Nice, few comments (based on my previous uses of the GDAL TMS mini-driver): - your plugin should make sure the loaded layer is assigned the proper projection (mostly pseudo-mercator); failing to do so will leave must users unable to understand why the TMS rendering fails - that would also switch OTF reprojection on when needed - consider adding TMS of the Global Forest Change (see http://www.earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest for data source, and https://www.flickr.com/photos/60284107@N00/11096344994/in/pool-qgis-screenshotsfor in-QGIS example)
The GDAL TMS driver is in many ways a superior solution to OpenLayers; it works perfectly fine with the multi-thread rendering, can be exported via qgis composer, caches the tiles, etc. Math On Tue, Apr 8, 2014 at 4:45 AM, Etienne Tourigny <etourigny....@gmail.com>wrote: > I have put together a simple plugin to load a number of TMS layers using > the GDAL TMS mini-driver [1].
