DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a class for accessing http servers providing tiles for slippy-based maps.

API

       ::map::slippy::fetcher fetcherName levels url
              Creates  the fetcher fetcherName and configures it with the number of zoom levels supported by the
              tile server, and the url it is listening on for tile requests.

              The result of the command is fetcherName.

   METHODS
       fetcherName levels
              This method returns the number of zoom levels supported by the fetcher object, and the tile server
              it is accessing.

       fetcherName tileheight
              This method returns the height of tiles served, in pixels.

       fetcherName tilewidth
              This method returns the width of tiles served, in pixels.

       fetcherName get tile donecmd
              This is the main method of the fetcher, retrieving the image for  the  specified  tile.  The  tile
              identifier  is  a  list  containing  three elements, the zoom level, row, and column number of the
              tile, in this order.

              The command refix donecmd will be invoked when the fetcher either knows the image for the tile  or
              that no image will forthcoming.  It will be invoked with either 2 or 3 arguments, i.e.

              [1]    The string set, the tile, and the image.

              [2]    The string unset, and the tile.

              These  two possibilities are used to either signal the image for the tile, or that the tile has no
              image defined for it.
