# Gutter Example

gutter, quality, tile

Demonstrates map tiling artifacts, and OpenLayer's facility for correcting this distortion.

When you render tiles with certain types of symbols, there are artifacts at tile edges that make symbology not look continuous. In the center of the above map (when it first loads), the large orange road is split vertically by a tile. Open the layer switcher and change to the layer with a 15 pixel gutter to see how the symbology looks nicer.
