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).

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

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).

The work may be achieved by:

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.
