[Geoserver-users] Vector Layers - Zoom Pyramid

Hi all,

Probably a stupid question but I cant seem to find any answers to this.

I have three vector layers State, County and Zip, and would like to display them at different zoom levels. Beyond the Image Pyramid plugin which is for raster data, is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Yes - see http://ian01.geog.psu.edu/geoserver_docs/data/naturalearth/naturalearth_physical.html for a tutorial that describes how I combined the three different scales of Natural Earth data using scale dependent SLD files.

The counterpart of pyramids for raster are generalizations for vector data, reducing the number of vertices for a geometry.

Look here

http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/featurepregen.html

and

http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/feature-pregeneralized/feature-pregeneralized_tutorial.html

The standard configuration is an XML document, but I personally use a plugin fetching config data from the database.

In case of further questions, please ask.

Cheers

Hi all,

Thanks for your comments and help this far.

One further thing, on top of using zoom levels, im also trying to
implement rule based vector styles, and when I validate the sld its
just throws up errors. Can I do the two things at the same time?

I have included below my (poor) sld code:

Thanks again!

Chris
