###BruTile BruTile is a C# open source library to access tile services like OpenStreetMap and Bing. BruTile has few dependencies, is platform independent and has a limited scope. It is intended for reuse by other more sophisticated libraries
###Get it from NuGet
PM> Install-Package BruTile
https://www.nuget.org/packages/BruTile
###Projects that use BruTile
- [ArcBruTile] (https://arcbrutile.codeplex.com/) a plugin for ArcGIS
- [SharpMap] (https://sharpmap.codeplex.com/) a GIS library
- [Mapsui] (https://github.com/pauldendulk/Mapsui) a slippy map that runs in Silverlight
- [DotSpatial] (https://dotspatial.codeplex.com/) a GIS library that is used in [HyrdroDesktop] (https://hydrodesktop.codeplex.com/)
- [PDOK] (https://www.pdok.nl/nl/producten/pdok-software/pdok-extensie-voor-arcgis) extensie voor ArcGIS
###Demo Go [here] (https://brutiledemo.appspot.com/) for an online Silverlight demo of BruTile used in Mapsui
###Portable Class Library (PCL) BruTile is a PCL with Profile336 which targets:
- .Net Framework 4.0.3 and higher
- Windows 8
- Windows Phone Silverlight 8
- Silverlight 5
- Windows Phone 8.1
- Xamarin.iOS
- Xamarin.Android
###For downward compatibility we also compile for:
- .Net Framework 4.0
- .Net Framework 3.5
###Supported tile service protocols:
- TMS
- OSM (TMS with inverted y-axis)
- WMS-C
- WMS (tiled requests to a regular WMS - like WMS-C)
- WMTS
- ArcGIS Tile Server
###Known tile sources:
You can easily create an ITileSource
for a number of specific tile servers with statements like:
var tileSource1 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.OpenStreetMap)
var tileSource2 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.MapQuestAerial)
var tileSource3 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.BingHybrid)
var tileSource4 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.StamenTonerLite)
var tileSource5 = KnownTileSources.Create(KnownTileSource.EsriWorldShadedRelief)
###Roadmap Here are our future plans:
- Update automatic TileSchema generation to bring WMTS, WMS, TMS and WMSC in line.
- Rename all classes to get them in line with WMTS types.
- Better samples
- Better documentation
- Release v1
###Warnings Note, this library is work in progress. It is in BETA.
- At the moment there is no documentation.
- We will introduce breaking changed frequently. We change the API whenever we feel this is an improvement.
- We adopt new technologies relatively fast, dropping support for older frameworks.
- Although I do have a general plan of where to go with this library I do not have the resources to go towards that goal in a systematic way. I add functionality depending on what is needed in the projects I work on.
