Support for WMTS data #11

Closed lionel68 closed 1 year ago

lionel68 commented 1 year ago

Hi Paul,

I was wondering if adding support for wmts data (like https://geoservices.ign.fr/services-web-experts-economie) would be a huge hassle. terra SpatRaster object easily pile up raster layers.

Thanks again for your awesome work.

Sorry, I thought that WMTS was about giving time-series raster data (like time series of population density). But apparently this is not what WMTS services are doing ...

Hi Lionel, Thanks for your comment.

As you find out, WMTS is not time-serie but tiled raste. This means that depending on the zoom level, it is not the same tile that is returned (more info here). I already tried to implement WMTS in happign but it's not worth it for the moment, you can have all WMTS as WMS.

Have a nice day
