Pyramid.Info

The number of pyramid levels.

The size of a single map tile, in pixels.

The size of the bottom-most pyramid level.

The georeference of the pyramid.

Additional behaviour flags of the pyramid.

The pixel format hint of the pixel pyramid.

The pad width of this pyramid.

Tile padding is used to avoid color bleeding that will occur when texture samples are filtered at the edge of a pyramid tile (assuming tiles are stored in some kind of texture atlas). The tile pad width gives the number of safety pixels at the that are borrowed from neighbouring pyramid tiles:

The point coordinates marked with (X) will be mapped to the corner vertices of each terrain mesh sector. Only the effective region of a padded tile (i.e. the square surrounded by (X)) contains actual data. The padded pixels are sampled from neighbouring source tiles and carry redundant information.

For each pyramid level, holds the edge length of the square that has the same area as the parallelogram defined by the ground vectors corresponding to the raster steps of (1|0) and (0|1).
