WMS Layer Custom Parameter

Tsub4sa80 — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 09:09:20 GMT

Hi to all, in my application I've a wms chart layer connected to local wms chart server.

For my purpose, I need to send a WMS request with custom parameter "VIEWPORT" instead of "BBOX" parameter (both parameters are not allowed by WMS ChartServer).

Can I remove the BBOX parameter, added by default from ARCGIS library, from the WMS request?

Thank you in advance.

Hello! Maps SDK lets you add certain parameters to add _all_ GetMap requests (such as an API key or a style configuration), but there is nothing built-in to customize each individual request.

I was able to WMS ChartServer's demo instance in the Maps SDK without problems, and it seems to handle GetMap requests the ordinary BBOX parameter well:

If using the BBOX parameter really doesn't work for your case, then the built-in WMSLayer probably would not work for you. If you have the ENC exchange sets available, you might be able to use this data directly via EncLayer instead of going through a service.

I solved forcing BBOX parameter to empty string using custom parameters.

Thank you.
