TileLayer.AutoThin Property
Gets or sets a flag indicating if line and polygon features should be thinned automatically.
Syntax
public System.Boolean AutoThin { get; set; }
Property Value
Default: true
True if line and polygon features should be thinned automatically; otherwise, False.
Remarks
Automatic thinning of line and polygon features is an optimization that trades a small amount of time in the tile layer's background thread for faster drawing by the GUI thread. How large the speedup is depends on the density of the data but it typically lies in the 5-15% range.
Automatic thinning reduces the detail level of lines and polygons in the layer. In fact the result is the same as if a LineThinningOperator with a maximum error of 0.5 pixels had been inserted before each VisualizationOperator under the TileLayer. This means that the resulting image will be slightly different with automatic thinning than without. However, since the maximum error introduced is less than half a pixel it is usually not noticeable.
