I’m curious to know if it is possible to generate an image of a map that is not actually displayed in a GUI anywhere and how I would go about achieving that? I currently want to create a map, provide the relevant layers and then save the creation as an image to later be shown/used, but this image will be created server-side and has no need to be visibly displayed at the time of its creation.
All of the examples I have found for generating images, does so after having first created a WPF application or some similar GUI, which the image is captured from.
Creating image from map that is not displayed
Hi Mark,
It looks you want to draw map background and directly use the rendered map image. If I misunderstand that please let me know.
1. If you are using our Desktop Edition or WPF Edition you can call this API: Map1.GetBitmap
2. If you are draw map by our Core, please download ServiceEdition and view its HowDoISamples, they contains many code for directly draw map by GDI with our Core
Any question please let us know.
Regards,
Don
