Raster XYZ Layers

Raster XYZ Layers in Dielmo Maps allow for the visualization of geospatial data in tile format, facilitating the representation of cartographic information in the form of raster maps. These layers are useful for displaying satellite images, topographic maps, orthophotos, and other types of geospatial data in the platform.

Generating XYZ Raster Layers with QGIS

If you want to create XYZ raster layers to use in Dielmo Maps, you can follow these steps using the open-source software QGIS:

  1. Data Preparation: Gather the data you want to represent in your XYZ raster layer in a format compatible with QGIS, such as raster images (e.g., orthophotos, topographic maps) or georeferenced raster data.
  2. Load Data into QGIS: Open QGIS and load the raster data you want to use in your project. To do this, you can use the “Add Layer” option in the “Layer” menu and select the option corresponding to the type of raster data you are using.
  3. Prepare Projection and Extent: Ensure your data is in the correct projection and that the project extent in QGIS matches the extent of the data you want to export as an XYZ raster layer.
  4. Generate XYZ Raster Layer: Once your data is loaded and prepared in QGIS, you can export it as an XYZ raster layer by following these steps:
    1. Right-click on the raster layer in the layers panel.
    2. Select the “Export” or “Save as…” option. In the export dialog, choose “XYZ Tile Server” as the output format.
    3. Define the destination path and other export parameters as needed.
    4. Click “OK” to export your data as an XYZ raster layer.
  5. Upload to Dielmo Maps: Once you have generated your XYZ raster layer in QGIS, you can upload it to Dielmo Maps to visualize and use it in your projects.Use the layer upload option in Dielmo Maps to import your XYZ raster layer and start leveraging its functionalities.

By following these steps, you will be able to generate XYZ raster layers with QGIS and use them in Dielmo Maps to effectively and visually represent your geospatial data.
