for use in specific OpenLayers
classes, such as the OSM layer. I see that it wrongly states above the
XYZ constructor that it is the OSM layer constructor. We should
possible wrap both the XYZ and the OSM layer, with the OSM layer
extending XYZ.

For OpenStreetMap things are a bit unclear to me, because there is
also the TMS layer, which is wrapped by GWT-OL by someone who used
OpenStreetMap. I am not sure which layer is more up to date XYZ/OSM or
TMS. It seems that one of them is obsolete. The 'osm-layer.html'
example in OpenLayers 2.8 includes OSM data by means of a WMS. The
'tms.html' does have a TMS layer, but is not what I expected to see.
Andrew, if you know more about this, please let me know.

Greetings,
Edwin
