Settings

The type of imagery provider to use when viewing tilesets and data sources within the STK Terrain Server user interface. We recommend that you use the default, Public Bing Maps Imagery, unless it is not accessible on your network, because that one provides excellent imagery without any complicated configuration. The other options require you to have an imagery server of some sort on your network, and include:

Custom ArcGisMapServerImageryProvider - Request imagery from a Map Service hosted in ArcGIS Server. The URL provided should be to the map service itself and usually ends with "/MapServer".

Custom GoogleEarthImageryProvider - Request imagery from a Google Earth Enterprise server. This will not work with the public Google Earth servers, only with Google Earth Enterprise Server.

Custom TileMapServiceImageryProvider - Request imagery from a Tile Map Service (TMS) server. Programs like MapTiler and GDAL2Tiles can produce tiles according to the TMS specification.

Custom WebMapServiceImageryProvider - Request imagery from a Web Map Service (WMS) server, such as GeoServer.

Natural Earth II (Local) - If no server is accessible from your network, the STK Terrain Server provides the Natural Earth II TileMapServiceImagery.

The URL of the server hosting the imagery.

Sets the type of Bing Maps imagery provided by Bing Maps.

The channel (id) to use when requesting data from the Google Earth Enterprise server.

The WMS layers to request. If multiple layers are specified, they should be separated by commas.

Additional parameters to include in the call to the WMS GetMap service. The parameters should be specified using a JSON object. For example, the following value for this property will request transparent PNG files from the WMS server:

{
    "transparent" : "true",
    "format" : "image/png"
}

The credit text to display at the bottom of the window when this imagery provider is in use.

Specifies whether a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) proxy is required in order to access this imagery server. If you're not sure, check this box, which will increase the chances that the imagery provider works, at a slight performance cost.
