+title: Rendering 16-bit NumpyTiles
+shortdesc: Renders a multi-byte depth source image directly using WebGL.
+docs: >
+  This example uses a <code>ol/source/DataTile</code> source to load multi-byte raster data in the
+  <a href="https://github.com/planetlabs/numpytiles-spec/"></a>NumpyTile</a> format.
+  The source is rendered with a <code>ol/layer/WebGLTile</code> layer.  Adjusting the sliders above
+  performs a contrast stretch by adjusting the style variables set on the layer.
+tags: "numpytiles, webgl"

+  - https://unpkg.com/@planet/ol-numpytiles@2.0.2/umd/NumpyLoader.js
