Hi,
I have a scenario to load WMTS service in Web Edition. Can we achieve it. If it possible, please suggest me how can we do it.

Thanks,
Riyaz

Hi Riyaz,

We have a layer named WmtsLayer.

http://wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/api/thinkgeo.mapsuite.layers.wmtslayer

You can refer the sample, which also works for web edition.

Hi Ethan,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried the following code, and it looks its creating and adding WMTS layer, but i am not able to see it on map. I am getting some object reference error.

WmtsLayer wmtsLayer = new WmtsLayer();
wmtsLayer.DrawingExceptionMode = DrawingExceptionMode.DrawException;
wmtsLayer.WmtsSeverEncodingType = ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Layers.WmtsSeverEncodingType.Restful;
wmtsLayer.ServerUris.Add(new Uri(“https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/AdvancedSymbology_Point/MapServer/1”));
wmtsLayer.ActiveLayerName = “PointSymbol”;
wmtsLayer.ActiveStyleName = “default”;
wmtsLayer.TileMatrixSetName = “GoogleMapsCompatible”;
wmtsLayer.OutputFormat = “image/png”;
LayerOverlay layerOverlay = new LayerOverlay(“wmtsOverlay”);
layerOverlay.Layers.Add(“wmtsLayer”, wmtsLayer);
Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(layerOverlay);

and out put is follows

please look at the issue and give me solution or some other sample …

Thanks,
Riyaz

Hi Riyaz,

The link you passed in should be:
https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/AdvancedSymbology_Point/MapServer/WMTS/

it’s not:
https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/AdvancedSymbology_Point/MapServer/1

But even you use the correct one, this layer still don’t works because the server capability looks invalid: https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/AdvancedSymbology_Point/MapServer/WMTS/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml

It don’t contains layer information and other important information.

And I view its server sample after that: https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/AdvancedSymbology_Point/MapServer?view=wmtsview

It looks the default view map don’t works.

So I think this server don’t follow the standard or maybe it’s broken. Could you please double check it?

Ethan

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for your reply, Could please share exact code for adding wms service to a map.

Thanks,

Hi Riyaz,

I means your server setting should have some problem, just like I mentioned, the capability should be incomplete, so I cannot make it works.

I hadn’t modify your code in the sample, just replace the url to https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/AdvancedSymbology_Point/MapServer/WMTS/

But it still don’t works.

Is there any projection making issue on it.
Please share exact code for achieve this.

Hi Riyaz,

The code as below works:

    Map1.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.Meter;

            WmtsLayer wmtsLayer = new WmtsLayer();

            

            wmtsLayer.DrawingExceptionMode = DrawingExceptionMode.DrawException;
            wmtsLayer.WmtsSeverEncodingType = ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Layers.WmtsSeverEncodingType.Restful;

            wmtsLayer.ServerUris.Add(new Uri("https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Demographics/USA_Population_Density/MapServer/WMTS/"));
            wmtsLayer.ActiveLayerName = "Demographics_USA_Population_Density";
            wmtsLayer.ActiveStyleName = "default";
            wmtsLayer.TileMatrixSetName = "default028mm";
            wmtsLayer.OutputFormat = "image/png";
            

            LayerOverlay layerOverlay = new LayerOverlay("wmtsOverlay");
            layerOverlay.Layers.Add("wmtsLayer", wmtsLayer);
            Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(layerOverlay);

            Map1.CurrentExtent = new RectangleShape(-19840230.3899, 11536810.662600003, -7452840.4651999995, 2144435.3407000005);

Hi Ethan,
I am getting ‘Object reference’ issue again with another ‘WMTS’.
Scenario:
we have wmts service url to display on the map. it’s opening on ‘Openlayers’, where as it’s not coming in Thinkgeo web forms using ‘WmtsLayer’.

Code:
WmtsLayer wmtsLayer = new WmtsLayer();
wmtsLayer.DrawingExceptionMode = DrawingExceptionMode.DrawException;
wmtsLayer.WmtsSeverEncodingType = ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Layers.WmtsSeverEncodingType.Restful;
wmtsLayer.ServerUris.Add(new Uri(“wmts url”));//…/wmts/
wmtsLayer.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(“username”, “password”);
wmtsLayer.ActiveLayerName = “LayerName”;
wmtsLayer.ActiveStyleName = “StyleName”;
wmtsLayer.TileMatrixSetName = “GoogleMapsCompatible”;
wmtsLayer.OutputFormat = “image/png”;
LayerOverlay WMTSlayerOverlay = new LayerOverlay(“WMTSOverlay”);
WMTSlayerOverlay.Layers.Add(“WMTSLayer”, wmtsLayer);
Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(WMTSlayerOverlay);

screen shot:

In open layers, tileGrid property using to set WMTS layer. But same property not available in our Thinkgeo web forms. Is tileGrid property missing to load this wmts or anything missing.
Please suggest me some solution to resolve this issue.

Note : We can’t share our ‘wmts’ url for some reason.

Thanks,
Riyaz

Hi Riyaz,

If the url cannot be shared, you can do something follow the steps as below:

Add event for example sending request or via 3rd part utility to get the request url.
Test the url in browser to see whether it works there.
Open the capability, and find target dom to make sure whether your parameter is using correct, the link should be: www.yourdomain.com/wms?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities
Try to find a valid parameter, for example you can view the request sent from OpenLayers, then compare the request and see which parameter is missing or which one is incorrect.
If modify parameter in code don’t works, try to modify the sending request url.

Wish that’s helpful.

Regards,

Ethan
