Use the singleTile option on gridded layers to request a single tile.

This map demonstrates the use of the singleTile property as an alternative to the default tiled behavior of layers. The first layer in the map is a WMS layer with the singleTile option set true. The second layer is a WMS layer with the default options.

View the single-tile.js source to see how this is done.
