Show raster image on the map
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to incorporate a raster image overlay onto the map.
-
Copy the following code, paste it into your favorite text editor, and save it as a
.htmlfile.
-
Replace
YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HEREwith your own API key. Make sure to protect the key before publishing your map app! -
The next is up to you. You can center your map wherever you desire (modifying the
starting position) and set an appropriate zoom level (modifying thestarting zoom) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating thesource URL); choose from a range of visually appealing map styles from our extensive MapTiler standard maps, or create your own to truly differentiate your application.
-
Add event handler for map load event. You will add code to create an image source and image layer in this handler.
map.on('load', function() { }); -
Create image source. Here you can get the example image aerial_wgs84.png
map.on('load', function() { map.addSource("aerial-source", { "type": "image", "url": "img/aerial_wgs84.png", "coordinates": [ [4.639663696289062, 50.900867668253724], [4.642066955566406, 50.900867668253724], [4.642066955566406, 50.89935199434383], [4.639663696289062, 50.89935199434383] ] }); }); -
Add the image layer
map.addLayer({ "id": "overlay", "source": "aerial-source", "type": "raster", "paint": { "raster-opacity": 0.85 } });
