- Demonstrates map tiling artifacts, and OpenLayer's facility for correcting this distortion. + Demonstrates OpenLayer's facility for dealing with tiling artifacts.
- 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. + When you render tiles with certain types of symbols, some map + servers may render artifacts at tile edges that make symbology not + look continuous.
