GSoC 2009 WMS Tiling Cache support in gvSIG

=About the Author= My name is Xi Chen, and you can call me Chauncey for short. I come from Beijing, China. I am a second year graduate student at ISCAS (Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences) for my master degree.

I am a GSoC 2009 student joining in gvSIG project of OSGeo Organization. My GSoC 2009 project is to implement WMS Tiling Cache support in gvSIG.

=WMS Tiling Cache support in gvSIG Project=

Aim of the project
WMS_Tile_Caching has been defined within OSGeo, with a WMS_Tiling_Client_Recommendation. The aim of the proposal is to add WMS Tiling Cache support to gvSIG, in order to allow the loading of this kind of layers (WMS-Cache).

Planned Timeline
Draft:


 * 1) First designing raster tile support in gvSIG core.
 * 2) Adding a new renderer on the same Map Control.
 * 3) It should be defined the way a tile layer is going to be integrated with the rest of layers, attending to discrete zoom levels.
 * 4) Management of multiple tile layers with possibly different zoom levels.
