This documentation introduces how to create and view vector tiles using SuperMap iDesktopX through an application example.
Step 1: Data Preparation
To generate vector tiles, you first need to prepare a valid vector map. SuperMap supports generating vector tiles from point, line, polygon, and text layers. Most cartographic elements including symbolization and layer settings in SuperMap maps are compatible with MapBox styles. However, due to differences in style rendering between MapBox and SuperMap, there are certain limitations and considerations in vector map preparation. For detailed guidelines, please refer to Best Practices for Cartography.
The sample data used in this case comes from the 1:1 million scale map data of China (China.udb, China.udd).
