How do I get ArcGIS tiles to display a single layer when multiple layers are available?

What is the difference between vector tile and tile in ArcGIS?

Vector tiles are much smaller in size than corresponding raster tiles with rendered symbology. This slightly reduces the cost to store and serve the tiles. Vector tile layers can be projected into various coordinate systems, using desktop applications such as ArcGIS Pro, without distortion of labels and other symbols.

What is the difference between tile and vector tile?

Vector tile layers are similar to web tile layers, but they store a vector representation of the data instead of a raster representation. Because the data and the visual style are separate, vector tile layers can be customized to the map, which drives dynamic, interactive cartography.

How do tile layers differ from feature layers?

The type of layer determines how you can interact with the layer’s data. For example, you can view and query the data in a feature layer to see a feature’s attributes. You may also be able to edit the data represented by the feature layer. With tile layers, you only see tiled images of the features.

How do I create a tile layer in ArcGIS?

Quote from video: Just make sure your layer type is selected to tile. If you click the configuration tile this is where you specify the tiling scheme. And the level of details that you want to build for the cache.

Which tile layout is best?

Best Tile Patterns

• Square-Set or Grid Tile Pattern. It is the most common and the easiest of square tile patterns.
• Diagonal Pattern.
• Running Bond/Brick Tile Pattern.
• Herringbone Pattern.
• Chevron Pattern.
• Basket Weave Tile Pattern.
• Windmill Pattern or Pinwheel (Hopscotch) Pattern.

Is it better to tile vertical or horizontal?

If you want something safe then choose horizontal tiles. But if you want something unique then choose vertical tiles. It should also be said that vertical tiles are more difficult to lay, so if you’re a beginner, don’t attempt them.
 

What are the 3 types of tiles?

6 Main Types of Tiles

• Ceramic Tile.
• Porcelain Tile.
• Glass Tile.
• Marble Tile.
• Granite Tile.
• Other Natural Stone Tile.

What are the advantages of vector tiles?

A vector tile service will send much less data than a raster service would send for the same map, meaning lower bandwidth use and lower disk space requirements. Features are represented in a very lightweight manner and styles are only defined once before being applied to a layer no matter how many features.
 

What is the main reason that vector tiles are preferred over raster tiles when showing vector data on web maps?

Another factor that makes vector tiles the better alternative is rendering. Raster tiles are rendered beforehand on the developer’s end and loaded on the server, so every time a user opens the map, the pre-rendered tiles are simply shown on the screen. Vector tiles however are rendered on the user’s end.
 

What are vector tiles ArcGIS?

Vector tiles contain vector representations of data across a range of scales. Unlike raster tiles, they adapt to the resolution of their display device and can be restyled for multiple uses. You can share vector tile layers or share vector tile packages to your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise portal.

What are vector map tiles?

Vector tiles are a way to deliver geographic data in small chunks to a browser or other client application. Vector tiles are similar to raster tiles, but instead of raster images, the data returned is a vector representation of the features in the tile.
