Offline Mapping

[deleted286]

Hi everyone. Im trying to do offline map. There is an example called lightmaps. I did not understand one thing. There are too many tiles according to zoom level. Even we have zoom level 2, there were 16 tiles. How can we declare all of them ?

QString path = "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%1/%2/%3.png";

In the example, it was doing in that way. What refers %1, %2 and %3 i didnt understand it.
Can anybody help me in this issue?

@suslucoder In another thread I told you what it does and gave you a link - did you check that?
I post the link once more: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#arg

@suslucoder
And in addition to @jsulm, if you are taking this from that example code look at how they use the string in their code?

[deleted286]

@jsulm I've checked. I couldnt find the same thing on that example.
It gives an osm link, I dont think they are used QString i which refers to %1, or anything like that.

There is just one line which include QString. It is the one I asked.

@suslucoder
They are defining that string but never using it? You could always have told us in which file in the example code...

@suslucoder
So why do you say it does not use it, or it's doing something else??

    QString path = "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%1/%2/%3.png";
    m_url = QUrl(path.arg(zoom).arg(grab.x()).arg(grab.y()));

It's using it on the following line!

[deleted286]

@JonB you are so clear!
I wouldn't ask such a question if I understood what they were doing

[JonB]

@suslucoder
OK, forget the QUrl part on that second line. path is a QString. And it's using path.arg().arg().... Look up exactly what @jsulm referred you to:

I post the link once more: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#arg

That explains exactly why there are %1, %2s etc. in the string and what QString::arg() does with them. He & I don't know how to explain any better!

[jsulm]

@suslucoder Maybe one example:

QString path = "http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%1/%2/%3.png";
qDebug() << path.arg("ONE").arg("TWO").arg("THREE");

Will output: http://tile.openstreetmap.org/ONE/TWO/THREE.png

@jsulm understand now. Thank you

[deleted286]

@jsulm I understand it. You locked my question, but it was another question.
Im trying to find a way for tile a map.

You locked my question

Which one?

It was me. The question was to similar.
