Creating a non-tiled base map through WebAPI

[Brendon_Otto]

Hello,

I am attempting to use WebAPI edition to generate an image for reporting. I’d like to overlay two or more layers around a central county but it’s not clear how to get the base map of the county. Currently I’m getting an image back from an API request that has the polygon that should be overlaid but the base map that would display the county is missing. In the MVC library it’s as simple as creating a Map class and performing the overlays from that base.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi Brendon_Otto,

I am confused about your question, in fact you can understand the MVC edition as a client side library and a server side WebAPI edition, so if your requirement can works in MVC edition, it should also works for the WebAPI edition.

And I guess you want to render a big image as base map, you just need pass a big extent back to server side, it should works. That’s related with the client library for example OpenLayers or Leaflet etc.
